164-164: 🛠️ Refactor suggestionPassword strength indicator not localized
The "Password Strength" text in the PasswordStrengthIndicator component should use a string resource for localization instead of a hardcoded string.
- text = "Password Strength", + text = stringResource(id = R.string.password_strength),You'll need to add this string resource to strings.xml.

165-177: 🛠️ Refactor suggestionConsider using string resources for info card text
The hardcoded text "Select a backup format below to import your credentials" should be moved to a string resource for localization.
- text = "Select a backup format below to import your credentials", + text = stringResource(id = R.string.select_backup_format),You'll need to add this string resource to strings.xml.

133-134: Consider the implications of upgrading to an alpha release.Upgrading to Material3 1.4.0-alpha14 provides access to newer UI components like flexible top app bars that support the UI improvements in this PR. However, alpha releases may have API changes in future releases or potential stability issues.
If this is for production, ensure you've thoroughly tested the UI components from this alpha release. Consider adding a comment documenting why this specific version was chosen to help future maintainers understand the decision.
app/src/main/java/com/yogeshpaliyal/keypass/ui/nav/NavigationModel.kt (1)
15-30: Consider removing commented code or adding documentationThe commented-out navigation items with an empty mutable list suggests this is part of a refactoring to use a more dynamic navigation system. Since these items are likely managed elsewhere now (by
BottomNavViewModelaccording to the summary), consider:
- Removing the commented code entirely
- Adding a comment explaining how navigation items are now managed
- Making the list private if it's only meant to be modified internally
- var navigationMenuItems = mutableListOf<NavMenuItem>( -// NavigationModelItem.NavMenuItem( -// id = HOME, -// icon = R.drawable.ic_twotone_home_24, -// titleRes = R.string.home, -// checked = false, -// action = NavigationAction(HomeState(), true) -// ), -// NavigationModelItem.NavMenuItem( -// id = GENERATE_PASSWORD, -// icon = R.drawable.ic_twotone_vpn_key_24, -// titleRes = R.string.generate_password, -// checked = false, -// action = IntentNavigation.GeneratePassword -// ) - ) + // Navigation items are now dynamically managed by BottomNavViewModel + private var navigationMenuItems = mutableListOf<NavMenuItem>()app/src/main/java/com/yogeshpaliyal/keypass/ui/nav/components/NavMenuFolder.kt (1)
20-40: Simplification is good, but verify styling and remove commentsReplacing the custom clickable Box with TextButton simplifies the code and follows Material Design patterns. However:
- The old implementation had explicit padding (16.dp) and fillMaxWidth, which are now missing
- TextButton might have different default styling than your custom implementation
Also, consider removing the commented code rather than keeping it in the codebase.
TextButton(onClick) { Text( text = folder.tag, style = MaterialTheme.typography.titleMedium ) } -// Box( -// modifier = Modifier -// .clickable( -// interactionSource = remember { MutableInteractionSource() }, -// indication = rememberRipple( -// bounded = true -// ), -// onClick = onClick -// ) -// .padding(16.dp) -// .fillMaxWidth(1f) -// -// ) { -// -// }app/src/main/java/com/yogeshpaliyal/keypass/MyApplication.kt (2)
20-22: Improved method naming for clarityRenaming to
knownActivityLaunchTriggeredmakes the purpose of this method clearer. It now explicitly indicates that it's tracking intentional/known activity launches rather than any activity launch.Consider adding a KDoc comment to explain what constitutes a "known" activity launch and when this method should be called:
+ /** + * Call this method before launching a known/expected activity to prevent + * the app from considering it as an unexpected navigation when the activity returns. + */ fun knownActivityLaunchTriggered() { timeToLaunchActivity = SystemClock.uptimeMillis() }
24-28: Improved method naming for consistencyRenaming to
isKnownActivityLaunchTriggeredmaintains consistency with the companion method and makes its purpose clearer.Consider adding a KDoc comment to explain the purpose of this check:
+ /** + * Checks if a known/expected activity was launched within the last second. + * Returns true if an activity was launched via knownActivityLaunchTriggered() and + * less than 1 second has passed. + */ fun isKnownActivityLaunchTriggered() : Boolean { val mTimeToLaunchActivity = timeToLaunchActivity ?: return false timeToLaunchActivity = null return SystemClock.uptimeMillis() - mTimeToLaunchActivity < 1000 }app/src/main/java/com/yogeshpaliyal/keypass/ui/nav/components/NavItem.kt (1)
25-41: Good simplification using TextButtonUsing TextButton to wrap the Row instead of manually implementing clickable behavior is a good simplification that:
- Reduces boilerplate code
- Improves consistency with Material Design patterns
- Uses built-in ripple effects and accessibility features
The content structure remains the same, maintaining visual consistency while improving the implementation.
If the old implementation had custom ripple or interaction handling that's important to preserve, you may need to add those customizations to the TextButton. Otherwise, this refactoring looks good.
app/src/main/java/com/yogeshpaliyal/keypass/ui/passwordHint/PasswordHintScreen.kt (1)
211-247: Consider extracting dialog text to string resourcesWhile the dialog implementation is good, consider extracting the hardcoded strings like "Password Hint Tips" and the bullet points to string resources for better localization support.
app/src/main/java/com/yogeshpaliyal/keypass/ui/detail/components/BottomBar.kt (1)
38-90: Migrated from BottomAppBar to LargeFlexibleTopAppBar.This change aligns with the app's UI refactoring to use top app bars consistently. The implementation provides a dynamic title based on account state and preserves all the previous action functionality.
However, consider renaming the composable from
BottomBartoTopBarorDetailTopBarto better reflect its new implementation, as the current name could cause confusion for other developers.app/src/main/java/com/yogeshpaliyal/keypass/ui/about/AboutScreen.kt (1)
129-136: Remove commented-out code.Instead of commenting out the app name text, consider removing it entirely since the title is now displayed in the top app bar. Commented code can lead to confusion and maintenance issues.
-// // App Name -// Text( -// text = stringResource(id = R.string.app_name), -// style = MaterialTheme.typography.headlineMedium, -// fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold, -// color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.primary -// )app/src/main/java/com/yogeshpaliyal/keypass/ui/commonComponents/DefaultTopAppBar.kt (1)
1-62: Well-implemented reusable top app bar componentThis new component implements a flexible top app bar with appropriate customization options:
- Configurable title and subtitle
- Optional back button with proper navigation handling
- Support for scroll behavior
- Proper theming with Material design colors
The code is well-structured with clear parameter naming and good use of Redux for navigation actions.
One optimization to consider:
- LargeFlexibleTopAppBar(modifier = modifier, scrollBehavior = scrollBehavior, subtitle = { + LargeFlexibleTopAppBar( + modifier = modifier, + scrollBehavior = scrollBehavior, + subtitle = {Formatting the parameters vertically would improve readability, especially for the longer parameter list.
app/src/main/java/com/yogeshpaliyal/keypass/ui/backupsImport/BackupImporter.kt (1)
131-134: Simplify lambda syntaxSmall code style improvement opportunity to simplify this lambda chain.
- state.selectedImported?.readFileGetAction(result)?.let { it1 -> - isLoading = false - dispatchAction(it1) - } + state.selectedImported?.readFileGetAction(result)?.let { action -> + isLoading = false + dispatchAction(action) + }

208-213: Consistent card styling applied to developer section card.The flat card styling with surfaceContainerLow has been correctly applied to this card as well, maintaining consistency throughout the screen.
app/src/main/java/com/yogeshpaliyal/keypass/ui/nav/components/KeyPassBottomBar.kt (6)
4-8: Updated imports for Material3 components and navigation.The switch from rounded to outlined icons creates a more modern look, and the addition of IconToggleButton supports the new selected state functionality. The BottomNavViewModel integration enables better state management.
Also applies to: 12-14, 17-18, 22-25, 27-28
38-43: Improved ViewModel injection and state observation.Now accepting the ViewModel as a parameter and observing its navigation list as state, which is a better approach than creating or obtaining the ViewModel inside the composable. This improves testability and follows dependency injection best practices.
49-61: Enhanced home button with toggle state.Replaced a standard IconButton with an IconToggleButton that reflects the current screen state. The visual feedback when on the home screen improves user experience by clearly indicating the current location.
63-71: Added dedicated password generation button.The new password generation button provides direct access to this functionality without needing to navigate through menus, improving usability.
73-83: Conditional menu button based on navigation items.This is a good optimization - only showing the menu button when there are actually items to display improves UI clarity.
85-96: Enhanced settings button with toggle state.Similar to the home button, this toggle behavior provides better visual feedback about the current screen.
