For short messages in a cluster, the contact photo was sometimes taller
than the actual bubble, leading to extra weird space. So instead we use
a container to hold the width of the cell, and set the avatar to be GONE
instead of INVISIBLE.
The previous way we were getting the next/previous record didn't take into
consideration that some records aren't in the cursor -- some are in the
fastRecords map. We now use the proper position to get the next/previous
message.
Apparently onAnimationEnd is not a reliable event on some Android
versions, so I've moved to instead using a simple postDelayed() that is
the same length as the animation.
The media size traditionally determines the bubble size, but the author
could make it wider, which would lead to rendering issues. In the case
of media attachments (images, videos, and shared contacts), we restrict
the width of the author name. When there's a number+profile name combo,
we split the space 50/50 between the two.
In particular, there were many issues with drawing corners.
Unfortunately, there's no pretty way to get masking working on every
Android version, so we have to switch back to using custom backgrounds
and then using multiple masking methods depending on Android version.
Also, I had to remove attr references in drawables. They crash on 4.x.
Unfortunately, there's apps out there that trigger contact changes
very frequently. Because we listen to the system for contact
changes to tell us when to sync, that could result in us sending
an abundance of contact syncs to linked desktop instances.
This throttles contact sync requests using the following methodology:
- By default, throttle contact syncs to 6 hrs while the app is
backgrounded.
- If a sync is throttled in the background, we set a dirty flag and
will execute the sync the next time the app is foregrounded.
- Syncs explicitly requested by desktop are never throttled.
The directory we were previously saving backups to on the external SD
card is actually deleted upon app uninstall and/or clearing the app's
data. There's also no reliable way to write to the root of an external
SD card (that isn't comically inconvenient), so for now it's safer if we
just move back to getting the regular 'ol standard external storage
directory (which is likely internal storage, despite its name).

For self-sends, we were never marking attachments as uploaded. I made is
so that happens now, but to prevent it for showing for already-sent
messages, we also don't show controls for self-send conversations.
This particularly helps with the bug where people who were newly added
to a group wouldn't receive an expiration timer until the first message
was sent.
Previously, contact shares would be displayed as "Media Message". Now
it'll show the same as it does in a notification, namely
"{contact-emoji} {contact-name}".
Previously, we were running this job in PushSendJob#onCanceled().
However, with the new retry logic, this won't happen for 24 hours.
Instead, we now schedule the job in PushSendJob#onRetry().
Previously, we retried based on a count. Now we've added the ability to
keep retrying for a specified time, using exponential backoff to
throttle attempts.
We never properly registered the ExpirationListener, meaning we were
relying on the wait-notify loop of ExpirationManager to delete things.
This normally works, but fails when your phone goes to sleep. So I
properly registered the receiver, and then added a failsafe to re-run
the ExpirationManager if we're about to render an expired message.
Fixes#7906
We have to make some changes, and it's gotten to the point where
maintaining it as a separate library is more hassle than it's worth,
especially with Google releasing WorkManager as the preferred job
scheduling library.
