Phone-Link Project Tasks

📱 Mobile Application (Flutter / Android)

  • Notification Listener Service: Implement Android platform channels or integrate a plugin (e.g., notification_listener_service) to intercept incoming phone notifications.
  • Permissions Management: Add logic to request necessary Android permissions (Notification Access, Internet, Local Network).
  • Network Service Discovery (NSD): Implement local network scanning using the nsd package to discover the Qt desktop application.
  • Network Communication Client: Set up a TCP or WebSocket client to securely transmit intercepted notification data to the desktop.
  • State Management: Configure the provider package to manage connection status, discovered desktop devices, and active settings.
  • UI/UX Implementation: Replace the default Flutter counter app with the actual Phone-Link dashboard, including connection controls and settings via shared_preferences.
  • Testing: Remove the default boilerplate test/widget_test.dart and write valid unit/widget tests for the core networking and UI logic.

💻 Desktop Application (Qt / C++)

  • Project Setup: Initialize the C++/Qt project for the desktop host application.
  • NSD Broadcasting: Implement a service to broadcast the desktop's presence on the local network so the Flutter app can discover it.
  • Socket Server: Create a TCP or WebSocket server in Qt to listen for incoming connections and notification payloads from the phone.
  • Native Desktop Notifications: Parse incoming notification payloads and display them using Qt's native system tray or notification APIs (QSystemTrayIcon / QNotification).
  • Desktop UI: Create a system tray menu and a dashboard for managing paired devices and notification preferences.

🔗 Core Integration & Security

  • Define Communication Protocol: Design a standardized JSON schema for notification payloads (e.g., App Name, Title, Content, Icon).
  • Pairing Mechanism: Implement a secure pairing flow (e.g., PIN matching or QR code scanning) to ensure the phone only sends data to the trusted laptop.
  • End-to-End Encryption: Encrypt the socket communication over the local network to protect sensitive notification data.
  • Background Execution: Ensure the Flutter app can run in the background on Android to continuously monitor notifications when the app is closed.
  • Error Handling & Reconnection: Add robust handling for network drops, Wi-Fi disconnections (using connectivity_plus), and automatic reconnections.
