GetStream/stream-chat-android v5.10.0 on GitHub

stream-chat-android-client

Improving precision in time in the endpoint that syncs information between SDK and Stream's backend to make sure that undesired events are not coming due to a incorrect round down in time or desired events are not being ignored due to a incorrect round up of time when serializing/desirializing time in the SDK. #4102

Added ChatEvent.rawDate to access the time of an event as it was sent by the backend. This class includes microseconds precision and can be used when a higher precision than miliseconds is desired. #4102
Added Handling User Connection guide. #4131
Supported Android 13 behaviour changes. #4039

Improved slow mode countdown which is now started only after the message is sent to the server. #4120

Clicking or long clicking on the white spaces next to messages will no longer trigger listeners, from now on, only clicking on the actual message containers will. #4151

Added the MessageListView::showMessageOptionsDialog method to show message options dialog. #4127
Added styled attribute streamUiGiphyMediaAttachmentSizingMode and it's programmatic counterpart GiphyMediaAttachmentViewStyle.sizingMode. This parameters controls the way Giphy containers resize themselves. For a care free experience use adaptive resizing which will intelligently adapt its size while respecting the gif's aspect ratio. We recommend using adaptive resizing, however if you require more control use manual mode. #4134
Added styled attributes streamUiGiphyMediaAttachmentWidth, streamUiGiphyMediaAttachmentHeight, streamUiGiphyMediaAttachmentDimensionRatio and their programmatic counterparts contained within GiphyMediaAttachmentViewStyle that are width, height and dimensionRatio. These values are used to exert more control over Giphys. They are ignored if sizing mode is set to adaptive and respected if it is set to manual. #4134

Exposed MessageOptionsDialogFragment so that clients are able to create and show the dialog manually. #4127
🚨 Breaking change: streamUiGiphyMediaAttachmentGiphyType and its programmatic counterpart GiphyMediaAttachmentViewStyle.giphyType no longer change the container size. Container sizing has been decoupled from giphy scale type which now only controls the quality of the gif itself. If you need fixed sizes, set the sizing mode to manual and manipulate the container by setting custom width, height and if needed dimension ratio and scale type. Please check the added section for the full names of the new attributes. #4134

Improved the way Giphy attachments are displayed. Instead of being cropped they can now be set to either respect the Giphy attachment's aspect ratio and adaptively resize themselves automatically or be manually sized in a fixed way by the user. #4027
Added the ability to control Giphy quality, sizing mode and content scaling by adding the parameters GiphyInfoType (controls quality), GiphySizingMode (controls sizing) and contentScale (controls scaling) to the functions StreamAttachmentFactories.defaultFactories(), GiphyAttachmentFactory() and GiphyAttachmentContent(). #4027

Added GiphySizingMode, an enum class used to control the way Giphys are displayed. When GiphySizingMode.ADAPTIVE is passed in as an argument it will make Giphy automatically resize themselves to fill available space while respecting their original aspect ratios, while GiphySizingMode.FIXED_SIZE will allow you to manually control the dimensions of the Giphy container in a fixed size manner. You can clip the maximum height and width in both cases by modifying ChatTheme.attachmentsContentGiphyMaxWidth and attachmentsContentGiphyMaxHeight. GiphySizingMode can be passed in as an argument to the following functions: StreamAttachmentFactories.defaultFactories(), GiphyAttachmentFactory() and GiphyAttachmentContent(). #4027
Added parameters attachmentsContentGiphyMaxWidth and attachmentsContentGiphyMaxHeight to StreamDimens. These parameters can be used to control the maximum dimensions of Giphys in either sizing mode. #4027
