Friendica can return a null `voted_on` property, in violation of the API
spec.
Introduce a `BooleanIfNull` annotation that will convert the `null` to
`false` if encountered.
While I'm here update the other adapters as classes on their relevant
annotations instead of standalone classes to keep the code consistent.
Fixes#455
Some users report that Pachli is not retrieving/displaying notifications
in a timely fashion.
To assist in diagnosing these errors, provide an additional set of tabs
on the "About" screen that contain information about how Pachli is
fetching notifications, and if not, why not.
Allow the user to save notification related logs and other details to a
file that can be attached to an e-mail or bug report.
Recording data:
- Provide a `NotificationConfig` singleton with properties to record
different aspects of the notification configuration. Update these
properties as different notification actions occur.
- Store logs in a `LogEntryEntity` table. Log events of interest with a
new `Timber` `LogEntryTree` that is planted in all cases.
- Add `PruneLogEntryEntityWorker` to trim saved logs to the last 48
hours.
Display:
- Add a `NotificationFragment` to `AboutActivity`. It hosts two other
fragments in tabs to show details from `NotificationConfig` and the
relevant logs, as well as controls for interacting with them.
Bug fixes:
- Filter out notifications with a null tag when processing active
notifications, prevents an NPE crash
Other changes:
- Log more details when errors occur so the bug reports are more helpful
The previous code was using a bold version of the default font for
inserted text. So if the user had set a custom font it was being
ignored.
Fix this by creating a bold version of the user's typeface.
Fixes#435
The `x` and `y` properties in `Attachment.Focus` may be null (not
documented as such, but observed in the wild).
Provide a `DefaultIfNull` adapter that can be applied to these to
replace null values with a sensible default.
Content that doesn't start with a block element generates a parse error.
This isn't normally seen from Mastodon servers but is seen from content
from other servers (e.g,. Akkoma), which can generate:
```
<a href="..."> some text
```
instead of:
```
<p><a href="..."> some text</p>
```
Work around this by ensuring that content-to-be-diffed is wrapped in a
`div`.
The previous code didn't clear the task stack or recreate `MainActivity`
when the active user was changed.
So if the user was logged in with account A and used "Compose" from a
notification sent to account B, the active account was switched to B but
the UI chrome wasn't. After exiting `ComposeActivity` they would be
looking at the timeline for account B but with a toolbar that showed
account A.
Fix this by clearing the task stack and explicitly recreating
`MainActivity` when forwarding intents to `ComposeActivity`.
Shortcuts were being updated using `MainActivity.this` as the `Context`
and leaking in `ShortcutManagerCompat`. Use the application context to
fix this.
When the `Notification.Type` enum was moved to a separate module it
resulted in exceptions trying to deserialize the enum:
```
java.lang.RuntimeException: Parcelable encountered ClassNotFoundException reading a Serializable object (name = app.pachli.core.network.model.Notification$Type)
```
This happened in debug builds without Proguard, so not a minification or
renaming issue.
Fix this by providing `putEnum`/`getEnum` extension functions on
`Bundle` that store the enum's ordinal value and restore it from that.
UnifiedPush broadcasts are used to trigger fetching new notifications.
Previously this was a normal one-time work request. Mark it as expedited
to increase the likelihood it will run soon.
- 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
Moshi is faster to decode JSON at runtime, is actively maintained, has a
smaller memory and method footprint, and a slightly smaller APK size.
Moshi also correctly creates default constructor arguments instead of
leaving them null, which was a source of `NullPointerExceptions` when
using Gson.
The conversion broadly consisted of:
- Adding `@JsonClass(generateAdapter = true)` to data classes that
marshall to/from JSON.
- Replacing `@SerializedName(value = ...)` with `@Json(name = ...)`.
- Replacing Gson instances with Moshi in Retrofit, Hilt, and tests.
- Using Moshi adapters to marshall to/from JSON instead of Gson `toJson`
/ `fromJson`.
- Deleting `Rfc3339DateJsonAdapter` and related code, and using the
equivalent adapter bundled with Moshi.
- Rewriting `GuardedBooleanAdapter` as a more generic `GuardedAdapter`.
- Deleting unused ProGuard rules; Moshi generates adapters using code
generation, not runtime reflection.
The conversion surfaced some bugs which have been fixed.
- Not all audio attachments have attachment size metadata. Don't show
the attachment preview if the metadata is missing.
- Some `throwable` were not being logged correctly.
- The wrong type was being used when parsing the response when sending a
scheduled status.
- Exceptions other than `HttpException` or `IoException` would also
cause a status to be resent. If there's a JSON error parsing a response
the status would be repeatedly sent.
- In tests strings containing error responses were not valid JSON.
- Workaround Mastodon a bug and ensure `filter.keywords` is populated,

Previously, `AboutActivity` had buttons and links to show the privacy
policy and licenses of dependencies.
Change this to a selection of fragments in tabs, one tab each for:
- General "About" information
- Licenses
- Privacy Policy
The information shown hasn't changed, but this lays the groundwork for
including additional tabs in the future for information like server
rules, detected capabilities, or troubleshooting information.
Release builds normally strip out all logging to reduce the number of
disk writes and reduce UI jank.
These logs would still be useful in user error reports from orange
builds. To preseve them:
- Implement a simple `RingBuffer`.
- Create `TreeRing`, a `Timber` `Tree` logger that logs to a
`RingBuffer` instance in orange release builds.
- Create `TreeRingCollector`, called when ACRA reports are generated,
which includes the contents of the ring buffer in the report.
- Enable desugaring to allow the use of java.time libraries on older
Android versions.
- Disable ProGuard obfuscation of class names as the obfuscation adds
additional de-obfuscation steps when handling error reports from users.
Getting error reports with logs of strange behaviour is useful even if
the app doesn't crash.
Move crash reporting in to `core.activity`, and provide a menu option
(in orange builds) to trigger a non-fatal crash report that is handled
the same way (i.e., sent by e-mail) as a regular crash report.
`BaseActivity` has to be able to create and handle menus, so adjust
subclasses to call the superclass when necessary.
Update `tools/mvstring` to be able to move strings between different
flavour directories, not just `main`.
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`.
Continue modularisation by moving core activity classes that almost all
activities depende on to a `core.activity` module. This includes
core "helper" classes as well.
Implement core.activity:
- Contains BaseActivity, BottomSheetActivity
- Contains LinkHelper and other utility classes used by activities
Implement core.common.extensions:
- Move ViewBindingExtensions and ViewExtensions here
Implement core.common.util:
- Move BlurHashDecoder and VersionName here
Implement core.designsystem:
- Holds common resources (animations, colours, drawables, etc) used
through the app
- Import "core.designsystem.R as DR" through the app to distinguish
from the module's own resources
Implement feature.login:
- Move the LoginActivity and related code/resources to its own module
Implement tools/mvstring
- Moves string resources (and all translations) from one module to
another
Previous code would show errors when fetching server info but with no
mechanism to retry the operation, so it would "stick" until the user
restarted the app.
Fix this with a retry action.
While I'm here use styles to ensure that all snackbars are 5 lines max
length and remove code that sets the length.
Previously when the user interacted with a status the operation (reblog,
favourite, etc) travels through multiple layers of code, carrying with
it the position of the item in the list that the user operated on.
At some point the status is retrieved from the list using its position
so that the correct status ID can be used in the network operation.
If this happens while the list is also refreshing there's a possible
race condition, and the original status' position may have changed in
the list. Looking up the status by position to determine which status to
perform the action on may cause the action to happen on the wrong
status.
Fix this by passing the status' viewdata to any actions instead of its
position. This includes all the information necessary to make the API
call, so there is no chance of a race.
This is quite an involved change because there are three types of
viewdata:
- `StatusViewData`, used for regular timelines
- `NotificationViewData`, used for notifications, may wrap a status that
can be operated on
- `ConversationViewData`, used for conversations, does wrap a status
The previous code treated them all differently, which is probably why it
operated by position instead of type.
The high level fix is to:
1. Create an interface, `IStatusViewData`, that contains the data
exposed by any viewdata that contains a status.
2. Implement the interface in `StatusViewData`, `NotificationViewData`,
and `ConversationViewData`.
3. Change the code that operates on viewdata (`SFragment`,
`StatusActionListener`, etc) to be generic over anything that implements
`IStatusViewData`.
4. Change the code that handles actions to pass the viewdata instead of
the position.
Fixes#370
Previous code created the drawer image loader as an anonymous inner
class that kept a reference to `glide`, which had a reference to `this`
and could leak.
Fix that by create a separate class that takes these as constructor
parameters.
The previous code incorrectly showed the trending tag usage data twice
next to the end of the trending tag lines, instead of one entry for the
usage data and one entry for the account data.
Fix that.
As part of this fix change how the data is displayed. Instead of using
two distinct `TextView`, fixed to the bottom end of the chart, draw the
text directly on the chart. The text is accurately position so that it
is next to the end of the relevant line. If both lines overlap the label
positions are adjusted appropriately.
The chart now uses Pachli blue and orange for the line colours.
While doing this I discovered that the mechanism used to fall back to
particular chart colours if none were specified was incorrect, so fix
that too.
Previous code could return an error on Friendica version strings like
`2024.03-dev-1547`.
Fix this:
- Extend the list of explicitly supported servers to include Fedibird,
Friendica, Glitch, Hometown, Iceshrimp, Pixelfed, and Sharkey.
- Add version parsing routines for these servers.
- Test the version parsing routines fetching every server and version
seen by Fediverse Observer (~ 2,000 servers) and ensuring that the
server and version information can be parsed.
Improve the error message:
- Show the hostname with a `ServerRepository` error
Clean up the code:
- Remove the custom `resultOf` and `mapResult` functions, they have
equivalents in newer versions of the library (like `runSuspendCatching`)
Fixes#372
The previous code unilaterally enabled filter functionality. Some
Mastodon-like servers -- like GoToSocial -- do not support filters, and
this resulted in user visible error messages when connecting to those
servers.
To fix this:
- Extend the set of supported server capabilities to include client and
server side filtering.
- Disable the filter preferences if the server does not support filters
and show a message explaining why it's disabled.
Extend the capabilities model to support this:
- Fetch server software name and version from the nodeinfo endpoints
(implementing the nodeinfo API and schema)
- Extend the use of kotlin-result to provide hierarchies of Error
classes and demonstrate how to chain errors and display more informative
messages without using exceptions.
Fixes#343
Previously some tests had to manually create dependencies (instead of
injecting them) because the dependency required the `TestScope`
`CoroutineScope` as one of its dependencies.
Resolve this with a `FakeCoroutineScopeModule` that provides `TestScope`
as `@ApplicationScope`. The tests can now inject their dependencies,
which will use `TestScope`.
To inject `AccountPreferenceDataStore` it has been updated to use the
current active account when reading or writing preferences.
