Use deep links to let the user open 5calls.org pages in the Android app.

Users could go directly to the issues page if they get a link to a particular issue. This would allow them to log calls within the app so that all their call stats are in one place.

Low priority.

@nickoneill Curious what you think of this.

I am really into this! Planning on doing something similar on iOS as well so I'm glad we can support on both platforms. I'm not completely familiar with the experience on android, I will try to find an app that implements this to check it out on my tablet.

Cool! How do you plan to handle issues that are no longer active -- is there a way for apps to load up that JSON anyway? (How are these handled on the site?)

[nickoneill]

We refresh all the issues and check to see if the issue you navigated to is in that list. Otherwise, we show a "this isn't isn't relevant anymore" message like here: https://5calls.org/issue/asd (also, whoops, I guess we have to fix that email link).

I can pretty quickly wire up something that will return a single issue for an issue id if that is easier for you, but we don't want people calling about these issues that are no longer active so we'd have to remove the contacts section at the very least.

The MailTo on that sample page is empty, and raw HTML is exposed

This should be detected, and when there is a missing field, an error raised, and the MailTo supressed, in page generation

I am not immediately sure how to attach a screen shot so I placed one at:
