The current auto-reconnection implementation will only try reconnecting
once, immediately after the server is disconnected. This will of course
almost always fail if the network is down or otherwise unavailable, so
as it stands, enabling auto-reconnect isn't particularly useful.
This patch implements multiple retries for auto-reconnect, with the
frequency of retries controlled by a preference. The Android alarm
infrastructure is used to schedule reconnection attempts; if the phone
misses a scheduled attempt while it's asleep, the reconnection will be
attempted the next time the phone wakes up.
(1) Let full-screen IMEs wrap the text into multiple lines instead of
making the text scroll off the screen.
(2) Provide a preference to let the user choose whether or not to enable
autocorrection of typed text.
(3) Provide a preference to let the user choose whether or not to enable
autocapitalization of sentences. Note that even when this is enabled,
autocapitalization will only happen if the option is also enabled in the
IME.
(4) In landscape mode only, don't replace the Enter key with a Send
button, to make it harder to accidentally send a message. (We can't do
this in portrait, because we would be left without any send button at
all -- perhaps the input line should be changed to be similar to the
text message application, which has a send button next to the input
line?)
Features:
* Now displays the number of mentions that the user has not seen in the
notification.
* When no mentions are outstanding, display which servers the user is
connected to, not the last message.
* When more than one mention is outstanding, display the names of the
conversations with new mentions, not just the last message received.
* Notifications of mentions are suppressed if you're in the conversation
at the time of the mention.
* Notifications of mentions automatically clear when you bring up the
conversation.
* Vibrate notifications now generate the user's chosen default vibrate
pattern, not a hard-coded one.
* Add ticker text to the notification that's displayed when the IRCService
goes into the foreground, instead of displaying a blank ticker.
To allow for all of this, the implementation moves most of the details
of generating the notification text into the IRCService, which now
exposes addNewMention() and notifyConnected()/notifyDisconnected()
methods instead of the lower-level updateNotification().
