Previously, we'd only show the attachment button when the user had
yet to enter any text. To add an attachment after text was entered,
you'd have to go to the three-dot menu. Now we just show a little
attach button in the text area.
I also took the opportunity to clean up other button paddings and
stuff in the compose area so things look better and react to text
sizes more predictably.
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 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.
Translation completion >= 90%, with the exception of Irish (80%), but they've been waiting for a rather long time.
Added:
- Irish
- Kurdish
- Telugu
- Ukrainian
Previously, if an operation failed, we set the result to "null".
However, this was a mistake. Setting the result at all assumes success.
Instead, we need to set an exception so the ListenableFuture knows that
the operation failed.
A variety of improvements to the image editor, such as:
- New, fullscreen styling
- Smoother lines
- Better text and sticker handling
- Improved color picker with a history pallette
- New highlighter tool
Using the singleLine attribute will make the TextView report that the
lineCount is always 1, regardless of actual text length. This breaks our
manual ellipsize calculation. Because you can't actually read the
singleLine attribute at runtime, I've switched relevant usages of
singleLine to use maxLines=1 (relevant usages are EmojiTextViews where
singleLine was set and ellipsize was set to 'end').
Fixes#7744
The "contact" option in the attachments tray now brings you through an
optimized contact sharing flow, allowing you to select specific fields
to share. The contact is then presented as a special message type,
allowing you to interact with the card to add the contact to your system
contacts, invite them to signal, initiate a signal message, etc.
Did a refactor to better organize the camera flipping code. Also, I
wanted to make sure we handle the cases where the user doesn't have two
cameras (or no cameras, for that matter). In these cases, we just don't
show the appropriate buttons.
Previously, quotes were not saved to drafts, meaning they would be lost
when leaving the conversation or app. Now, a QuoteId (which represents
the necessary data to restore the QuoteModel) is serialized and stored
in the DraftDatabase.
Fixes#7716Closes#7729
Unfortunately, the change wasn't as simple as just switching to use our
EmojiTextView. That view only supported single-line text. I added
support for multi-line text.
Fixes#7704.
Currently, if you're searching for a contact to start a conversation
with or send a share to (via the Android sharing system), groups do not
appear. With this change, groups will now appear when searching, located
under their own heading.
Fixes#7202.
Closes#7577
In landscape, you'd see that the tabs were a different color from the
toolbar. This has been corrected so they're all the same color now.
Fixes#7578Closes#7579
Previously, we were always rendering images as squares. Instead of doing
that, we now render them as close to true-to-size as possible (within
reasonable min/max width/height boundaries).
It is now possible to batch-delete media in the "media overview" screen.
You can long press to enter multi-select mode. Then a delete button
appears on the menu bar. After pressing delete, you will get a
confirmation, and if the user confirms, the items will delete while a
progres dialog shows.
When viewing a media in the media preview, you can delete it by pressing
a delete button on the action bar. It will then ask you to confirm your
choice. If you confirm, it will delete the attachment from the database
and from disk. If it was the only attachment for that message, the
message itself will also be deleted.
