├── AppManager.java
//this is what helps us track the app-by-app torification
//and gets the app name, icon, etc for display - we have some problems here
//in normalizing the icon on the list label
//some of this code came originally from DroidWall project (yay open source)
├── boot
│ └── OnbootBroadcastReceiver.java
//i think this is a dup now and should be removed
├── HiddenServiceManager.java
//empty! but at some point i thought it would be good to aggregate HS functions here
├── OnBootReceiver.java
//this is the class registered in AndroidManifest.xml to handle Onboot events
//to start Orbot/Tor when the device boots if the user has elected to do so - what kind of permissions does this require?
// <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
// BTW, this shows up as a fairly unintrusive type perm request now in Android / in older versions (1.6 and earlier)
// it was reported "as read / monitor phone state" and paranoid Tor-types didn't like the idea of it
// in 1.6+ it has a much better UX in terms of having a more granular permisions around boot since it is a very
// common request - ah , that's awesome, i think i remember seeing sth of this sorts when i was going through the guardianproject mailing list. iirc this is something ioerror wanted
├── Orbot.java
//our wonderful main activity!
├── ProcessSettingsAsyncTask.java
//this was just added in 1.0.5.x, but it was meant to help stop the UI blocking while processing settings and prefs
//it uses the AsyncTask feature of Android, which seems to work pretty well
//for this type of non-time critical function you just want to happen in the background at some point soon-ish
├── SettingsPreferences.java
// Settings activity that loads the res/xml/preferences.xml resource up
// has some custom event handlng, onActivityResult callback result code's as well
// basically meant to tell Orbot activity if critical settings have been modified and whether
// those new settings should be applied (like iptables/transproxy changes)
├── TorConstants.java
// globals! well, constants! but yeah, just a place to put values we use a lot
├── TorifiedApp.java
// object to store a single app's metadata for display in UI and for transproxy process
├── Utils.java
// random methods that can be useful, a.k.a. another place to put stuff
├── WizardActivity.java
// our original attempt at wizard activity that didn't get far
└── WizardHelper.java
// the helper class that manages the dialog based wizard
├── service //okay the Service subpackage!
│ ├── Api.java
//this is more code taken from DroidWall, that needs to be cleaned up and paired down to just what we need it for
//this is related to 1.0.5.x changes with how we bundle and install our C binaries (tor, privoxy and iptables)
│ ├── ITorService.aidl
// the android remote interface definition file;
// this is the remote interface which the Orbot activity gets a reference to
// and that in the TorService is instantiated as the "binder"
│ ├── ITorServiceCallback.aidl
// this is the callback interface that the Orbot activity instantiates, and passes
// to the ITorService; reverse of ITorService in a sense
│ ├── TorBinaryInstaller.java
// this handles installation of binaries; uses Api.java; // tied into Wizard as well
│ ├── TorServiceConstants.java
// reusable constants for just the Service package
│ ├── TorService.java
// the main might powerful service class; Orbot and TorService are the front and backends of this whole app
// should run as a remote service, but the manifest doesn't seem to indicate that at the moment
│ ├── TorServiceUtils.java
//utility methods for the service; specificaly check for root and tools for finding processID of background binaries
│ └── TorTransProxy.java
// all the code for iptables transproxying management
