Chooser dialog could start before any accounts have loaded. Fix by
collecting the account flow and waiting for the first emission (convert
the flow to shared instead of state so there's no initial empty list).
Guard against the potential for a similar issue when fetching
notifications.
Order the list of accounts with active account first so that code that
skips it by ignoring the first item works correctly.
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 "Suggested accounts" API returns dormant accounts. See this bug
report: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/30674.
That's bad UX, so filter out any account that hasn't posted in the last
28 days.
Fixes#1029
Previous code assumed the active account could always be determined from
the account manager.
This causes a few problems.
1. The account manager has to handle the case where there is no active
account (e.g., the user is logging out of the last account). This meant
the `activeAccount` property had to be nullable, so every consumer of
that property either used it with a `let` or `!!` expression.
2. The active account can change over the life of the UI component, for
example, when the user is switching accounts. There's a theoretical race
condition where the UI component has started an operation for one
account, then the account changes and the network authentication code
uses the new account.
3. All operations assume they operate on whatever the active account is,
making it difficult to provide any features that allow the user to
temporarily operate as another account ("Boost as...", etc).
This "ambient account" was effectively global mutable state, with all
the problems that can cause.
Start to fix this. The changes in this commit do not fix the problem
completely, but they are some progress.
Each activity (except LoginActivity) is expected to be launched with an
intent that includes the ID of the Pachli account it defaults to
operating with. This is `pachliAccountId`, and is the *database ID*
(not the server ID) of the account. This is non-null, which removes one
class of bugs.
This account is passed to each fragment and any piece of code that has
to perform an operation on behalf of this account. It's not used in
most of those places yet, that will be done over a number of followup
PRs as part of modernising each module.
Previous code didn't encode v2 filter keywords, so created v2 filters by
first creating the filter with no keywords (one API call) then making
1-N API calls to add each keyword to the filter.
Fix this by adding a dedicated converter for the `NewContentFilter` type
that encodes it correctly so the filter can be created with a single API
call.
This necessitates moving some types around,
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.
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.
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`.
Implement suggestions as a new `feature:suggestions` module, with
associated activity, fragment, etc.
Suggested accounts are shown with their normal information, as well as
information about the number of follows / followers, and a guide to
posting frequency, so the user can make a more informed decision about
whether to follow or not.
In the previous code `PachliError` could correctly chain errors and
generate error messages, `ApiError` didn't, which is why there was the
temporary `ApiError.fmt()` extension function.
Rewrite `ApiError` to implement `PachliError` so it gets these benefits
and to reduce the number of different error-handling mechanisms in the
code.
Main changes:
- `PachliError` is now an interface so it can be extended by other
error interfaces.
- All the `ApiError` subclasses implement `PachliError`, and can
specify the error string and interpolated variables at the point of
declaration.
- Update `ListsRepository` and `ServerRepository` to return
`PachliError` subclasses.
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.
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
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.
Fixes#192
Previously to view a list the user either had to add it to a tab, or tap
through "Lists" in the navigation menu to their list of lists, and then
tap the list they want.
Fix that, and show all their lists in a dedicated section in the menu,
with a new "Manage lists" entry that's functionality identical to the
old "Lists" entry (i.e., it shows their lists and allows them to create,
delete, and edit list settings).
To do that:
- Implement a proper `ListsRepository` as the single source of truth for
list implementation throughout the app. Expose the current list of lists
as a flow, with methods to perform operations on the lists.
- Collect the `ListsRepository` flow in `MainActivity` and use that to
populate the menu and update it whenever the user's lists change.
- Rewrite the activities and fragments that manipulate lists to use
`ListRepository`.
- Always show error snackbars when list operations fail. In particular,
the HTTP code and error are always shown.
- Delete the custom `Either` implementation, it's no longer used.
- Add types for modelling API responses and errors, `ApiResponse` and
`ApiError` respectively. The response includes the headers as well as
the body, so it can replace the use of `NetworkResult` and `Response`.
The actual result of the operation is expected to be carried in a
`com.github.michaelbull.result.Result` type. Implement a Retrofit call
adapter for these types.
Unit tests for these borrow heavily from
https://github.com/connyduck/networkresult-calladapter
Additional user-visible changes:
- Add an accessible "Refresh" menu item to `ListsActivity`.
- Adding a list to a tab has a dialog with a "Manage lists" option.
Previously that would close the dialog when clicked, so the user had to
re-open it on returning from list management. Now the dialog stays open.
- The soft keyboard automatically opens when creating or editing a list.
Once desugaring is enabled it needs to be enabled for up/down the
dependency chain, so enable it in the shared configuration defined by
the build convention code.
Highlighted a failing test that wasn't being run, so fix that too.
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.
- 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
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`.
