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.
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.
Previous code showed a small icon for account media that the user has
hidden.
Now determine the correct size / aspect ratio for the media and use that
to compute the placeholder (either a blurhash, or the link colour for
consistency with the view on a timeline).
Fixes#513
Previous code showed the toolbar and caption when displaying the image,
and the user has to tap the screen to dismiss it.
New code is consistent with the video viewer; the toolbar and caption
is displayed for two seconds, and then auto-hides.
- Tapping after the hide displays the toolbar and caption, which will
not auto-hide and requires a second tap to dismiss.
- Tapping the caption before it's hidden cancels the auto-hide
Fixes#505
The account logout process could fail due to API exceptions; network
errors for example, or if the user had already revoked the app's token
for that account. This would prevent the rest of the logout process
(cleaning database, etc) from completing.
Fix this by ignoring network errors during the logout process, and
always cleaning up account content in the database.
Fix a related issue where a deleted account might be recreated in a
partial state if the account's visible position was saved after it was
deleted. The recreated account couldn't do anything as it had no tokens,
but is very confusing.
Previously the only way to access notifications was to dedicate a tab to
them. Now notifications are available from the left-side navigation menu
so they're always accessible.
Add them to the top of the list, and swap the order of bookmarks and
favourites, assuming that users are more likely to want to see their
bookmarks than their favourites.
Move "Edit profile" to the bottom with the other settings options,
assuming that editing their profile does not happen very often, so
should not be at the top of the list.
Previously a regular function that created and subscribed to an rxJava
callable, now it's a suspending function that enforces Dispatchers.IO as
the context, launched in its own coroutine.
Previously a regular function launched with an rxJava scheduler, now

New lint rules highlighted a potential crash; the use of named match
groups (used here when extracting server versions) requires API >= 26 or
throws an exception.
Use the group numbers instead of names when extracting the value, but
keep the group names in the regular expressions for readability.
The previous code would share media by either:
a. If it was an image, downloading the image using Glide in to a bitmap,
then recompressing as a PNG, saving, and sharing the resulting file.
b. Otherwise, create a temporary file, enqueue a DownloadManager request
to download the media in to the file, and immediately start sharing,
hoping that the download had completed in time.
Both approaches have problems:
In the "image" case the image was being downloaded (or retrieved from
the Glide cache), decompressed to a bitmap, then recompressed as a PNG.
This uses more memory, and doesn't share the original contents of the
file. E.g., if the original file was a JPEG that's lost (and the PNG
might well be larger than the source image).
In the second case the DownloadManager download is not guaranteed to
have completed (or even started) before the user chooses the share
destination. The destination could receive a partial or even empty file.
Fix both of those cases by always fully downloading the file before
sending the share intent. This guarantees the file is available to
share, and in its original format. Since this uses the same OkHttpClient
as the rest of the app the content is highly likely to be in the OkHttp
cache, so there will no extra network traffic because of this.
The previous code used synchronous (i.e., non-suspending) functions to
call the /api/v2/search and /api/v2/accounts/search endpoints.
This is not necessary as the search was always performed in a separate
thread.
Remove, and replace their usage with the equivalent functions that
suspend.
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.
A filter's context (previously referred to as its `kind`) controls where
the filter is applied.
This was implemented as an enum with a specific property to control how
it would serialise when @FormUrlEncoded, and with a @Json annotation for
Moshi.
In addition, the model objects kept the filter context in its string
form throughout Pachli, requiring periodic conversion to/from the enum
type, making the code more complicated.
Fix this, by:
1. Converting the incoming JSON value to the enum type immediately, so
the rest of the code uses the enum constants exclusively.
2. Implement a Retrofit converter that serialises the enum value when
@FormUrlEncoded to the same string used in JSON serialisation
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.
The `highlighted` property on a role may be absent. If it is this breaks
account parsing, including accounts in an /api/v2/instance response.
This, in turn, breaks determining server capabilities, including whether
or not translation is supported.
Set the default to `true`, which matches observed Mastodon behaviour.
A user is reporting that a refresh is happening in the middle of loading
content, borne out by the existing logs.
Those logs don't say what has triggered the refresh attempt, so add
additional logging whenever a refresh can occur to record what triggered
it.
Previously media on the "Media" tab was displayed scaled and cropped to
a square aspect ratio, effectively forcing the user to tap every image
to see it.
Now, display the images scaled but not cropped, layed out with
`StaggeredGridLayoutManager`. This shows each image in full (still
scaled) providing a better experience when scrolling down.
Scrolling up can occasionally introduce gaps in the grid as images are
re-placed as viewholders are reused. When this happens images animate to
a better position when scrolling stops.
Previous code injected `ApplicationContext`, which is not themed, and
caused a crash if the "update" dialog was shown.
Fix by passing the necesssary context in explicitly when the check is
performed.
Previous code expected all incoming enums values to map directly to
Kotlin enum constants.
This is a problem for servers with additional features -- e.g.,
"reaction" as a notification type.
Fix this with a new Moshi adapter that will set the incoming value to a
given constant if it's not recognised.
Apply this to the enum constants in core.network to ensure they are
handled.
Clean up enum handling in Converters.kt, ComposeViewModel.kt, and
Status.kt by using the existing `.ordinal` property and some extension
functions for idiomatic code.
Fixes#461
Previous code showed a generic placeholder for audio media on the
account's "Media" tab.
Fix this so the preview image is shown (if it's available).
- Move the "is this attachment previewable?" code to `Attachment` so it
can be reused here.
- Restructure the logic in `AccountMediaGridAdapter` to use the new
`isPreviewable()` method when deciding whether to show a preview.
- Attachments have dedicated placeholder drawables, use those when the
preview is not available.
Add an additional preference entry that triggers an update when tapped.
It also displays the earliest time of the next automatic update check as
the preference summary.
Move the code that performs the update check (and the logic for whether
to perform the check) out of `MainActivity` and in to `UpdateCheck` so
it's available from `PreferencesFragment`.
If the user increases the font size the labels for post statistics
(number of replies, etc) can crash in to each other.
To give more space for the text:
- Shrink the label font size
- Move the labels slightly left / tighter to the icon
- Allow the "bookmark" icon to move next to the "more" icon. There's
still 48dp of space for them, and this gives a little more space to the
other icons that have labels
