A large commit that moves the artefactdatasqlhelper 'stuff' into a content provider so we can set upa content observer and listen for content changes. This is significant in the cleanliness of the artefacts .. an uninstall and reinstall will be required.

Also split the Utils class into Sync and Account Util classes so it's a bit more focused (easier to know where to look etc).

The 2nd last commit with UI changes for help/introduction changes moved about some of the list-adapter set-up which didn't work to well adjusting to changes in the list. These are now fixed.

There is still issues in th ArtefactSettingsActivity when thumbnails are added. The UI does not adjust tofit them it properly.

Also make some changes to the strings to make things more obvious.

   - Help text to be included.
2. Fixed a NPE bug in the httpclient if a space or similar exists in the post URI
3. Adjusted the onActivityResult method to support attaching multiple files

Resolved issues with camera - if the intent is null just use the imageUri created when the camera intent was raised (some phones don't populkate correctly so you have to remember it :(...)

Fixed syncing notifications by having the sync API return the time() from server so we don't rely on handset knowning server time , etc, etc. Also added the sync.time to preferences for debugging purposes.

Also fixed the 'bug' where if we 'write' a journal if no default journal pick the first journal.

Still remains issue of server time - I believe solution will be to get the server to respond with it's time which can be recorded as last sync time. The device time is not relevant.

Fixed a sync bug - the notifications needed a count not trim to see if any existed. That bug must have been around for a bit.

Also added a couple ot Util methods to perform account stuff getAccount and deleteAccount. We now also delete the old account if any authentication details have changed. Also the sync process has some new logging and the order (if not noticed from last commit) has reverted back to sync then upload - I found a bug with the token changing midway through a bunch of uploads (may need to check how frequently the pref value is checked if a sync happens mid upload).

Also after some testing have got the periodic sync functionality working again.

Some bug fixes around the default folder (Utils + TransferService), removed some null code from the sync adapter and authenticator activity and simplified my stub for forced sync (which may be removed as it might not be needed).

Reworked some of the application preferences and made some small refactoring changes as a result (moving methods to Utils to get base url and upload/sync built properly).

Also improved thumbnail, added default - changed way the default is shown (not on details -I think that is OK).
Also fixed the intent handling by adding some mimetype setDataAndType .. pretty nasty how you have to
find the mime-type and set the filter for each possible type .. doesn't seem to be a better way .. oh well - best efforts
for our supported content (see Manifest activity filters).

Working around the main UI redraw with a default intent on notification to reload it and setting the activity as singleTop in Manifest.

Also found some basic boundary 'null' case bugs for image gallery - should now be resolved (i.e. no image in post ;).

With the last commit - moved to an actual gallery. Also as we're nearing stable we've set debug / verbose off by default now

- Some tweaks to the Artefact Settings UI (renaming the layout)
- A first cut of a gallery to show images being worked on the Artefacts Settings UI

Starting working on artefact_settings screen showing the attached files (not operational but worthy of a commit)

Made some changes to the artefact settings UI as raised in a review with Kristina. Also made a bit of sense of the Camera/Gallery stuff on the settings page so you canchange the image.

Removed unneeded libraries.
Closed cursors.

Also added support for thumbnails on the list view - still to add to the details view also.

Another big round of changes ticking off much of the Journal extras (is draft, allow comments) handling.
As a result quite a few UI changes to accommodate these fields.

Also fixes a few bug (but probably also introduces a few more. Much more robust getting closer to a final
test release candidate.

A lot of additonal internal fiddling - we're getting closer to the desired end result but there is still some refactoring to do.
TODO:
1) our Artefact object will become an Upload object (name only really).
2) the files / attachments should be visable on the upload/post settings UI
3) on the back-end upload API sie - check for a Journal post with the same title and description. If one exists - attach the additional file and move on. Saves creating lots of duplicate (looking) journal posts
4) add the Journal name to the main UI (consider also adding an icon for file or compose so the type can be easily seen)
5) review the add / delete philosophy of the sync adapter - may be an easy solution - check for existing, etc and add and remove those not seen.
6) testing - especially the sync of saved posts but also from startup - if auth success trigger a sync etc.
7) review useof notifications - seem very noisey if lots of uploads are done.

Time to move onto the journal posts and UI ..

Much refactoring/clean-up required once everthing calms down .. just pushing in functionality at the moment.

ve the contentprovider / Manifest set-up working finally .. curors responding with data and loading (beta) into ListPreferences .. enabling users to choose a default from sync'ed data.

Next will be showing sync'ed data on the upload form (mainly a journal spinner). Then we can focus back on extending the Mahara upload api to support journals.

The MaharaProvider (ContentProvider) is working in basic mode .. we now have sync data in out db.
The sync data is currently being delete each timeand not treated kindly but that's to fix.

We can now move our attention to the UI.

Basic back-end Mahara sync API completed - the threadedsyncadapter raises notifications for activity on the JSON as a test.

Actual changes for previous post (issues 16, 17 and 18 + Japanese language support). User git issues again.

Added new button state to provide a disabled look to buttons when they are disabled (styles useful here).

Also fixes for issues 16, 17 and 18.
