At the moment, the reconnect feature is somewhat glitchy, popping up
multiple reconnect prompts even if a reconnection succeeds, and
occasionally causing crashes. A successful reconnection results in the
conversation history being cleared, which is an annoying outcome when
connected over an unreliable network.
This patch does the following:
* Keep track of whether a reconnect dialog is active, to prevent
multiple dialogs from opening.
* Introduce a new field to the Server object, mayReconnect, which is
used to keep track of whether a reconnection should be attempted in
the event of a disconnection. It's set to "true" when we connect to a
server, and "false" if the user asks for a disconnection.
* Prevent the clearing of active conversations and conversation history
on disconnect, unless the user specifically asked for the disconnect.
* Keep the IRCService running even when no servers are connected, unless
the user has disconnected from all servers herself. This is needed
for reliable auto-reconnects (see next patch), but has the side effect
of keeping conversation history around even if the activity isn't open
when a disconnect happens.
When the user asks for a disconnect from the ConversationActivity, there
is a race between the IRCConnection, which is waiting for the server to
acknowledge the QUIT before calling onDisconnect(), and the IRCService,
which will invoke dispose() on the IRCConnection when
checkServiceStatus() is called during the activity shutdown. If the
dispose() wins, the thread running the onDisconnect() is terminated,
leading to the cleanup being unfinished. This causes the disconnect
notification to be unreliable, and can result in the list of servers in
the ongoing notification to be out of sync with reality.
To fix this, introduce a new field isQuitting to the IRCConnection,
which is set to true when quitServer() is called and cleared once
onDisconnect() has finished. If dispose() is called while isQuitting is
set, it sets disposeRequested instead of doing the dispose itself, and
onDisconnect() will call through to super.dispose() once it's finished.
Note that this requires a change to PircBot to allow the overriding of
quitServer(String message), which is declared final upstream.
* If there's a new message notification, keep showing the "New messages
in" content text, even after a disconnect notification.
* Handle the case of a channel/query name duplicated between two or more
connections more gracefully in new message notifications
* Fix a race in updating notifications
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().
As of now, private messages where the sender is our nick end up in
a query window targeted at us. Show these messages in the query window
of the target instead, which is probably what we want.
This is useful for use with irssi proxy, which will send messages sent
by another client attached to the proxy to us in this way.
(Note that this patch makes a change to PircBot to pass the target of a
private message to the onPrivateMessage handler.)
If a private message that should open a new query window contains a
mention of the user's nick, the expected new window fails to open
because the isMentioned() path tries to use
server.getConversation().setStatus(), and server.getConversation() is
null in this case. Fix this by moving the attempt to highlight the
window to a point where a conversation is guaranteed to exist.
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.
