Add a dependency on ACRA (in orange builds only), and catch crashes.
The user is given the option to e-mail the crash report data to the
support address, and can view and edit/redact the data before doing so.
Mastodon counts post lengths by considering emojis to be single
characters, no matter how many unicode code points they are composed of.
So "😜" has length 1.
Pachli was using `String.length`, which considers "😜" as length 2.
Correct the calculation by using a BreakIterator to count the characters
in the string, which treats multi-character emojis as a length 1.
Poll options had a similar problem, exacerbated by the Mastodon web UI
also having the same problem, see
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/28336.
Fix that by creating `MastodonLengthFilter`, an `InputFilter` that does
the right thing for regular text that may contain emojis.
See also https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/pull/4152, which has the fix
for status length but not polls.

Roles for the logged in user appeared in Mastodon 4.0.0 and can be
displayed on the user's profile screen.
Show them as chips, adjusting the display of the existing "Follows you"
and "Bot" indicators to make allowances for this.
Roles can have a custom colour assigned by the server admin. This is
blended with the app colour so it is not too jarring in the display.

Quoting @connyduck in https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/pull/4150:
"""
The transformation ends up in Glide's memory cache and leaks whole
Activities through the view -> context reference.
This fixes the problem by removing the background detection logic (so
the view reference is no longer needed) and setting the background
directly instead. Looks exactly as before.

The previous code generally started an activity by having the activity
provide a method in a companion object that returns the relevant intent,
possibly taking additional parameters that will be included in the
intent as extras.
E.g., if A wants to start B, B provides the method that returns the
intent that starts B.
This introduces a dependency between A and B.
This is worse if B also wants to start A.
For example, if A is `StatusListActivity` and B is`ViewThreadActivity`.
The user might click a status in `StatusListActivity` to view the
thread, starting `ViewThreadActivity`. But from the thread they might
click a hashtag to view the list of statuses with that hashtag. Now
`StatusListActivity` and `ViewThreadActivity` have a circular
dependency.
Even if that doesn't happen the dependency means that any changes to B
will trigger a rebuild of A, even if the changes to B are not relevant.
Break this dependency by adding a `:core:navigation` module with an
`app.pachli.core.navigation` package that contains `Intent` subclasses
that should be used instead. The `quadrant` plugin is used to generate
constants that can be used to launch activities by name instead of by
class, breaking the dependency chain.
The plugin uses the `Activity` names from the manifest, so when an
activity is moved in the future the constant will automatically update
to reflect the new package name.
If the activity's intent requires specific extras those are passed via
the constructor, with companion object methods to extract them from the
intent.
Using the intent classes from this package is enforced by a lint
`IntentDetector` which will warn if any intents are created using a
class literal.
See #291
The package wasn't renamed when it was moved, so was still
`app.pachli.components.timeline`, instead of the new location,
`app.pachli.core.network.model`.
The existing code base is a single monolithic module. This is relatively
simple to configure, but many of the tasks to compile the module and
produce the final app have to run in series.
This is unnecessarily slow.
This change starts to split the code in to multiple modules, which are:
- :core:account - AccountManager, to break a dependency cycle
- :core:common - low level types or utilities used in many other modules
- :core:database - database types, DAOs, and DI infrastructure
- :core:network - network types, API definitions, and DI infrastructure
- :core:preferences - shared preferences definitions and DI
infrastructure
- :core:testing - fakes and rules used across different modules
Benchmarking with gradle-profiler shows a ~ 17% reduction in incremental
build times after an ABI change. That will improve further as more code
is moved to modules.
The rough mechanics of the changes are:
- Create the modules, and move existing files in to them. This causes a
lot of churn in import arguments.
- Convert build.gradle files to build.gradle.kts
- Separate out the data required to display a tab (`TabViewData`) from
the data required to configure a tab (`TabData`) to avoid circular
dependencies.
- Abstract the repeated build logic shared between the modules in to
a set of plugins under `build-logic/`, to simplify configuration of
the application and library builds.
- Be explicit that some nullable types are non-null at time of use.
Nullable properties in types imported from modules generally can't be
smart cast to non-null. There's a detailed discussion of why this
restriction exists at
https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/what-is-the-reason-behind-smart-cast-being-impossible-to-perform-when-referenced-class-is-in-another-module/2201.
The changes highlight design problems with the current code, including:
- The main application code is too tightly coupled to the network types
- Too many values are declared unnecessarily nullable
- Dependency cycles between code that make modularisation difficult
Future changes will add more modules.
See #291.
Previous code always called `startActivityAndCollapse()` with a regular
intent, which triggers an `UnsupportedOperationException` at API 34.
Use the non-deprecated variant that uses pending intents when
appropriate.
While looking at this I noticed the icon for the tile was incorrect, so
replaced that with the notification icon.
Show up to two lines of the link's title and three lines of the link's
description in link preview cards. This provides additional useful
context to the user, especially when many links bury the important
information at the end of the title.
Upgrading to this version of Pachli may trigger an Android bug where
cached animation specifications are not cleared, resulting in incorrect
animations (e.g., when navigating between activities).
This is an Android bug triggered by the Android Material library,
https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/issues/3644.
Show the user a dialog (once) when launching after an upgrade, so they
know to restart their device if necessary.
Display the "compose" FAB when viewing a hashtag list. Tapping the
button will open `ComposeActivity` prepopulated with the hashtag at the
end of the post with the cursor at the start.
Fixes#228
Viewing edited statuses could crash on API levels around 26 with a
ResourceNotFoundException. Using `?colorOutline` for the divider colour
instead of `?android:textColorPrimary` fixes this, and is also a better
colour to use.
`Theme.Pachli` was being overriden on v29+ devices which meant that poll
options were showing with too much padding. Fix that by using `AppTheme`
as the final theme, and basing that off `Theme.Pachli`.
Black themes were using dark grey for toolbar and tab backgrounds, so
fix that too for a seamless experience with the black theme.
Not all subclasses were calling `super.onViewCreated()` so collecting
the server capability wasn't happening consistently. Fix this, and add a
`@CallSuper` annotation to prevent the problem from recurring.
Without this the model classes are not retained, which causes a
`ClassCastException` when parsing the new models for the instance v1 and
instance v2 API calls.
Fixes#250
Implement some support for server-side status translation. Do this by:
- Implement support for the `api/v1/instance` endpoint to determine if
the remote server supports translation.
- Create new `ServerCapabilities` to allow the app to query the remote
capabilities in a server-agnostic way. Use this to query if the
remote server supports the Mastodon implementation of server-side
translation
- If translation is supported then show a translate/undo translate
option on the status "..." menu.
- Fetch translated content from the server if requested, and store it
locally as a new Room entity.
- Update displaying a status to check if the translated version
should be displayed; if it should then new code is used to show
translated content, content warning, poll options, and media
descriptions.
- Add a `TextView` to show an "in progress" message while translation
is happening, and to show the translation provider (generally
required by agreements with them).
Partially fixes#62

Now that the flavour includes the store name it's not sufficient to
check for "orange" as the flavour, as that no longer matches. Now it
must start with "orange" to trigger using the git commit count as the
version code.
Users can inadvertently get stuck on older versions of the app; e.g., by
installing from one F-Droid repository that stops hosting the app at
some later time.
Analytics from the Play Store also shows a long tail of users who are,
for some reason, on an older version.
On resuming `MainActivity`, and approximately once per day, check and
see if a newer version of Pachli is available, and prompt the user to
update by going to the relevant install location (Google Play, F-Droid,
or GitHub).
The dialog prompt allows them to ignore this specific version, or
disable all future update notifications. This is also exposed through
the preferences, so the user can adjust it there too.
A different update check method is used for each installation location.
- F-Droid: Use the F-Droid API to query for the newest released version
- GitHub: Use the GitHub API to query for the newest release, and check
the APK filename attached to that release
- Google Play: Use the Play in-app-updates library
(https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore/in-app-updates) to query
for the newest released version
These are kept in different build flavours (source sets), so that e.g.,
the build for the F-Droid store can only query the F-Droid API, the UI
strings are specific to F-Droid, etc. This also ensures that the update
service libraries are specific to that build and do not
"cross-contaminate".
Note that this *does not* update the app, it takes the user to either
the relevant store page (F-Droid, Play) or GitHub release page. The user
must still start the update from that page.
CI configuration is updated to build the different flavours.
