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().
There are at least two significant memory leaks in Yaaic, which cause
the client to force close after a few hours with an
OutOfMemoryException:
(1) The IRCService holds Conversation objects, which contain a
MessageListAdapter, which have references to the ConversationActivity
context. This causes Activity contexts to outlast the Activity, causing
a significant memory leak over time.
Fix this by holding the MessageListAdapter in the ConversationActivity's
DeckAdapter instead of in the Conversation objects. The DeckAdapter's
lifecycle matches that of the Activity, so this prevents the leak.
(2) Every call to DeckAdapter.getView()/renderConversation() creates a
new MessageListView and adds it to the deck. But adding the view to
the deck causes the deck to take a reference to the view, leaking the
MessageListView until the Activity is finished. (This has the effect of
exacerbating the first leak, since the Activity context holds a
reference to the deck.)
Fix this leak by caching MessageListViews in the DeckAdapter, and
returning an existing MessageListView for a Conversation in getView() if
one already exists.
This makes it easier to ignore unintersting messages wihout turning off the setting to show joins/parts/quits.
Once circle is colored for a new message, the join/part/quit cannot override it anymore.
