Continue the work to remove the "activeAccount" idiom.
- Uses a new PachliAccount type through most of the app. This holds
information that was previously accessed separately (e.g., content
filters, lists) in one place. The information is loaded when the app
launches or the active account switches.
- Fetching data when the account is switched / loaded simplifies error
handling, as more code can now assume the data has already been loaded.
If it hasn't the code path is simply unreachable.
- This opens up the possibility of "acting as one account while logged
in as another". E.g., have two accounts, and be logged in to one account
and boost a post you've seen from your other account.
- Add a database migration to populate existing accounts with default
data when the user updates the app.
- Refactor code that used those list and filter repositories to get the
data from the PachliAccount instead. New local and remote data sources
are implemented, and the list and filter repositories mediate between
those sources.
- Start a ViewModel for MainActivity, which includes:
- Sending user actions as UiAction objects
- Providing a flow of uiState for MainActivity to react to
- Remove most uses of SharedPreferencesRepository from MainActivity
- Show messages about errors that occur when logging in
- Refactor intent routing in MainActivity to make the logic clearer.
- Add new `core.data` types to push more `core.network` types out of the
UI code
- `core.data.model.MastodonList` for `core.network.model.MastoList`
- `core.data.model.Server` for `core.network.model.Server`
- Continue the work to send the Pachli account ID to the code that uses
it.
- Most view models now get the account ID via assisted injection.
- QueuedMedia now includes the AccountEntity so it can operate with any
account. Modify the `uploadMedia` API call to include explicit
authentication details.

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`.
Crash was occuring because the instance info hadn't been fetched, trying
to take the last item of an empty list.
To fix:
- Expose the instance info as a state flow, with a default. New instance
info is fetched whenever the active account changes.
- Do the same for the emojis supported by the server.
- Update call sites as appropriate.
- Mark `InstanceInfoRepository` as `@Singleton` so it isn't repeatedly
created causing fresh content fetches.
The tests needed updating to get this to work.
- Extract the network fake modules in to a network-test module so
multiple other modules can use them.
- Rewrite `InstanceInfoRepositoryTest` to use Hilt and use Turbine to
test the new flows.
Checking this showed cosmetic bugs in the About layout when instance
info is missing, clean those up.
`TabData` recorded the type of the timeline the user had added to a tab.
`TimelineKind` is another type that records general information about
configured timelines, with identical properties.
There's no need for both, so remove `TabData` and use `TimelineKind` in
its place.
`TimelineKind` is itself mis-named; it's not just the timeline's kind
but also holds data necessary to display that timeline (e.g., the list
ID if it's a `.UserList`, or the hashtags if it's a `.Hashtags`) so
rename to `Timeline` to better reflect its usage. Move it to a new
`core.model` module.
Many servers that claim to be Mastodon-API compatible are not, as
evidenced by the content they include in the responses to
`/api/v1/instance` and `/api/v2/instance` requests.
Work around the worst of the breakage by providing defaults or marking
some fields as nullable (with a default null).
Bugs have been reported against the relevant projects.
Continue modularisation by moving activities in the "About" feature to a
new `feature.about` module.
Implement `feature.about:
- Move `AboutActivity`, `LicenseActivity`, and `PrivacyPolicyActivity`
here.
- Update `markdown2resource` plugin to work with libraries
Implement `core.data`:
- Types and repositories used through the app
- Move `InstanceInfo` and `InstanceInfoRepository` here so they are
available to `feature.about`.
Implement `core.ui`:
- App-specific views, spans, and other UI content
- Move `ClickableSpanTextView` and `NoUnderlineURLSpan` here so they are
available to `feature.about`.
