CameraX was initializing Camera2 API stuff on API < 21, causing
crashes at boot. To handle this, we disable the default
ContentProvider initializer and initialize things ourselves for
appropriate API levels.
`firebase_analytics_collection_enabled` is used for temporarily
enabling/disabling analytics.
We already use `firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated`, which is
used for permanently disabling analytics.
Update our media send flow to allow users to send multiple images/videos
at once. This change includes:
- New in-app media picker flow.
- Ability to caption images and videos.
- Image editing tools are made more prominent in the flow.
- Some fixes to the image editing tools.
Due to an Android P bug, we basically need to stop calling
startService() in onResume()/onPause(). That means I had to turn
MessageRetrieval service into a singlton instead of a service. I also
moved the offending KeyCachingService calls into static methods that
didn't have to start the service.
This gives us more control over when it happens, as well as lets us set
things like the debug level. Also let's us get rid of the synchronized
block we had in Application#onCreate().
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.
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
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
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.
