====== Next Gen SimpleTrack ======

Capture ideas of a rework/refactor of SimpleTrack. The goals of a refactoring are to eliminate known errors and deficiencies of the current version of SimpleTrack (V 1.2.X).

**Goals:**
  * Simply code base over 1.2
  * Reduce Android OS events preventing sending of positions
  * Work with latest OS for power and schedule reasons

**Design Axioms:**
  * Minimize computation
  * Minimize network connections, work with scheduler, consolidate to single server connection
  * All pending work stored in SQLite, points to upload will be in file. 
  * Vehicles/Projects in SQLite (to support drop downs)
  * User credentials in SQLite
  * User preferences in shared preferences
  * All data in app private storage (uninstall removes everything)
    * Use Firebase cloud storage to simplify configuration, all same google log in?
  * UI ONLY sets values in DB/Shared Prefs, all business logic in service.
  * Target Android 5 (Lollipo 22) as minimum usable SDK.

**Items to do:**
  * All core functionality enclosed in an Android Service
    * Collection of locations and upload of same
    * Collection of gpsstat and upload of same
    * Download vehicle save as local config
    * Download of application controls configuration
    * Service with work with proper OS scheduling of uploads and other work
  * Refactor to remove
    * Cycle-line and associated statistics calculations
    * Simplify configuration controls to only drive application - no project support
    * Remove AGTEK_Lib from build of ST
    * Complete migration from Crashlytics to Firebase
