Narrate is a beautiful and functional open source journal for Android

This PR restore the working development environment which was broken due to changes in Parse API, Dropbox API and Google's maven repository since 2016.

Changes :

• Make project compile.
• Remove Parse API because they are not hosting it anymore.
• Upgrade Dropbox to latest API.

What still not working :

• Google sync.
• Photos sync. (Format changes might need to be discuss. It's quite hard to implement)
• Entries deletion. (Probably introduced in this PR.)
• And maybe Analytic too.

To make it work with FireBase you should create an App in https://console.firebase.google.com Also the app was using ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().getInstallationId() as a deviceID. So now instead of this we should implement the deviceID manually and save it on SharedPreferences or in database. After that the GoogleDriveSyncService and MyFirebaseMessagingService needs to be updated with the new deviceID .

It's all in the dev-parse-replace branch

When I'm in the landscape-mode and slide between the different tabs, the "new entry"-pencil remains blue and the other pencils just slide under it. That doesn't happen in the normal mode.

Previously when I closed the app it would lock and I'd have to enter my passcode to reopen. Now the journal just unlocks automatically upon clicking the app icon. The settings seen to be right, this feature just isn't working.

If you tap the red underline on a misspelled word, the text of the alternatives dialog is very dark and on a dark grey background. It should be white or something light so it's more readable and clear. Check out the picture; it should get the point across more clearly.

Dropbox is changing something in their API that is going to cause Narrate to stop working on September 28. This is the email I got today:

On September 28, 2017, we’ll be making some changes to Dropbox that will likely affect the following 3rd party apps linked to your Dropbox account: Narrate. You’re receiving this email because you’ve used these apps at least once within the past month.

While we’ve informed all developers about our upcoming changes, the developers for the apps listed above have yet to update their apps accordingly. If they don’t update their apps before September 28, these apps will no longer be able to access Dropbox. That said, any data already saved in Dropbox won’t be affected and will still be accessible from our official web, mobile, and desktop clients.

As a recent user of these apps, we recommend you take the following actions:

• Review how you use these apps, especially if you use them to access Dropbox
• If you rely on these apps to store data in Dropbox, we suggest exporting or backing up any data from these apps before the September 28 deadline.

We understand changes like these can be inconvenient. We hope that the recommendations above help you plan accordingly. If you have any questions about these apps, please contact the apps through their support channels.

The Dropbox Team

Thank you for your efforts! There are some minor issues (Version 2.4.0 on Android 6.0.1):

• Sometimes the calendar in the main page starts from January 1900.
• Sometimes when the calendar is selected, it shows under the calendar a note of the current month, sometimes it doesn't show nothing. It would be nice to see the list of all the notes of the selected month.
• Writing a note, the last row of the note (the current one is writing on) sometimes is at the level of the keyboard and is partially hidden by the lower toolbar. One must tap and move up the note in order to see the last row.
• When the notes are showed, the first line break in the note is not visible: one sees the paragraphs joined and there is a line break visible only when we have multiple line breaks. In editing mode, all is ok. Is it an intended behavior?
• Sometimes, after saving long notes, the upper toolbar of the application gets a transparent background and the buttons are not visible until one taps on the note and moves it (the upper toolbar return with the correct background).

I like Narrate, and the intention of this request is to be intended as constructive.

In some cases Narrate loses the current note and is impossible to recover it:

• When a note is not yet saved and one hits the "back to list" arrow located top-left, the note is lost (or, the changes made and not saved are lost). In my opinion the application should advise the user (if someone want to delete the note, there is the trash button).

• The same behavior occurs when one hit the "Back" button on the phone.

• When in a note someone hit the geolocalization button and there is no immediate response from the GPS (e.g. because it is turned off), if the "Home" button of the phone is hit, the note is irredeemably lost (in the other conditions the note is correctly maintained in its state)
