AccountActivity is full screen, so the swipe spinner was appearing very
close to the top system bar. Adjust the spinner's top margin to avoid
the system bar, and have it scale in/out so it doesn't appear to slide
out from an invisible barrier.
Previous code didn't trigger the transition from `ViewMediaActivity`
when playing a video until the video had loaded. If the connection was
slow or had other issues this resulted in the video "sticking" in the
timeline until it loaded.
Change this, and trigger the transition immediately.
Fixes#598
While looking at this:
- Save the play/pause state of the video during a swipe, pause the
video, and restore the state when the swipe is cancelled.
- Transition the entire video view, to improve the animated transition
back to the activity.
- Remove the custom progress spinner, use the one provided by the
player.
- Display the player controller via the layout XML instead of code
The previous code didn't set a limit for the number of posts, links, and
hashtags to fetch on the trending pages, so used the conservative
defaults.
Increase these to the API maximums to show the user more information.
The PageCache implementation wasn't properly dealing with timelines that
could return statuses in non-chronological order.
For example, if you bookmark a recent status, then go back in the
timeline and bookmark an older status; the bookmarks timeline is ordered
by the time of the bookmark event, not the creation time of the status
that was bookmarked.
If a sufficiently old status was bookmarked so it straddled a page
boundary you could have a situation where the range of status IDs in two
different cached pages overlapped.
E.g., this log extract:
```
0: k: 110912736679636090, prev: 3521487, next: 3057175, size: 40, range: 112219564107059218..110912736679636090
1: k: 111651744569170291, prev: 3049659, next: 2710596, size: 40, range: 111926741634665808..111651744569170291
```
The range of IDs in page 0 overlaps with the range of IDs in page 1.
The previous `PageCache` assumed this couldn't happen, and broke in
various interesting ways when it did.
E.g., you can't find the page that contains a given status by looking
for the largest key less than the needle's status id. Given the pages
above looking for ID 112219564107059218 (first status in page 0) would
suggest page 1 as having the greatest key less than that ID. This
manifested as the correct page briefly appearing in the UI (page 0),
then being completely replaced with page 1.
Rewrite PageCache to fix this. The previous implementation used a single
`TreeMap` assuming items were always sorted by ID. The new code keeps an
unordered map from status IDs to the page that contains that status, and
a separate `LinkedList` that contains the pages in order they're
provided by the API. This decouples the ordering of pages in the cache
with the overall ordering of items within the pages.
https://github.com/pachli/pachli-android/pull/589 changed the initial
setting of the action bar title to use `binding.mainToolbar.title`
instead of `supportActionBar?.title`.
Not sure why, but this doesn't work on first use, and was showing
"Pachli Current" until the user changes tabs. Swap one usage back to
`supportActionBar?.title` to fix this, and update the other to do the
same thing to keep the code consistent.
Use `unicodeWrap` when inserting placeholders in error messages so they
set the correct text direction.
Update some strings with formatting directives to (a) include `_fmt`
in the name, and (b) use `%1$s` instead of `%s`.
The compose button isn't initially working on `MainActivity`. It is only
properly setup after changing tabs.
Fix by calling `MainActivity.refreshComposeButtonState(TabViewData)` on
creation.
Previously, modifying any tabs meant opening the left-side nav, opening
Account preferences > Tabs, and then adding / removing tabs. This is
time consuming, and difficult for new users to discover.
In addition, it was possible to remove the Home tab, and there was a
hardcoded minimum of at least two tabs.
Fix this.
When viewing a timeline that is not already in a tab an "Add to tab"
menu item is enabled, which appends the timeline to the list of existing
tabs.
When viewing a timeline in a tab (that is not the Home timeline) a
"Remove tab" menu item is enabled, which removes the tab from the list
of existing tabs.
If the user removes the active tab (either with this menu item, or
through preferences) the tab to the left of the active tab becomes the
new active tab.
A new "Manage tabs" menu item is also provided, as a shortcut to the
existing Account preferences > Tabs screen.
When managing tabs the Home timeline can not be removed; the button to
remove it is removed, and swiping is disabled on that list item. The
restriction of "at least two tabs" has also been removed.
`NotificationsActivity` has been removed, as `TimelineActivity` can
display `NotificationsFragment`.
To make the three "Trending" types (hashtags, links, and posts) more
visually distinct add two new icons for links (ic_newspaper) and posts
(ic_whatshot).
Fixes#572, #584, #585, #569
Mastodon API uses an "empty" `expires_in` value for a filter to mean
"Does not expire" (i.e., indefinite).
This was modelled as a null. Which doesn't work, because Retrofit does
not send name/value pairs in encoded forms if the value is null.
Fix this by making the API type a `String?`, and explicitly using the
empty string when indefinite expiry is used. This has to be converted
back to an Int? in a few places.

https://github.com/mastodon/documentation/issues/1216#issuecomment-2030222940
Previous code was inconsistent about how and when the FAB was hidden if
the user had set the relevant preference.
- Sometimes the FAB has hidden by setting the visibility to false, which
removed it with no animation.
- Sometimes the value of the preference was checked once, when the
fragment or activity was created.
- Some timelines didn't show the FAB (Hashtags, Favourites, Bookmarks,
TrendingLinks, TrendingStatuses).
- Logic for figuring out which `ComposeActivity` intent to use was
scattered across different files.
Improve this by:
- Expose changes to the `FAB_HIDE` preference in the relevant viewmodels
as a flow the UI component can collect.
- Centralise the show/hide logic in a new `ActionButtonScrollListener`
class, and always using `show()`/`hide()` to animate the transition.
- Centralise the logic for creating the `ComposeActivity` intent in
`TabViewData`.
`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.
Workaround a Glide bug where the error() handler is not always called,
in this case when the URL does not resolve to an image; for example, a
misconfigured server that redirects requests for the image to an HTML
page.
Catch the exception and use the default avatar image in these cases.
Previous code would handle some expected exceptions (IO, HTTP) when
fetching a timeline, and show them to the user. Any other exception
would crash.
Now, surface all exceptions. Treat IO and HTTP exceptions as retryable
and show the "Retry" option, all others are considered non-retryable.
Provide a specific error string for exceptions caused by bad JSON.
Previous code used custom regular expressions to extract URLs, hashtags,
and mentions from text while the user was writing a post. These were
inconsistent with the ones that Mastodon uses so the derived character
count could be wrong.
As well as being visually incorrect this could prevent the user from
posting a status that was within the length limit, or allow them to
attempt to post a status that was over the length limit (which would
then fail).
Fix this by dropping the homegrown regular expressions and using the
same text parsing library that Mastodon users; twitter-text. This has
been converted to Kotlin and the functionality related to Twitter
specific features has been removed.
The hashtag handling has been adjusted, as Mastodon is more permissive
about the positions where hashtags can appear than Twitter is, in
particular, a hashtag does not need to be preceded with whitespace if
the tag appears after some scripts, such as Hirigana.
The previous bottomsheets did set a minimum height for the menu items,
so they were less than the recommended 48dp minimum. Fix that to improve
the overall accessibility.
Always highlight the "visibilty" icon, to make it clear that it's
something that is set (even if to the default).
Show the visibility icon on the "Toot" button as an additional reminder
to the user.
Other changes:
- Use the "filled" style for all icons (the visibility icons had the
"outlined" style)
- Use the `makeIcon` helper function.
- Use the `Status.Visibility` extension functions to determine the icon
for each visibility type, reducing code duplication.
Show a labelled checkbox to the bottom-right of polls that the user has
not voted in and that have votes. If checked the current vote tally (as
percentages) will be shown, along with a bar showing the relative value
of each option.
Previous code expected callers to typically provide the drawable and the
error message string resource, resulting in duplicate code at many
callsites.
Replace with three canned messages for empty containers, generic errors,
and network errors respectively. The images for these are fixed, the
caller may choose a different string resource for the error if there is
a more specific option.
Update and simplify the call sites.
Move `ListsActivity`, along with fragments and viewmodels, to a new
`feature:lists` module.
Previous code used the `item_follow_request` layout, which was not
ideal, so update it to use a dedicated layout, `item_account_in_list`.
The UI uses strings and views originally defined in the main app, so
move them elsewhere so they can be re-used.
- `BackgroundMessageView` moves to `core.ui`.
- `Lazy` moves to `core.common`.
- `ThrowableExtensions` split; the extensions specific to throwables
from network activity move to `core.network`, others move to `core.ui`.
- `BindingHolder` moves to `core.ui`
- Shared drawables and strings move to `core.ui`.
For reasons not fully understood the root of a fragment's view might not
have relevant view from the activity set as its parent. This causes
`Snackbar.make()` to throw an exception, and crash.
See https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/228215869.
For now, "fix" this by swallowing the exception. Not showing the error
is better than crashing.
The replies policy controls whether replies from members of the list
also appear in the list.
Display the replies policy as three radio buttons when a list is created
or updated, and send the chosen replies policy via the API.
Default value if not specified is always "list", for consistency with
the Mastodon API defaults.
While I'm here:
- Ensure the list dialog layout is inflated using the dialog's themed
context
- Use a `TextInputLayout` wrapper around the list name in the list
dialog for better UX
- Simplify the dialog layout, use LinearLayout, and standard padding and
margins
Modify `ListsViewModel` to keep track of the number of active network
operations and export as a flow. Collect this in `ListsActivity` and
show a `LinearProgressIndicator` while it is non-zero.
Previous code would prune any cached media every time `MainActivity` was
created, causing extra IO just as the user is trying to use the app.
Re-implement as a WorkManager worker so it can run when the device is
idle, without interfering with the responsiveness of the device.
Previous code used a normal ProgressBar and a coroutine to delay
hiding/showing the bar for a snappier UI perception.
This is built-in functionality in LinearProgressIndicator, so switch to
that.
While I'm here, implement the "Select list" dialog's layout as a layout
resource.
If the user has tabs containing one or more lists, and any of those
lists are renamed or deleted then the change should be reflected in the
tabs.
To do that:
`MainActivity`:
- Re-create tabs whenever lists are loaded and there's a list in a tab
- Compare lists-in-tabs by the ID of the list when restoring the user's
tab, so that a list rename doesn't lose their position.
`NetworkListsRepository`:
- Update the user's tab preferences whenever lists are loaded, removing
tabs that contain lists that have been deleted, and updating the
list's title for lists that have been renamed.
