The new anti-harassment features will add several different types of
filtering options through the UI.
To ensure there is no confusion, rename the existing "Filters" UI and
code to "Content filters" to accurately describe what they operate on,
distinct from new filters which will act on account metadata.
Fixes#926.
Previously, tapping a tab would jump to the top of the loaded content,
which might trigger a load of a fresh page.
Provide a preference to control this; the default is the current
behaviour, the user can also choose to discard the current content and
load the newest content.
Fixes#939
Update `DownloadUrlUseCase` with a parameter to specify the account that
"owns" the media. This is either the account that posted the status, or
the account being viewed (e.g., if downloading an account's header
image).
Add a new `DownloadLocation` enum constant to download to directories
named after that account.
Pass this information through at the call sites.
Fixes#938
Provde an `appTheme` property in `SharedPreferenceRepository` to manage
read access, simplifying calling code.
Update `PreferenceEnum.from` to check the `value` property of the enum
first.
Fixes#950
The existing code downloaded any attachments to the user's "Downloads"
folder. If the user is logged in with several accounts these downloads
will be mixed up together.
Fix this by adding a new preference that allows the user to specify the
downloads should be placed in a sub-folder per account, named after the
account.
To do this:
- Add an interface for enums that can be used as preferences, with
properties for the string resource to display and the value to store.
- Add `EnumListPreference`, a `ListPreference` that allows the user to
choose between different enum values.
- Add a `DownloadLocation` enum and preference key so the user can
choose the location.
- Add a `core.domain` module, with a use case for downloading URLs that
respect's the user's download preference. Use this use-case everywhere
that files are currently downloaded.
Fixes#938
Previous code showed any JSON-wrapped errors from notification fetches
as the JSON string, instead of the error message.
Fix this by switching to `ApiResult` and using the formatted error
message.
Fixes 937
Previous code used `Response`. Convert to `ApiResult` as part of the
work to implement anti-harassment controls, which will need to query the
user's list of accounts they are following.
Converting just `accountFollowing` wasn't practical, as all the methods
are called by a single function in `AccountListFragment` which expects
the return type to be the same.
veganism.social is doing something weird that injects statuses into the
user's timeline that are missing the fields that are normally present on
authenticated statuses.
So far I've noticed:
- `reblogged`
- `favourited`
- `bookmarked`
on the top level `Status` are missing, and if the status contains a poll
the `voted` field is also missing.
Cover up this breakage by setting defaults for these fields.
Previous code didn't set the textDirection for the status content, so
the first para of RTL text might be rendered incorrectly.
In addition, mentions and tags weren't BIDI wrapped, so would appear as
"foo@" and "foo#" in RTL statuses, instead of "@foo" and "#foo".
Fix both of these issues.
Fixes#870
Two problems with the previous code when search filters were visible:
1. The link icon overrode the tint, so didn't appear correctly in dark
and black mode.
2. The horizontal scroll view had the wrong background colour in black
mode.
Fix both, by updating the icon and adding a new style for the scroll
view.
While I'm here remove an obsolete comment and tighten up visibility.
Fixes#875
Clean up the notification handling code and fix a lot of bugs, hopefully
without introducing new ones in the process.
Specific bugs discovered and fixed:
- The code that tried to sync notification filtering state between the
server and Pachli could fail, leaving things in an inconsistent state,
resulting in dropped notifications. Remove that code, do filtering
client-side.
- Logging out of an account would disable push notifications for all
accounts.
- If any account did not support push notifications then push
notifications were disabled for all accounts.
- If any account did not support push notifications the user was
prompted to log out of all accounts. Drop that entirely.
- The UnifiedPush library could get to a state where configuring the
notification mechanism would silently fail,
The preferences UI now has a section for notifications, showing:
- The Unified Push distributor in use (if any)
- A mechanism to change the distributor
- Per-account configuration and notification fetch details
- Battery optimisation state
General changes:
- Update to UnifiedPush library 2.4.0.
- NotificationFetcher.fetchAndShow() can now fetch a single account's
notifications, or all accounts, depending on data passed to the worker.
- Use ApiResult for `push/subscription` responses.
- Drop the "needs migration" terminology for the more specific "has push
scope", to make it clear what the issue with the account is.
Add a new set of preferences, "Lab experiments", to control features
that are under investigation and may never make it into the mainstream.
Add the first experimental feature, which reverses the order of the home
timeline, so posts are shown oldest first instead of newest first.
The `canFilter()` implementation could crash if `server` (marked
`lateinit`) hadn't been initialised at the point of use.
Fix this by removing it and adjusting the two callers to use the
`filters` flow and take appropriate action on error.
Default to hiding the search operators, and provide a new toolbar icon
(always visible) to show them.
The toolbar icon is displayed with a badge if any operators are present.
Adjust the operator display to three horizontal scrolling rows, to
further limit the maximum amount of vertical space the operators use.
Mastodon supports in-query search operators, such as `has:image`,
`language:en`, or `in:library`. Previously the user had to enter them in
to the query directly.
This provides a chip-based UI that allows the user to set values for
these operators.
## Server
- Add new search capabilities to record the faceted search features the
server reports.
- Update definitions for Mastodon, Friendica, and GoToSocial to specify
which versions of the operations they support.
## SearchOperator / SearchOperatorViewData
- Represents each supported operator and associated viewdata.
## SearchActivity / activity_search.xml
- Conditionally display a chip for each facet depending on the server's
level of support.
- Implement the UI for each chip. They display dialogs of varying levels
of complexity depending on the underlying operation.
## FragmentSearch
- Display the progress as a LinearProgressIndicator instead of an
indeterminate ProgressBar. This makes it more visible under the search
facets.
The Glitch fork reports the same version number as stock Mastodon and is
supposed to have the same baseline capabilities as stock Mastodon at
that version number.
RadioButton and CheckBox color the selected radio button or check box
using `colorPrimary`. For some reason Material dialogs don't, and use
`colorSecondary` for this (and only this), which leads to visual
inconstencices through the app.
Fix this by setting `colorSecondary` to `colorPrimary` to force it.
Previously, if a status was filtered with "WARN" and was shown in the
timeline with the name of the filter, and the user then decided to
change
that filter, they had to:
1. Open the left navigation menu
2. Navigate to "Account preferences"
3. Open "Filters"
4. Find the filter they want to edit, tap it
5. Make the change, and save
6. "Back" to the list of filters
7. "Back" to "Account preferences"
8. "Back" to the timeline
That's a lot of clicks for a simple action.
Change this. Now the filtered status includes an "Edit filter" button
that takes the user directly to step 5, and when they press "Back" they
return directly to the timeline.
To do this create a new filter action, `onEditFilterById`. Update the
listeners to launch `EditFilterActivity` if appropriate.
Modify `item_status_filtered.xml` to show the new button.
Update the accessibility delegate to show just the "Show anyway" and
"Edit filter" actions. Modify `FilterableStatusViewHolder` to expose
the information it needs to do this.
The previous code had a number of problems, including:
- Calls to the filters API were scattered through UI and viewmodel code.
- Repeated places where the differences between the v1 and v2 Mastodon
filters API had to be handled.
- UI and viewmodel code using the network filter classes, which tied
them to the API implementation.
- Error handling was inconsistent.
Fix this.
## FiltersRepository
- All filter management now goes through `FiltersRepository`.
- `FiltersRepository` exposes the current set of filters as a
`StateFlow`, and automatically updates it when the current server
changes or any changes to filters are made. This makes
`FilterChangeEvent` obsolete.
- Other operations on filters are exposed through `FiltersRepository` as
functions for viewmodels to call.
- Within the bulk of the app a new `Filter` class is used to represent a
filter; handling the differences between the v1 and v2 APIs is
encapsulated in `FiltersRepository`.
- Represent errors when handling filters as subclasses of `PachliError`,
and use `Result<V, E>` throughout, including using `ApiResult` for all
filter API results.
- Provide different types to distinguish between new-and-unsaved
filters, new-and-unsaved keywords, and in-progress edits to filters.
## Editing filters
- Accept an optional complete filter, or filter ID, as parameters in the
intent that launches `EditFilterActivity`. Pass those to the viewmodel
using assisted injection so the viewmodel has the info immediately.
- In the viewmodel use a new `FilterViewData` type to model the data
used to display and edit the filter.
- Start using the UiSuccess/UiError model. Refrain from cutting over to
full the action implementation as that would be a much larger change.
- Use `FiltersRepository` instead of making any API calls directly.
## Listing filters
- Use `FiltersRepository` instead of making any API calls directly.
## EventHub
- Remove `FilterChangedEvent`. Update everywhere that used it to use the
flow from `FiltersRepository`.
