Three loose ends from the last two commits, each of which was named as deliberately-not-done and none of which is worth carrying further. The phone's create-user sheet had no organization picker. The endpoint has taken an `organization` since orgs existed and the Web App has offered the choice all along, so a superadmin on the phone could only ever create accounts in their own org - a silent restriction rather than a stated one. The sheet now loads the orgs and offers them to a superadmin, with the same blank "no organization" option and the same hint as the web. An admin still gets no picker, because the server forces its own org on their members and a picker that cannot change the outcome is a lie. The listing is manager-only and can fail, in which case the picker offers only "no organization" rather than blocking the form. A locked role picker or delete action was greyed out with no reason given. The web has explained itself in a title attribute since those guards existed, and the sentences - admin.cantChangeOwnRole and the rest - have been sitting translated in the phone's own language files since the screen was translated. Hover has no touch equivalent, so the two controls take different routes: a long-press on the role picker shows the reason as a tooltip, and the overflow menu carries it under the action, because a disabled menu item cannot be long-pressed and silently greying it out is the thing being fixed. settings.integrations.* and charging.control.* were English-only in *both* apps - 70 keys, identical text, identical key sets - so they are translated once and land in all four language files. OCPP and CSMS are protocol names and stay; product names (Toyota Connected, MyToyota, Anker Solix, Lexus) stay; everything else follows the wording already in each language's file. The Web App's files are edited as text rather than round-tripped through a JSON dump, because they keep a blank line before every nested block and a dump flattens it - a 900-line translation file is hard enough to read without losing its paragraphs. Both diffs are purely additive as a result. Both apps now have every key in all three languages: 738 in the web, and the phone reports zero fallbacks. A new test locks that in - every key en.json carries must exist in pl.json and da.json - and it was checked by deleting a key and watching it fail, because a guard that cannot fire is not a guard. Verified by flutter analyze (clean), flutter test - 21 pass, 1 of them new - flutter build apk --debug, and npm run build for the Web App. The key checker reports 575 static t() keys in the phone and 738 in the web resolving with no fallbacks in either language. Not verified: still nothing run against a live API Server or on a device. In particular the organization picker's happy path - a superadmin creating an account into a chosen org - has not been exercised end to end; it is the one piece here that touches the API rather than only the language files.

# DriverVault — Phone App (Flutter)
|
||
|
||
A Flutter client for the DriverVault maintenance tracker. Talks **only** to the
|
||
API Server (same contract and auth as the web app — a PocketBase token relayed by
|
||
the server, not a JWT the server mints). At full feature parity with the web app.
|
||
|
||
Project name `drivervault_phone`, package id `com.drivervault.phoneapp`.
|
||
**Android is the supported target** — the older Flutter-web build path is
|
||
deprecated.
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
Once signed in, `RootShell` hosts the app behind a persistent **bottom
|
||
navigation bar** — Garage, Charging, Settings, and Users for admins — in an
|
||
`IndexedStack`, so each section keeps its state as you switch tabs.
|
||
|
||
- **Login** — email/password against `/api/auth/login`, password show/hide, and a
|
||
collapsible **Server settings** section to override the API base URL on-device.
|
||
- **Biometric / face sign-in + app lock** — see the dedicated section below.
|
||
- **Garage (dashboard)** — car list with next-due status badges (date + km,
|
||
worst-of), a "shared" chip on cars owned by someone else, pull-to-refresh and
|
||
an **Add car** FAB.
|
||
- **Car detail** — all spec fields (incl. VIN and transmission / differential /
|
||
brake / coolant specs), a **share** sheet (owner only), quick odometer update,
|
||
edit car, and delete car (type-to-confirm; cascades). Actions are gated by the
|
||
caller's access level (read-only vs write vs owner).
|
||
|
||
**Which tabs a car shows, and in what order, belongs to the car** — the same
|
||
arrangement the web app reads, so everyone it is shared with sees the same
|
||
page. Edit it under the **tune** icon: switch tabs and Information rows on or
|
||
off, and drag either list by its handle to reorder it. (The web rearranges by
|
||
dragging the tab bar itself; on a touch screen that gesture is the tab bar's,
|
||
so both arrangements are made in the picker instead.) Information cannot be
|
||
switched off — a page with no tabs left would be a dead end — but it can be
|
||
moved. The tabs, in their default order:
|
||
- **Connected service** — everything the manufacturer's own app knows about
|
||
this car, read live under *your* account: headline readings (odometer, fuel
|
||
or battery, range, charging state, position), the vehicle record, and one
|
||
card per capability the plugin exposes, rendered from the server's flattened
|
||
key/value pairs so a provider adding a field surfaces it without an app
|
||
change. Offers to take the provider's odometer when it is ahead of the
|
||
stored one. A car with no link yet gets a **connect** card instead, and the
|
||
tab is hidden entirely for a user with no manufacturer account connected.
|
||
Because the read runs under your own credentials, a car shared from someone
|
||
else shows data here only if that vehicle is on your account too — it says
|
||
so rather than failing.
|
||
- **Service history** — date/odometer plus which parts were changed, with the
|
||
next-due date/km derived by the server.
|
||
- **Technical check history** — the mandatory roadworthiness inspections
|
||
(przegląd techniczny, MOT, TÜV). Result, cost, station, and the certificate's
|
||
valid-until, which overrides the car's interval when present. A failed check
|
||
derives no next date.
|
||
- **Maintenance** — workshop visits and repairs outside the routine schedule:
|
||
type/status, workshop, parts used, labour + parts cost, invoice number and a
|
||
warranty-until badge.
|
||
- **Fuel** — refills with a summary panel (average / best / worst consumption,
|
||
cost per km, price per litre). Consumption is measured between full tanks, so
|
||
partial fills roll into the next full one and a flagged missed fill leaves its
|
||
window uncomputed rather than reporting a fictional figure.
|
||
- **Charging cost** — charges with a summary panel (average / best / worst
|
||
kWh/100km, cost per km, price per kWh). The electric twin of Fuel, and
|
||
derived the same way: consumption is measured between full charges, so a
|
||
top-up rolls into the next full one. Distinct from the **Charging** section
|
||
in the bottom bar, which is the charger network and OCPP control.
|
||
- **Documents** — insurance, registration, road tax and the rest, with a
|
||
renewal badge driven by the server's expiry assessment.
|
||
- **Parts catalog** — the per-car parts list.
|
||
- **Reminders** — date- and/or odometer-triggered, one-off or recurring, with a
|
||
**Mark done** action. Reminders the server derived from a document or service
|
||
record are shown read-only.
|
||
- **Attachments** — one optional file per service record, technical check,
|
||
workshop visit, refill, charge, document and part (PDF or image, up to 10MB). Picked
|
||
with `file_picker`, fetched back through the API Server — never a public URL —
|
||
and opened with the phone's own viewer via `open_filex`.
|
||
- **Charging** — mirrors the web `Charging.vue`, split into two tabs. **Public**
|
||
is a discovery map with a demo session and nearby stations: presentational
|
||
placeholders, because there is no public-charging API yet (same as the web).
|
||
**Home** carries the one real piece — an OCPP control card that drives your
|
||
own charger through the Anker Solix control endpoints, once you pick Own/Proxy
|
||
CSMS under Settings → Integrations.
|
||
- **Settings** — account (name / email verification / password), appearance
|
||
(theme + dark mode, **language**, **region**, date format, **currency**, font
|
||
size), profile (avatar via `image_picker`, bio), **integrations** (Toyota,
|
||
Anker Solix), **Security** (biometric toggle), **Organization** (create your
|
||
own — which makes you its admin — or rename/delete the one you administer),
|
||
**data export/import**, and the account-deletion state machine. Export writes
|
||
the account JSON into the app's own documents directory and offers to open it;
|
||
import picks a previously exported file and always creates new records, so it
|
||
asks first, with the number of cars the file actually holds. Auth relays PocketBase's own stateless
|
||
tokens, so there is no per-device session list to show or revoke.
|
||
- **Users (admin)** — user management tab (list / create / role / reset password
|
||
/ delete), shown only for the admin role. A blocked control says why rather
|
||
than only greying out: long-press a locked role picker, and the overflow menu
|
||
carries the reason under the action. Superadmins also choose which
|
||
organization a new account lands in (or none at all); an admin gets no picker,
|
||
because the server puts their members in their own organization regardless.
|
||
|
||
Sharing/ownership: `Car.access` drives `isOwner` / `canWrite` / `isReadOnly`
|
||
getters that gate the UI, mirroring the server's access checks.
|
||
|
||
## Language, region & currency
|
||
|
||
Language and region are two pickers over the one stored BCP-47 tag (`en-US`), so
|
||
the pair can be mixed — English in Poland, say. Currency is display-only: nothing
|
||
is converted, so changing it reinterprets existing amounts rather than
|
||
recalculating them. All three lists mirror the API's (`validCurrencies` and the
|
||
locale pattern in `internal/api/me.go`), with two deliberate differences from the
|
||
web app:
|
||
|
||
- **Luxembourgish (`lb`) and Romansh (`rm`) are not offered.** `intl` ships no
|
||
date/number symbols for them and *throws* rather than falling back, which would
|
||
take out every date on screen. The browser has full ICU data behind it and has
|
||
no such limit, so the web app can list them.
|
||
- **Labels are hand-kept** (endonyms for languages, English for regions and
|
||
currencies) because Dart has no `Intl.DisplayNames`.
|
||
|
||
Because the server only validates a locale's *shape* (`^[a-z]{2}-[A-Z]{2}$`), a
|
||
tag the phone cannot render can still arrive from the web. `format.dart` resolves
|
||
through a supported-language check and falls back to `en-US` instead of throwing;
|
||
`test/models_format_test.dart` covers it.
|
||
|
||
Every screen reads its text from the language files, and `flutter test` fails if
|
||
a key exists in English but not in Polish or Danish. See
|
||
[TRANSLATIONS.md](../TRANSLATIONS.md).
|
||
|
||
## Biometric / face sign-in & app lock
|
||
|
||
Fingerprint and face-recognition sign-in via `local_auth`, with credentials kept
|
||
in Android Keystore–backed secure storage (`flutter_secure_storage`).
|
||
|
||
- After a successful password login the app offers to **enable biometric login**;
|
||
the entered (known-good) credentials are stored securely.
|
||
- The login screen then shows **"Sign in with face recognition / fingerprint"**
|
||
buttons (labels reflect the enrolled biometric kinds) and auto-prompts once.
|
||
On success the stored credentials are replayed against the normal login API, so
|
||
each biometric sign-in mints a fresh session. Stale credentials (e.g. after a
|
||
password change) auto-disable biometric login.
|
||
- **App lock** — the token persists, so a valid session normally restores silently.
|
||
When biometric login is enabled the app instead starts **locked** (and re-locks
|
||
when backgrounded) and shows a lock screen requiring a biometric unlock. A
|
||
**30-second grace period** means quick app-switches don't re-lock; a full app
|
||
close (process kill) always locks on next launch. "Use password instead" on the
|
||
lock screen logs out and returns to the login form.
|
||
- Manage it under **Settings → Security** (enabling re-confirms the password).
|
||
|
||
Android host requirements (already configured, don't revert):
|
||
`MainActivity` extends **`FlutterFragmentActivity`** (required by `local_auth`),
|
||
and `AndroidManifest.xml` declares `android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC`.
|
||
|
||
## Configure the API endpoint
|
||
|
||
The app talks to `kDefaultApiBase` (see `lib/config.dart`), default
|
||
`http://localhost:8080/api`. Override at build time with `--dart-define`, or at
|
||
runtime from the login screen's **Server settings** (persisted as `cc_server_url`).
|
||
|
||
## Run & build
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
flutter pub get
|
||
|
||
# run on a connected device against a LAN server
|
||
flutter run -d <device> --dart-define=API_BASE=http://10.2.1.101:8080/api
|
||
|
||
# build a debug APK for a real phone on the LAN
|
||
flutter build apk --debug --dart-define=API_BASE=http://10.2.1.101:8080/api
|
||
adb install -r build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-debug.apk
|
||
adb shell monkey -p com.drivervault.phoneapp -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Notes:
|
||
- `android/gradle.properties` sets `kotlin.incremental=false` — required because
|
||
the project lives on drive `E:` while Gradle/Kotlin caches are on `C:` (the
|
||
incremental compiler can't compute cross-root relative paths on Windows).
|
||
- `AndroidManifest.xml` sets `android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"` because the API
|
||
base is a plain-HTTP LAN URL.
|
||
- The API Server must be running and reachable at the configured URL.
