[apps/android/wikipedia@master] Record all the accessed date for an article

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/439776

@RHo Just to clarify... If I navigate to the same article multiple times in one day, do we want to show all of those accesses in the history for that day? Or should we still show a single history item for that article on that day? (i.e. let the articles be duplicated across different days, but not within the same day)

[ one of these is much more difficult than the other ;) ]

Hey @Dbrant - showing all access instances would be preferred if we take into account we eventually want to show history with source and view paths similar to T189348 on iOS. Having said that, we can put that off till we actually do that update if it is easier on this ticket to show a single instance per date.

Showing all access instances is actually the easier one, but then it would create a rather cluttered experience, since we would show duplicate entries without any kind of differentiation. For example, a duplicate entry would be created if the user swipes to refresh an article, or if they navigate to a link and then go back from it, or indeed if they navigate to an article from the History screen itself, and so on.

Oh, well in that case did you want to start with implementing this show all access instances update first and I can create a ticket for showing the source of access as icons in a follow up ticket? Else I can pop a mock together tmrw and do that as the same ticket if it's an easy/small update.

It would probably be better to do this in the same ticket. Cooltey has a patch that enables all access instances, but without the differentiating source icons, it makes the whole thing look more like a bug than a feature.
