- Update to Api 35
- Update all dependencies that were blocked because they require Api 35
- fix some deprecation warnings
- implement the now required edge-to-edge mode
Edge-to-edge mode means that we now draw under the status bar and the
navigation bar and need to make sure we don't overlap with them.
Previously the system would do that for us, and we would only provide
the color we want the bars in.
For the edge-to-edge mode there are two Apis that are important:
- `fitsSystemWindows` - some Widgets, mostly from the Material library,
automatically handle system insets if you set this attribute on them to
true
- `ViewCompat.setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener` - this allows you to
manually handle the various insets. By returning new insets from the
callback it is possible to tell the system which ones are handled and
which ones should be taken care of by another view.
In most places edge-to-edge was straightforward to implement, except in
`ComposeActivity`, `AccountActivity` and `MainActivity` which required a
more custom approach, and a hacky solution to make landscape mode work
in `BaseActivity`.
There is also the `ViewCompat.setWindowInsetsAnimationCallback` Api
which allows animating with moving insets. I used that in
`LoginActivity` and `ComposeActivity` to animate the Views together with
the keyboard.
On Android Versions below 15 (Api <= 34) Tusky will look almost the same
as before. I think the only exception is the main bottom bar, which is
now slighty larger. We customized it to be smaller than the default, but
in edge-to-edge mode the height needs to be `wrap_content` or it won't
handle insets correctly.

- use `runTest` instead of `runBlocking`, where possible
- run all Robolectric tests on Api 34 (where we have most users)
- some new testcase for `TimestampUtilsTest`
- move our only instrumented Android Test, `MigrationsTest`, to unit
test so it runs in CI and expand it to test all migrations
- upgrade Robolectric
- removed truth and espresso as they are no longer needed
Hilt is an annotation processor built on top of Dagger which allows to
remove all the Android dependency injection boilerplate code (currently
around 900 lines) by writing it for us.
Hilt can use KSP instead of Kapt so Kapt can be completely removed from
the project. Kapt is slow, deprecated and has a few compatibility
issues. Removing Kapt will improve build times since no Java stubs have
to be generated for Kotlin classes anymore (Note that KSP also processes
annotations in Java classes so it can completely replace Kapt).
- Remove all modules related to manual dependency injection
configuration.
- Rename `AppModule` to `StorageModule` since it now only contains
configuration to retrieve the DataBase and SharedPreferences.
- Annotate all entry points (Activities, Fragments, BroadcastReceivers
and Services) with `@AndroidEntryPoint`.
- Annotate all injected ViewModels with `@HiltViewModel` and replace the
custom ViewModel Factory with the default one (which integrates with the
one generated by Hilt).
- Add a public field to allow overriding the default
ViewModelProvider.Factory in `BaseActivity` in tests.
- Annotate tested Activities with `@OptionalInject` since Activity tests
currently rely on the Activities not being injected automatically.
- Annotate injected `Context` arguments with `@ApplicationContext`. Hilt
provides the `Context` binding automatically but requires to specify if
the Application or Activity Context is wanted.
- Add WorkManager Hilt integration so all Workers are injected by Hilt
automatically using `HiltWorkerFactory`.
- Lazily initialize WorkManager in `TuskyApplication`.
- Remove Kapt and Kapt workarounds.
- ~~Remove toolchain configuration for Java 21. Toolchains force the
Java bytecode to match the JDK version used to build the project, and
apparently Hilt doesn't run inside the toolchain so cannot process the
source code if the JDK version of the toolchain is higher than the JDK
used to run Gradle. [And configuring a toolchain for an older Java
version causes other
issues](https://jakewharton.com/gradle-toolchains-are-rarely-a-good-idea/).
**Removing toolchains configuration doesn't prevent the project from
being built using JDK 21** or more recent versions but allows to build
the project using older JDKs as well.~~
Added a fix to allow Hilt to properly use the JDK toolchain.
- ~~Set the Java and Kotlin bytecode target to Java 17. The standard
bytecode target for Android projects is usually Java 8 or 11 (any higher
version doesn't provide any benefit but may cause compatibility issues).
However, since the app currently uses a library built against Java 17
bytecode (`networkresult-calladapter`), it needs to target at least Java
17 bytecode as well.~~
- Update the Dagger 2 URL in the licenses screen. Hilt is part of Dagger
2 so the label wasn't changed.
- Read license resource using Okio inside a coroutine (instead of the
main thread) in `LicenseActivity`
- Use Okio and its buffer system to copy ContentProvider streams and
files to a temporary file in `MediaUploader.prepareMedia()`
- Properly close the input file after copying it to a temporary file in
`MediaUploader.prepareMedia()`
- Properly close sink in case of null body source during file copy in
`Uri.copyToFolder()` in `DraftHelper.kt`
- Add comment explaining the current value of `DEFAULT_CHUNK_SIZE` in
`UriRequestBody.kt` and indent the file properly
- Replace hardcoded `Charset` and `Int` byte size with the proper
constants, and align the `hashCode()` implementation with other
`BitmapTransformation` implementations in
`CompositeWithOpaqueBackground`
- Properly close `InputStream` in case of error during Bitmap size
decoding in `getImageSquarePixels()`
- return `Int` instead of `Long` in `getImageSquarePixels()`, since the
current code simply converts the `Int` result to a `Long` _after_
multiplication and not before (and `Int.MAX_VALUE` is already way above
the maximum number of pixels a decoded Bitmap could return)
- Simplify `getImageOrientation()`
- Add explicit dependency to the Okio library and upgrade it to its
latest version.

read involving JSON !
**Gson** is obsolete and has been superseded by **Moshi**. But more
importantly, parsing Kotlin objects using Gson is _dangerous_ because
Gson uses Java serialization and is **not Kotlin-aware**. This has two
main consequences:
- Fields of non-null types may end up null at runtime. Parsing will
succeed, but the code may crash later with a `NullPointerException` when
trying to access a field member;
- Default values of constructor parameters are always ignored. When
absent, reference types will be null, booleans will be false and
integers will be zero.
On the other hand, Kotlin-aware parsers like **Moshi** or **Kotlin
Serialization** will validate at parsing time that all received fields
comply with the Kotlin contract and avoid errors at runtime, making apps
more stable and schema mismatches easier to detect (as long as logs are
accessible):
- Receiving a null value for a non-null type will generate a parsing
error;
- Optional types are declared explicitly by adding a default value. **A
missing value with no default value declaration will generate a parsing
error.**
Migrating the entity declarations from Gson to Moshi will make the code
more robust but is not an easy task because of the semantic differences.
With Gson, both nullable and optional fields are represented with a null
value. After converting to Moshi, some nullable entities can become
non-null with a default value (if they are optional and not nullable),
others can stay nullable with no default value (if they are mandatory
and nullable), and others can become **nullable with a default value of
null** (if they are optional _or_ nullable _or_ both). That third option
is the safest bet when it's not clear if a field is optional or not,
except for lists which can usually be declared as non-null with a
default value of an empty list (I have yet to see a nullable array type
in the Mastodon API).
Fields that are currently declared as non-null present another
challenge. In theory, they should remain as-is and everything will work
fine. In practice, **because Gson is not aware of nullable types at
all**, it's possible that some non-null fields currently hold a null
value in some cases but the app does not report any error because the
field is not accessed by Kotlin code in that scenario. After migrating
to Moshi however, parsing such a field will now fail early if a null
value or no value is received.
These fields will have to be identified by heavily testing the app and
looking for parsing errors (`JsonDataException`) and/or by going through
the Mastodon documentation. A default value needs to be added for
missing optional fields, and their type could optionally be changed to
nullable, depending on the case.
Gson is also currently used to serialize and deserialize objects to and
from the local database, which is also challenging because backwards
compatibility needs to be preserved. Fortunately, by default Gson omits
writing null fields, so a field of type `List<T>?` could be replaced
with a field of type `List<T>` with a default value of `emptyList()` and
reading back the old data should still work. However, nullable lists
that are written directly (not as a field of another object) will still
be serialized to JSON as `"null"` so the deserializing code must still
be handling null properly.
Finally, changing the database schema is out of scope for this pull
request, so database entities that also happen to be serialized with
Gson will keep their original types even if they could be made non-null
as an improvement.
In the end this is all for the best, because the app will be more
reliable and errors will be easier to detect by showing up earlier with
a clear error message. Not to mention the performance benefits of using
Moshi compared to Gson.
- Replace Gson reflection with Moshi Kotlin codegen to generate all
parsers at compile time.
- Replace custom `Rfc3339DateJsonAdapter` with the one provided by
moshi-adapters.
- Replace custom `JsonDeserializer` classes for Enum types with
`EnumJsonAdapter.create(T).withUnknownFallback()` from moshi-adapters to
support fallback values.
- Replace `GuardedBooleanAdapter` with the more generic `GuardedAdapter`
which works with any type. Any nullable field may now be annotated with
`@Guarded`.
- Remove Proguard rules related to Json entities. Each Json entity needs
to be annotated with `@JsonClass` with no exception, and adding this
annotation will ensure that R8/Proguard will handle the entities
properly.
- Replace some nullable Boolean fields with non-null Boolean fields with
a default value where possible.
- Replace some nullable list fields with non-null list fields with a
default value of `emptyList()` where possible.
- Update `TimelineDao` to perform all Json conversions internally using
`Converters` so no Gson or Moshi instance has to be passed to its
methods.
- ~~Create a custom `DraftAttachmentJsonAdapter` to serialize and
deserialize `DraftAttachment` which is a special entity that supports
more than one json name per field. A custom adapter is necessary because
there is not direct equivalent of `@SerializedName(alternate = [...])`
in Moshi.~~ Remove alternate names for some `DraftAttachment` fields
which were used as a workaround to deserialize local data in 2-years old
builds of Tusky.
- Update tests to make them work with Moshi.
- Simplify a few `equals()` implementations.
- Change a few functions to `val`s
- Turn `NetworkModule` into an `object` (since it contains no abstract
methods).
Please test the app thoroughly before merging. There may be some fields
currently declared as mandatory that are actually optional.
Using saner defaults for R8 while reducing the app size even further.
- Add Kotlin compiler options to skip adding assertions in release
builds
- Remove `optimizations`, `optimizationpasses` and `dontpreverify` rules
that are ignored by R8
- Only keep runtime annotations by default. If other attributes are
needed by a specific library, these will already be provided by the
library rules (for example Retrofit or coroutines)
- Remove the obsolete rule allowing a View to reflectively call any
arbitrary public Activity method accepting a View as argument. This has
always been a bad practice and is not used in this project anyway
- Remove the rules related to enums. R8 already optimizes enums properly
out-of-the-box and keeping these rules may prevent some of these
optimizations
- Add support for the `@Keep` annotation. Even if it's not currently
used in the code base, it can be handy in the future
- Add a missing rule to prevent generic signature of `NetworkResult`
class from being removed in `MastodonApi` so Retrofit works
- Allow obfuscation and shrinking of `kotlin.coroutines.Continuation`,
matching the rule defined in the next release of Retrofit
- Remove the rule forcing the removal of `String.format()`. This method
is actually used in the code (and in third-party libraries) for other
things than logging so forcing its removal can do more harm than good.
This pull request removes the remaining RxJava code and replaces it with
coroutine-equivalent implementations.
- Remove all duplicate methods in `MastodonApi`:
- Methods returning a RxJava `Single` have been replaced by suspending
methods returning a `NetworkResult` in order to be consistent with the
new code.
- _sync_/_async_ method variants are replaced with the _async_ version
only (suspending method), and `runBlocking{}` is used to make the async
variant synchronous.
- Create a custom coroutine-based implementation of `Single` for usage
in Java code where launching a coroutine is not possible. This class can
be deleted after remaining Java code has been converted to Kotlin.
- `NotificationsFragment.java` can subscribe to `EventHub` events by
calling the new lifecycle-aware `EventHub.subscribe()` method. This
allows using the `SharedFlow` as single source of truth for all events.
- Rx Autodispose is replaced by `lifecycleScope.launch()` which will
automatically cancel the coroutine when the Fragment view/Activity is
destroyed.
- Background work is launched in the existing injectable
`externalScope`, since using `GlobalScope` is discouraged.
`externalScope` has been changed to be a `@Singleton` and to use the
main dispatcher by default.
- Transform `ShareShortcutHelper` to an injectable utility class so it
can use the application `Context` and `externalScope` as provided
dependencies to launch a background coroutine.
- Implement a custom Glide extension method
`RequestBuilder.submitAsync()` to do the same thing as
`RequestBuilder.submit().get()` in a non-blocking way. This way there is
no need to switch to a background dispatcher and block a background
thread, and cancellation is supported out-of-the-box.
- An utility method `Fragment.updateRelativeTimePeriodically()` has been
added to remove duplicate logic in `TimelineFragment` and
`NotificationsFragment`, and the logic is now implemented using a simple
coroutine instead of `Observable.interval()`. Note that the periodic
update now happens between onStart and onStop instead of between
onResume and onPause, since the Fragment is not interactive but is still
visible in the started state.
- Rewrite `BottomSheetActivityTest` using coroutines tests.
- Remove all RxJava library dependencies.
builds upon work from #4082
Additionally fixes some deprecations and adds support for [predictive
back](https://developer.android.com/guide/navigation/custom-back/predictive-back-gesture).
I also refactored how the activity transitions work because they are
closely related to predictive back. The awkward
`finishWithoutSlideOutAnimation` is gone, activities that have been
started with slide in will now automatically close with slide out.
To test predictive back you need an emulator or device with Sdk 34
(Android 14) and then enable it in the developer settings.
Predictive back requires the back action to be determined before it
actually occurs so the system can play the right predictive animation,
which made a few reorganisations necessary.

I had it happen multiple times recently that I was testing green Tusky
but Android Studio actually put blue Tusky on my device and I wasted a
lot of time until I found out 😣
This change should tell it that greenDebug is the preferred flavor for
developing.
Migrate to touchimageview from photoview, and adjust the touch logic to correctly handle single finger drag, two finger pinch/stretch, flings, taps, and swipes.
As before, the features are:
- Single tap, show/hide controls and media description
- Double tap, zoom in/out
- Single finger drag up/down, scale/translate image, dismiss if scrolled too far
- Single finger drag left/right
- When not zoomed, swipe to next image if multiple images present
- When zoomed, scroll to edge of image, then to next image if multiple images present
- Two finger pinch/zoom, zoom in/out on the image
Behaviour differences to previous code
1. Bug fix: The image can't get "stuck" when zoomed, and impossible to scroll
2. Bug fix: Pinching is not mis-interpreted as a fling, closing the image
3. Bug fix: The zoom state of images is not lost or misinterpreted when the user swipes through multiple images
4. Bug fix: Double-tap zooms all the way, instead of stopping
5. Tapping outside the image does not dismiss it, controls and description show/hide
Fixes https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/issues/3562, https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/issues/2297
