On Jelly Bean and above:
- Use the standard notification style for a better and consistent visual
appearance
- Use the JB notification actions API for the locking action
- Use a lower notification priority to prioritize other notifications
over TextSecure
On ICS:
- Use the existing custom notification layout
Everywhere:
- Allow opening the app itself from the notification
- Simplify strings: don't talk about a "cached passphrase" but about the
app being "unlocked"/"locked"
On some systems, the DB upgrade was failing because there were
too many rows for the cursor window. This moves some looping
operations into single update statements by using the substr()
command, and chunks the rest using a series of LIMITs.
1) We now try to hand out cursors at a minimum. There has always been
a fairly clean insertion layer that handles encrypting message bodies,
but the process of decrypting message bodies has always been less than
ideal. Here we introduce a "Reader" interface that will decrypt message
bodies when appropriate and return objects that encapsulate record state.
No more MessageDisplayHelper. The MmsSmsDatabase interface is also more
sane.
2) We finally rid ourselves of the technical debt associated with TextSecure's
initial usage of the default SMS DB. In that world, we weren't able to use
anything other than the default "Inbox, Outbox, Sent" types to describe a
message, and had to overload the message content itself with a set of
local "prefixes" to describe what it was (encrypted, asymetric encrypted,
remote encrypted, a key exchange, procssed key exchange), and so on.
This includes a major schema update that transforms the "type" field into
a bitmask that describes everything that used to be encoded in a prefix,
and prefixes have been completely eliminated from the system.
No more Prefix.java
3) Refactoring of the MultipartMessageHandler code. It's less of a mess, and
hopefully more clear as to what's going on.
The next step is to remove what we can from SmsTransportDetails and genericize
that interface for a GCM equivalent.
1) Update the create, prompt, and change passphrase activities.
They are no longer dialog themed, and should look a little
less ugly.
2) Update the import DB activity to be less ugly and more robust.
3) Abstract all of the state handling stuff out of
ConversationListActivity. This is now handled by RoutingActivity,
which all launch intents move through.
1) Consolidate all of the KeyCachingService interaction into a single
mixin. Activities extend delegates which call through to the mixin.
2) Switch Activity increment/decrement triggers from onStop to onPause
in order to account for some screen locks that don't stop activities.
1) Refactor the master secret reset logic to properly interact with
services.
2) Add support for "BigText" and "Inbox" style notifications.
3) Decrypt message bodies when unlocked, display 'encrypted' when
locked.
On platforms (API >= 11) that support receiving click events within
a notification, we change the notification format so that users
can "lock" TextSecure with a click.
For all platforms, we change the notification icon in the status
bar from a "lock" to an "unlock," to better reflect the situation.
This is all part of the master plan for eliminating the passphrase
timeout option.
1) Change all instances which use concatenation to build strings
with variables in them to use string formatting instead.
2) Extract all string literals from layouts and menus into strings.xml
3) Extract all string literals from code into strings.xml
1) Start breaking the UI out into Fragments.
2) Switch to Cursor loaders from managed cursors.
3) Switch to inflated menu resources.
4) Break out some basic functionality into helper classes.
