Friendica can return a null `voted_on` property, in violation of the API
spec.
Introduce a `BooleanIfNull` annotation that will convert the `null` to
`false` if encountered.
While I'm here update the other adapters as classes on their relevant
annotations instead of standalone classes to keep the code consistent.
Fixes#455
Some users report that Pachli is not retrieving/displaying notifications
in a timely fashion.
To assist in diagnosing these errors, provide an additional set of tabs
on the "About" screen that contain information about how Pachli is
fetching notifications, and if not, why not.
Allow the user to save notification related logs and other details to a
file that can be attached to an e-mail or bug report.
Recording data:
- Provide a `NotificationConfig` singleton with properties to record
different aspects of the notification configuration. Update these
properties as different notification actions occur.
- Store logs in a `LogEntryEntity` table. Log events of interest with a
new `Timber` `LogEntryTree` that is planted in all cases.
- Add `PruneLogEntryEntityWorker` to trim saved logs to the last 48
hours.
Display:
- Add a `NotificationFragment` to `AboutActivity`. It hosts two other
fragments in tabs to show details from `NotificationConfig` and the
relevant logs, as well as controls for interacting with them.
Bug fixes:
- Filter out notifications with a null tag when processing active
notifications, prevents an NPE crash
Other changes:
- Log more details when errors occur so the bug reports are more helpful
The `x` and `y` properties in `Attachment.Focus` may be null (not
documented as such, but observed in the wild).
Provide a `DefaultIfNull` adapter that can be applied to these to
replace null values with a sensible default.
The previous code didn't clear the task stack or recreate `MainActivity`
when the active user was changed.
So if the user was logged in with account A and used "Compose" from a
notification sent to account B, the active account was switched to B but
the UI chrome wasn't. After exiting `ComposeActivity` they would be
looking at the timeline for account B but with a toolbar that showed
account A.
Fix this by clearing the task stack and explicitly recreating
`MainActivity` when forwarding intents to `ComposeActivity`.
- Use format strings so any overhead of building the string is only
incurred if the message is actually logged
- Pass throwables as the first parameter so they are logged with the
stacktrace
Moshi is faster to decode JSON at runtime, is actively maintained, has a
smaller memory and method footprint, and a slightly smaller APK size.
Moshi also correctly creates default constructor arguments instead of
leaving them null, which was a source of `NullPointerExceptions` when
using Gson.
The conversion broadly consisted of:
- Adding `@JsonClass(generateAdapter = true)` to data classes that
marshall to/from JSON.
- Replacing `@SerializedName(value = ...)` with `@Json(name = ...)`.
- Replacing Gson instances with Moshi in Retrofit, Hilt, and tests.
- Using Moshi adapters to marshall to/from JSON instead of Gson `toJson`
/ `fromJson`.
- Deleting `Rfc3339DateJsonAdapter` and related code, and using the
equivalent adapter bundled with Moshi.
- Rewriting `GuardedBooleanAdapter` as a more generic `GuardedAdapter`.
- Deleting unused ProGuard rules; Moshi generates adapters using code
generation, not runtime reflection.
The conversion surfaced some bugs which have been fixed.
- Not all audio attachments have attachment size metadata. Don't show
the attachment preview if the metadata is missing.
- Some `throwable` were not being logged correctly.
- The wrong type was being used when parsing the response when sending a
scheduled status.
- Exceptions other than `HttpException` or `IoException` would also
cause a status to be resent. If there's a JSON error parsing a response
the status would be repeatedly sent.
- In tests strings containing error responses were not valid JSON.
- Workaround Mastodon a bug and ensure `filter.keywords` is populated,

Previously, `AboutActivity` had buttons and links to show the privacy
policy and licenses of dependencies.
Change this to a selection of fragments in tabs, one tab each for:
- General "About" information
- Licenses
- Privacy Policy
The information shown hasn't changed, but this lays the groundwork for
including additional tabs in the future for information like server
rules, detected capabilities, or troubleshooting information.
Release builds normally strip out all logging to reduce the number of
disk writes and reduce UI jank.
These logs would still be useful in user error reports from orange
builds. To preseve them:
- Implement a simple `RingBuffer`.
- Create `TreeRing`, a `Timber` `Tree` logger that logs to a
`RingBuffer` instance in orange release builds.
- Create `TreeRingCollector`, called when ACRA reports are generated,
which includes the contents of the ring buffer in the report.
- Enable desugaring to allow the use of java.time libraries on older
Android versions.
- Disable ProGuard obfuscation of class names as the obfuscation adds
additional de-obfuscation steps when handling error reports from users.
