added release state display to info app

[DirkBaumeister]

I tried to add a release state to the release notes tab in the info app.

It should look like this:

It fetches the current release state by using the android.os.Build.BOARD constant for stable, beta and alpha by constructing the url https://releases.grapheneos.org/$board-$releasePhase

Feedback is very much welcomed as these are my first steps in kotlin 😄

So this checks for which model you have and fetched the values for your own device? What channel a release is in can differ per device.

[DirkBaumeister]

Yes, that's right.
As long as android.os.Build.BOARD gives the correct device name (husky for Pixel 8 Pro) for example it checks for the specific releases for this model the app is running on.
In the case of the Pixel 8 Pro it fetches for example the following urls:

https://releases.grapheneos.org/husky-stable
https://releases.grapheneos.org/husky-beta
https://releases.grapheneos.org/husky-alpha

and parses the release number from each request and shows it in the according box.

Would be great if someone could verify that android.os.Build.BOARD really gives the right model name 😄

Thanks. We'll get around to looking at this soon.

It does currently, but is not guaranteed to be set to the required value for future devices. android.os.Build.DEVICE is the right variable to check for this use-case AFAIK.

Thank you 🙂 I have changed it to this variable
