Occasionally a job may be run when the app is in a network-restricted
mode, like a form of doze. When this happens, jobs can timeout due to
lack of network access, causing a cascade of job delays. This is
particularly bad in the case of message retrieval.
To prevent this, if a job that normally requires network detects that no
network is available when running, then we start a foreground
notification.
A new, fullscreen camera capture flow that easily allows you to capture
and edit a photo before sending it. Replaces the current half-screen
camera button.
This also fixes the situation where we block group-leave messages,
preventing blocked contacts from leaving groups.

Also, this forced us to upgrade libsignal-service, which fixes the
websocket timeout issues. Thanks to @dpapavas!

If the user has an external SD card set as their default storage
(notably on a Huawei device, like the Huawei Mate 10 Lite), then
PersistentBlobProvider will try to write a file to the SD card, but
would fail to generate a URI for it due to us missing a line in our
FileProvider setup. This just adds that missing entry.
Special thanks to @aleb2000 for digging into this!

We were getting an IllegalArgumentException during channel creation on
some Samsung phones. Stack trace didn't give me much more than that, so
just adding in some additional safeguards that make sense based on
reading AOSP.
We were getting a TransactionTooLargeException when giving an
EditText a very large (1.5MB+) text block. This has been resolved
by switching to a RecyclerView to show the text line-by-line. As a
side-effect, this improves scroll performance on lower-end devices.
Also, I added a button to jump to the bottom of the log because I
really wanted one :)
Fixes#8124
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.

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.
