a unofficial diaspora* client for Android

dandelion*

This is an unofficial webview based client for the community-run, distributed social network diaspora*.

Description

This is an unofficial webview based client for the community-run, distributed social network diaspora*. It's currently under development and should be used with that in mind. Please submit any bugs you might find.

WebApp

The app is developed as a WebApp because currently diaspora* doesn't have an functional API that can be used to create a native interface to retrieve the user's data, publications, direct messages and so on. That's why there are currently only WebApps for diaspora* out there. Stay tuned on diaspora* issues about API.

Why is a WebApp better than using the mobile site on a browser? Basically it provides better integration with the system (events coming into and going out of the app), notifications, customized interface and functions and a nice little icon that takes you directly to your favorite social network :)

Device Requirements

The minimum Android version supported is Jelly Bean, Android v4.2.0 / API 17

Privacy & Permissions

dandelion* requires access to the Internet and to external storage to be able to upload photos when creating a new post and for taking screenshots.

Contributions

The project is always open for contributions and accepts pull requests. The project uses AOSP Java Code Style, with one exception: private members are _camelCase instead of mBigCamel. You may use Android Studios auto reformat feature before sending a PR.

Translations can be contributed on GitHub. You can use Stringlate () to translate the project directly on your Android phone. It allows you to export as E-Mail attachement and to post on GitHub.

Perhaps this could be resolved by moving the carrots closer to the center?

Android KitKat: Can't share image

Hello,

Nothing happens when I press the camera icon while writing a post.

Open links in Android Webview

Activity title according to URL

General information

• Device: Nexus 5,
• Android Version: Android 6.0.1 Stock
• Pod: pod.geraspora.de
• Diaspora pod version: 0.5.99.0-p9bd2337c
• App source: HEAD
• App version: 0.1.4

I have:

• searched open and closed issues for duplicates
• read https://github.com/Diaspora-for-Android/diaspora-android/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

Steps to reproduce

Click on any link which redirects to other section in the webview.
E.g.: A message (Message view) contains a link to an post -> Title stays at "Messages"

Expected result

Title according to current visible content.
Can be done by analyzing the end-part of the url, e.g. inside the CustomWebViewClient class during loading.

can't choose a picture to upload in new post

General information

• Device: Fairphone 1
• Android Version: Android 4.2
• Pod: joindiaspora.com
• Diaspora pod version: 0.6.0.0
• App source: F-Droid
• App version: 0.1.5

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new post

Expected result

What is the expected output?

The camera image should be there, and be clickable to add a picture (as it is when doing the same thing from a browser like Firefox for Android).

What do you see instead?

The camera is a question mark, and clicking it does nothing.

Bottom toolbar is present and empty in ShareActivity

General information

• Device: doesn't matter
• Android Version: doesn't matter
• Pod: doesn't matter
• Diaspora pod version: doesn't matter
• App source: doesn't matter
• App version: HEAD

I have:

• searched open and closed issues for duplicates
• read https://github.com/Diaspora-for-Android/diaspora-android/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

Steps to reproduce

1. Share text to app via new Message

Expected result

What is the expected output?
Share activity has no/logic bottom toolbar

What do you see instead?
empty/useless toolbar

Implement: Open external links in ChromeTab, if Chrome/Chromium is available

General information

• Device: doesn't matter
• Android Version: doesn't matter
• Pod: doesn't matter
• Diaspora pod version: doesn't matter
• App source: doesn't matter
• App version: HEAD

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Diaspora Stream
2. Click on link to external site

Expected result

What is the expected output?
The external site is loaded in a ChromeTab if Chrome/Chromium is available.

What do you see instead?
The external site is opened in an external browser

As discussed here #60 , it would be nice, to open external sites in a ChromeTab instead of sending an intent to open a browser. Opening a browser leads to a resource heavy context switch, which can take some time. We can reduce this time and create a more seamless experience by using ChromeTabs instead.

Note that we dont want to open external links in a WebView instance. See #60 for the reasons.

Can't upload pictures

Hi,
when I want to upload a picture to my pod "pod.gerasporade.de" this message appears:

After clicking ok nothing happens.

General information

• Device: doesn't matter
• Android Version: doesn't matter
• Pod: doesn't matter
• Diaspora pod version: doesn't matter
• App source: doesn't matter
• App version: doesn't matter

It may be nice for first time users to have a prominent button (or another option) to let the app choose a pod for the user. We could for example use https://podupti.me/random.php for that.

Reorganize app-/podsettings in preference activity

General information

• Device: doesn't matter
• Android Version: doesn't matter
• Pod: doesn't matter
• App source: self build (latest HEAD)
• App version: 0.1.2

I have:

• searched open and closed issues for duplicates
• Diaspora for Android installed with an version >= 0.1.1
• read https://github.com/Diaspora-for-Android/diaspora-android/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

Expected result

One clean central spot for all settings and preferences instead of the current settings dialogs.

Splashscreen images consume massive memory

General information

• Device: especially devices with low memory
• Android Version: doesn't matter
• Pod: doesn't matter
• Diaspora pod version: doesn't matter
• App source: doesn't matter
• App version: HEAD

Steps to reproduce

1. Open app
2. See logcat for evidence :D

Expected result

What is the expected output?
DfA consumes little memory resources

What do you see instead?
Rendering the Splash Screen image costs a lot of memory. Its so bad, that emulators with default configuration crash when starting the app. Logcat suggests, that background apps are killed to free memory for DfA.

Stream is loaded instead.

"New-notifications-indicator" freaks out when there are new notifications for the user

Hi!
On my device (Nexus 5, CopperheadOS) the black bar on the bottom of the screen jumps up and down very fast when I have unread notifications.

Fix lint issues

Current version only builds only with android { lintOptions { disable 'MissingTranslation' } } set in build.gradle. this should be handled upstream, since you have deeper insight on what errors are acceptable and which are real issues.

Next page HTML button partially hidden on activities stream

In the main stream the button for loading the next stream page is high enough to be not overlapped by bottom bar. This is not the case in the activities stream which shows my own posts.

Todo: set activityRestartRequired on network proxy settings changed

App with new package on F-Droid

Contact F-Droid team and get the app with the new ID into the repo.

hide bottom panel

The app looks delightful, it's really cool, thanks for that, but sadly, the bottom app needs too much space and would be very nice if the bottom panel automatically got hidden when we scrolled down and showed up again when we scrolled up or open a new link.

Force Closes Upon Share

When using the native Android share in order to share Title And Text, it force closes. When just sharing text only, it works fine.

Android notifications for new messages/pod notifications

Display a notification when a new message comes in.
Might be done in an service which runs at background and checks at an configurable interval.

Rework sharing data via Intent

Improve/Rework sharing data via Intent

• Remove ShareActivities
• Provide one entry point in the app to share to
• App scans the share intent and looks which data is included
• Allow user to select which parts of message he wants to include in his diaspora post
• Allow picture sharing into the app (#11 )

• Pod: doesn't matter
• Diaspora pod version: doesn't matter
• App source: self build (latest HEAD)

3. Switch back to Diaspora

Expected result

What is the expected output?
Works as intended

What do you see instead?
I experience rare crashes (Diaspora has been stopped)

I'll try to reproduce it while logcat is running. I think a log I once got suggested that the webview has had a sigsev. I'm on CopperheadOS, which uses Chromium as WebView, so this might only happen on CopperheadOS devices.

Native tor/orbot support via NetCipher

Hi!
It would be great to have native support for the usage of orbot as proxy, maybe proxy settings in general.
NetCipher is a library by the guardianproject that provides such functionality. Do you think it would be worth to implement this into the app?

Implement dynamic color themes

General information

• Device: doesn't matter
• Android Version: doesn't matter
• Pod: doesn't matter
• Diaspora pod version: doesn't matter
• App source: doesn't matter
• App version: HEAD

It would be nice to have an option where the user can dynamically chose the colors for the theme. LeafPic is a very good example for that:

Todo:

• Create color picker in settingsActivity
• Store color values in AppSettings
• Apply colors to MainActivity
• Apply colors to AboutActivity
• Apply colors to DiasporaStreamFragment
• Fix: StatusBar background color is still blue when clicking on a PreferenceScreen in the Settings
• Create/apply light/dark theme (fonts, icons, background of drawer/Activities)
• Apply accent colors to checkboxes etc. in the SettingsActivity

Set App icon as avatar in slider if user has no avatar set yet.

Right now there is no image shown in the slider when the user has not set an avatar in diaspora. We should instead show eg. the app icon.

Todo: Add Toolbar with back button to SettingsActivity

We should add a toolbar with a back button to the SettingsActivity for a unified experience.

'Back to top'-button does not set swipe velocity to 0

General information

• Device: doesn't matter
• Android Version: doesn't matter
• Pod: doesn't matter
• Diaspora pod version: doesn't matter
• App source: doesn't matter
• App version: v0.1.3

I have:

• searched open and closed issues for duplicates
• Diaspora for Android installed with an version >= 0.1.1
• read https://github.com/Diaspora-for-Android/diaspora-android/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

Steps to reproduce

1. Open stream
2. Fast swipe up to go deeper in the stream (let the stream scroll on itself)
3. Click 'back-to-top'-button to go back to the top of the stream while the stream is still scrolling

Expected result

Stream goes to top and stops there

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Stream "bounces" off the top and scrolls down again on its own
I guess this is caused by the button not setting velocity to 0, so there is still velocity left when the top is reached.

Implement password/pin code lock

It would be nice, to have an option to activate a pin or password code that prevents unauthorized people from viewing contents of the app. This would of course be an optional feature.

Pull down & refresh trigger is too sensitive

General information

• Device: Fairphone 1
• Android Version: 4.2.2
• Pod: joindiaspora.com
• Diaspora pod version: 0.5.9.99
• App source: F-Droid
• App version: 0.1.2

I have:

• searched open and closed issues for duplicates
• Diaspora for Android installed with an version >= 0.1.1
• read https://github.com/Diaspora-for-Android/diaspora-android/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to your stream
2. Pull down to get back to the top

Expected result

The refresh trigger is very sensitive and starts as soon as we reach the top of the stream. The trigger should not be as sensible so we don't refresh all the time without wanting to.

Debug output

Steps to reproduce

1. Fresh installation of Diaspora for Android
2. Share image to other app (eg. Telegram)

Expected result

Expected: App asks for storage access permission to save Image and share it afterwards.

Actual result: App does not ask for permission. Sharing fails.

Build generates an invalid APK

Multi-account support

Everything is in the title. A lot of people using diaspora tend to have multiple accounts on multiple pods. Would be nice to be able to switch between accounts in the same app.

This might be a bug on Telegrams side (Telegram-FOSS 3.10.1, FDroid), sharing to Conversations works as intended.

Share pictures to app

• Allow users to share pictures into the app

Update NetCipher library

2.0.0-alpha is available.

post editor has erratic behaviour

General information

• Device: Fair phone 1
• Android Version: 4.2.2
• Pod: joindiaspora.com
• Diaspora pod version: 0.5.9.99
• App source: F-Droid
• App version: 0.1.2

I have:

• searched open and closed issues for duplicates
• Diaspora for Android installed with an version >= 0.1.1
• read https://github.com/Diaspora-for-Android/diaspora-android/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

Steps to reproduce

1st behaviour:

1. Share something via "D* New Message"
2. Paste some text
3. The text ends up in a different position, often in the middle of existing text.

2nd behaviour:

1. Share something via "D* New Message"
2. Start writing stuff
3. The text box often disappears. Writing is still registered and the user can edit blindly, and the text box can be restored by tapping the phone's "back" button.

Debug output

Will post debug output when find some time.

Does anyone else witness this behaviour?

UI for Pod & App informations

General information

• Device: doesn't matter
• Android Version: doesn't matter
• Pod: doesn't matter
• Diaspora pod version: doesn't matter
• App source: F-Droid, self build (latest HEAD)
• App version: eg 0.1.5, or commit

Add a section eg. in settings that shows useful information about the account in use. That includes things like app and pod version.

• Implement AboutAcitvity
• Add app version
• Add package name
• Add Android/ROM version
• Add pod domain
• Add recent logs
• Add option to copy/share debug information (maybe even formated in a way that fits the issue template)
• Add pod version
• Also show crash logs of app runs in the past

Check for new Notifications via service

General information

• Device: doesn't matter
• Android Version: doesn't matter
• Pod: doesn't matter
• Diaspora pod version: doesn't matter
• App source: doesn't matter
• App version: HEAD

Steps to reproduce

1. Open stream with unread notification
2. click notification icon and open the unread notification ("read it")
3. go back to stream via back button

Expected result

What is the expected output?
Notifications counter reads zero

What do you see instead?
Notifications counter still shows new notification

This is caused by the webview reusing cached data.
If we change the notifications button to use a dedicated service that pulls updates everytime we visit a new page in the webview, the problem should be gone.
