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.
`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.
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).

Use Timber instead of `android.util.Log`. Removes the need for `TAG`
statics in companion objects, slightly simplifying the code. Opens the
door for some production logging in the future.
Previously the middle-of-screen progress spinner and the spinner that
appears on a swipe-to-refresh could get out of sync.
Fix this by removing the middle-of-screen progress spinner from relevant
fragments, as the swipe-to-refresh spinner shows the user that an
operation is in progress, and also clues them in to the fact that a
swipe-to-refresh is possible (by using the common UX control).
Fixes#75
This previous code could crash if `filterModel.kind` (marked `lateinit`)
had not been set before the filters are loaded. This could happen in
rare cases.
Fix this by rewriting `FilterModel`. Instead of creating a half-empty
object that still needs further initialisation, delay the creation until
all the necessary information is available, and pass it in the
`FilterModel` constructor.
This also forces code that uses `FilterModel` to properly handle the
case where it might be null at the point where filtering decisions have
to be made.
This means that `TimelineViewModel` (and subclasses) no longer need the
`init()` function to complete their construction, which was another
significant code smell. Pass the `TimelineKind` to the view models via
their `SavedStateHandle`.
This showed that changing filters wasn't causing the timelines to update
without a manual refresh, so fix that too. Editing filters sends change
events for the old and new contexts (in case a context is removed from a
filter), and deleting a filter sends a change event too.
Previously, code for handling shared preferences, and how those
preferences affect `StatusDisplayOptions`, was scattered through the
code base with duplicate implementations.
Bring it together in to a `SharedPreferencesRepository` and a
`StatusDisplayOptionsRepository`.
`SharedPreferencesRepository` is a thin wrapper over`SharedPreferences`
that delegates most work to `SharedPreferences`. It configures a
listener for preference changes, and exposes those changes as a flow.
`StatusDisplayOptions` now contains explicit defaults to ensure they
are in one place.
`StatusDisplayOptionsRepository` exposes a `StatusDisplayOptions` flow
that updates whenever the active account changes or a relevant
preference changes.
The viewmodels expose `StatusDisplayOptionsRepository.flow` to the
activities and fragments so they can pass the current value to the
adapter.
This obsoletes `PreferenceChangedEvent`. An event is still fired when
filters change, `FilterChangedEvent`.
This allowed many of the mocks in tests to be replaced with either the
real type (because a fake is injected in to it, or one of its
dependencies) or a custom fake that provides a mock.
Use the Material colour for `conversation_thread_line` (which is
`colorOutlineVariant`) instead of a custom attribute.
Elsewhere, use the Material attribute directly (in code), or replace the
custom divider with a `MaterialDivider`.
This makes some colour definitions unused, so remove them.
Fixes#148
Associated changes:
- Handle new null/non-null type signatures in overriden methods
- Configure Robolectric to use SDK 33 (current highest supported
version)
- Remove `Injectable` interface, use `@AndroidEntryPoint`
- Remove `DispatchingAndroidInjector`
- Remove `viewModelFactory`, use `@HiltViewModel`
- Create providers for the different DAOs, and inject those instead of
`AppDatabase`
- Create provider for a database transaction, inject that instead of
`AppDatabase`
- Update tests
Instead of linking to the privacy policy embed it in the app as a string
of HTML.
The string is created with a new `markdown2resource` plugin, which
converts `PRIVACY.md` to HTML and generates a Java class with the HTML
content.
Create `PrivacyPolicyActivity` to display the HTML in a `WebView`, and
link to it from `AboutActivity`.
The previous code did not always work when the user returned to the app
after a lengthy absence (e.g., overnight).
Instead of restoring by scrolling in `TimelineFragment`, restore by
working with the platform.
Determine the initial page to fetch by looking half a page ahead of the
saved saved status ID, and fetch that status and the page immediately
prior. This seems to match the view's expectations about what will be
immediately available.
Set `jumpThreshold` and `enablePlaceholders` in the `PagingConfig` so
the paging system will jump to the saved status.
Remove the restoration code in `TimelineFragment`.
Fixes#53
Previously the voting button was always enabled, even if the user hadn't
made a choice.
Disable the button by default, and listen for clicks on the options.
Enable the button whenever one or more options are selected.
Fixes#90
In `MediaUploader` the lint warning can be ignored, as the stream is
closed elsewhere.
In the other files `.use` is used to simplify the code and remove
the need for Closeable.closeQuietly (as `.use` catches exceptions that
are thrown when closing).
The previous code only attempted to restore the user's reading position
once, after any initial refresh.
Adjust this so the position is restored after any refresh (which may
have been triggered from a menu instead of a swipe), and use
`scrollToPositionWithOffset` to ensure it's visible.
Switching to the Material 3 themes caused the previous list dividers to
disappear.
Replace `DividerItemDecoration` with `MaterialDividerItemDecoration` to
restore them.
The previous code didn't collect the uiState, so it was fixed at the
default value, ignoring any changes that happened over the life of
the viewmodel.
Fix that, so that the FAB will hide/show on scroll according to the
user's preferences.
While I'm here simplify the show/hide logic. The previous code would
ignore the user's preference if scrolling up. There doesn't seem to
be a good reason for that, and spelunking 6+ years back through the
history didn't find a justification for that behaviour in the original
commit.
Fixes#15
Scrolling a thread, set of search results, or viewing a thread would
cause the toolbar to flicker as items moved under it.
Fix this by configuring the toolbar to `liftOnScroll` in the relevant
layouts.
It needs to be configured with the view (or ID of the view) that it
will be scrolling. For views that are in the same layout this is done
with the `liftOnScrollTargetViewId` attribute.
For views that are in different layouts (e.g. the toolbar is in
the activity and the scrolling view is in a fragment) the app bar's
`setLiftOnScrollTargetView` method must be called.
Do this in `TimelineFragment` if the hosting activity is a new
interface `AppBarLayoutHost`. Implement this interface in
`StatusListActivity`.
Update the relevant layouts to use `MaterialToolbar`.
Fixes#21
First crash appeared to be caused by a failure to find the
`attr/colorBackgroundAccent` colour from the theme.
It wasn't clear why the attribute could not be found, so to fix it was
simpler to remove the color and attribute entirely, and replace it with
something more appropriate from the Material 3 tokens.
- Preview cards are stroked with `colorOutline`
- Poll options use `colorPrimary` (user's vote) or `colorSecondary`
(other choices) with appropriate text colours.
- Links in link preview cards use `android:attr/textColorLink`
- The placeholder icon in preview cards uses `?android/textColorLink`
- Remove it from `help_message_background`, and stroke with
`?colorOutline`
Doing this I discovered several places where a colour was being
specified unnecessarily, those have been removed.
To make it easier to understand the theme hierarchy that has been
collapsed and renamed to follow Android conventions.
- AppTheme -> Base.Theme.Pachli
- BaseTheme -> Theme.Pachli
- DefaultTheme has been removed as unnecessary
This unearthed a second crash, where `attr/actionBarSizeWithSubtitle`
was not found.
To fix that create an explicit style for toolbars that need it, and
apply the style (`Pachli.Widget.Toolbar`).
This also surfaced a third problem, where the `fragment_timeline*`
layouts had not been updated in `layout-sw640dp`, so those have been
updated to reflect the same views/IDs as the default `fragment_timeline`
layout.
These changes caused a small chain of "unused resource" lint errors,
which have been fixed by removing the unused colours.
The Android Material libraries were also being implicitly depended on
through other library imports instead of being explicit. So include
them as an explicit dependency.
Fixes#18
While drafting the policy I noticed that the `READ_MEDIA_*` permissions
could be added (for newer devices), the `ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`
permission was missing, and `VIBRATE` was unnecessary.
- Rename packages to app.pachli.*
- Switch to Pachli icons (blue / orange)
- Reset database schema version to 1
- Reset versionCode to 1 and versionName to "1.0"
- Update colour scheme, use colorPrimary etc through the app
- Use Material UI components for toolbars
- Use "Pachli" in strings (UI, constants, etc)
- Update copyright on code I contributed
- Update README
- Update fastlane metadata
Requiring trailing commas on multi-line lists of items (declarations
and call sites) reduces future repository churn when those lines are
changed, but introduces additional churn now.
Bite the bullet and make the change, as well as adjusting lines that
were too long / indented incorrectly.
The changes were performed automatically, using the `ktlintFormat` task.

Prior to this change the user had to repeatedly tap "Load more" when
scrolling. This is tedious for the user.
In addition, the previous code had bugs that meant that not all statuses
were being loaded. Users could leave the app for a while (overnight,
say), and when returning would discover far fewer statuses than had
actually been posted.
Fix this, following the architecture first introduced for notifications
(Fragment -> ViewModel -> Repository -> Source/Mediator).
- Load statuses for cached and non-cached timelines using Paging3
- Show Failures during a load, and the user can retry
- Delete the "Reading order" preference, it is no longer necessary
Android's choices for font customisation can be limited, depending on
the vendor. Allow users to choose from a small collection of embedded
fonts, chosen by asking users for recommendations.
The font choice is implemented as a preference. Provide a custom dialog
that shows the fonts (in that font) so the user can see what they're
choosing between.
Ensure the font's license information is displayed in the "About"
section.
The previous code did not credit all third party code used in the app,
or provide access to the licenses.
Fix this by adopting the "aboutlibraries" library, which processes
dependencies at build time and generates a list of dependencies,
versions, and license information to display to the user.
Use this to also ensure that the non-source dependencies (artwork,
emoji) are given appropriate credit.
- Remove the existing restriction on the number of tabs
- Allow the tabs to scroll to display more
- Update UI and text resources to remove obsolete content
The "trending" functionality will expand to include trending links and
posts. But at the moment the "Trending" references in the code are
exclusively to hashtags.
Rename "Trending" to "TrendingTags" or similar everywhere necessary in
order to prepare for this.
This includes a database migration, as the identifier for the "Trending
tags" tab in the account preferences was changed from "Trending" to
"TrendingTags". The migration updates the stored value if necessary.
Before, intent creation was scattered across multiple sites, with account switching logic in both `ComposeActivity` and `MainActivity`.
Now, intents are only created in `MainActivity` Companion, and account switching only occurs in `MainActivity`
Fixes#3695
Android lint was erroneously warning that the forEach construct in
Kotlin required API 24+, which is incorrect, see
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/185418482.
Work around that by forcing the Android lint version to 8.1.0.
This triggered some additional checks, which have been ignored, and a
new baseline.
Fix a crash where workers, in some conditions, should show a notification. These are sent to a dedicated channel with no importance.
Convert NotificationWorker to a CoroutineWorker and remove its use of `runBlocking`.
Fixes#3754
* Disable lint checks for unused resource IDs
The check doesn't catch some instances where resources are used through viewbinding, and has too many false positives to be useful.
* Regenerate lint baseline
Delete the existing file, then regenerated with `.\gradlew lintBlueDebug -Dlint.baselines.continue=true`
* Enforce lint cleanliness when building
The volume of lintable issues is growing. To stem the tide:
1. Add `app/lint-baseline.xml`, which contains the current set of lint issues.
Any issue appearing here will not cause the build to fail.
2. Move lint configuration settings in to `lint.xml`.
3. Update the lint configuration so that any issue (i.e., any issue not
in lint-baseline.xml) causes a build failure.
4. Add the lint tasks as depedency when assembling an APK, to ensure the
lint checks are run.
* lint: Convert launcher images to webp
* Move lint.xml location
* Don't lint when assembling
* Update baseline
