Product Description

Messaging icon shown at top of app home page when PersonalID is configured

Technical Summary

Adding the messaging menu option and handling

Demo videos showing various login scenarios (Login + Job list, Wifi + No Wifi):
Demo 1
Demo 2

Note about the different possible ways to learn about a new message:

PersonalID sends an FCM push notification to the mobile device when a new channel/message is ready. However, for various reasons that notification may be delayed or may never arrive. Some common delay is always expected as the notification travels through servers and across the internet, but other issues such as poor network connectivity, disabled push notifications for the app can also result in the notification not arriving as expected.

So in addition, there is also a retrieve_messages API call that mobile can make to PersonalID to retrieve the latest messages.

This means that while on a page that interacts with messaging (channel list, channel page, or any page that shows the messaging icon, there are two ways we can learn about new channels/messages:

  1. Via the API call (made when pages load, and on user-initiated request)
  2. Via a broadcast (currently only on feature/connect branch) that gets sent from FirebaseMessagingUtil when a messaging-related FCM message is received.

Example 1:
A user is on the app home page with no unread messages (no red dot on messaging icon)
Then the device receives an FCM notification for a new received PersonalID message, so FirebaseMessagingUtil broadcasts and the home page automatically updates to show the red dot.

Example 2:
A user is on the app home page with no unread messages (no red dot on messaging icon)
They haven't received the FCM notification about a new message yet, but they refresh the page (in this case logout and back in for example), and the retrieve_messages API call learns about a new received PersonalID message, so the home page shows the red dot.

QA Plan

Verify messaging icon does not show in app home when PersonalID is not configured
Verify messaging icon is shown in app home when PersonalID is configured
Verify clicking the messaging icon navigates to the channel list page
Verify that a red dot appears on the icon when unread messages are present

Logic for showing/hiding, choosing icon, and updating icon when message received.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change introduces a messaging feature to the app's home screen. A new messaging menu item is added to the home menu XML, and StandardHomeActivity is updated to display this item conditionally based on the user's login type. The menu item's icon dynamically reflects the presence of unread messages, with updates triggered by broadcasts or message retrieval events. The icon logic is centralized in a new static method in MessageManager. Selecting the menu item navigates the user to the messaging screen. Related icon update logic in ConnectActivity is refactored to use the new centralized method.

It follows a modern architecture using Navigation Components with three navigation graphs, segregated business logic in Manager classes, and proper database persistence.

Learning: In the CommCare Android codebase, use org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull for null-safety annotations. Empty strings are acceptable for unspecified values, but null values should be prevented using @NotNull.

Applied to files:

  • app/src/org/commcare/activities/StandardHomeActivity.java
🔇 Additional comments (11)
app/res/menu/menu_app_home.xml (1)

4-8: LGTM! Well-structured messaging menu item.

The new messaging menu item is properly configured with appropriate attributes and positioning for prominence in the app bar.

app/src/org/commcare/activities/connect/ConnectActivity.java (1)

165-165: LGTM! Excellent refactoring to centralize icon logic.

The change from manual icon selection to using MessageManager.getMessagingIcon(this) improves code maintainability and reduces duplication.

app/src/org/commcare/connect/MessageManager.java (1)

31-35: LGTM! Well-implemented centralized icon selection method.

The static method properly centralizes messaging icon logic, uses appropriate Android resource retrieval, and has clear conditional logic based on unviewed message state.

app/src/org/commcare/activities/StandardHomeActivity.java (8)

3-6: LGTM! Appropriate imports and field declaration.

All new imports are properly used throughout the implementation and the messagingMenuItem field follows naming conventions.

Also applies to: 12-12, 17-18, 31-31, 51-51


60-79: LGTM! Proper lifecycle management and messaging integration.

The onResume method correctly calls super first, conditionally handles messaging functionality, and properly registers the broadcast receiver for real-time updates.


81-86: LGTM! Clean broadcast receiver implementation.

The broadcast receiver properly handles messaging update notifications with a focused, simple implementation.


88-90: LGTM! Clear and appropriate messaging visibility logic.

The method properly determines messaging visibility based on PersonalID managed login state with a safe default behavior.


184-184: LGTM! Consistent menu item initialization.

The messaging menu item initialization follows the established pattern and is properly integrated with existing menu setup.


203-204: LGTM! Proper menu preparation with visibility control.

The messaging menu item visibility and icon updates are appropriately integrated into the menu preparation flow.


226-230: LGTM! Robust icon update method.

The method includes proper null checking and leverages the centralized MessageManager.getMessagingIcon() method for consistent icon management.


262-264: LGTM! Consistent menu item handling with proper navigation.

The messaging menu item handler follows the established pattern and uses the appropriate navigation helper for messaging functionality.

Support

Need help? Create a ticket on our support page for assistance with any issues or questions.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.
