Summary:
Update sms app model to use new conversationUpdated signal
Filter incoming messages which belong to a different conversation than the one currently being viewed
See Android-side diff D15360 which adds support for sending live updates when a new message is sent or received
Test Plan:
This patch relies on D15360 for Android-side support
- Positive case:
- Open a conversation in the SMS app
- Receive a new message into that conversation (text yourself?)
- Verify that the new message appears at the bottom of the appropriate conversation
- Negative case:
- Open a conversation in the SMS app
- Receive a new message into a different conversation (text yourself?)
- Verify that the new message does *not* appear in the open conversation

Summary:
Drop support for creating notifications from the SMS plugin. The old usecase is better handled by the notifications plugin reply box anyway
Rename packets defined in SMS plugin from PACKET_TYPE_TELEPHONY_* to PACKET_TYPE_SMS_*
Update TELEPHONY plugin packet description to point to SMS plugin
Define TELEPHONY_REQUEST_MUTE packet to replace old TELEPHONY_REQUEST with mute event field
Please see Android-side patch here: D15544
Test Plan:
I see four test cases, based on the version of the app being used, where "old" means any version built with sources not containing this revision and "new" means any version built with sources using this revision:
- New Android vs. New Desktop
- Supported and works for me
- New Android vs. Old Desktop
- Supported and works for me
- Old Android vs. New Desktop
- Not supported - Download a new app from the Play store or F-Droid
- Old Android vs. Old Desktop
- If this is broken, it is not my fault :)
In the supported use cases:
- Test SMS reply
- Receive SMS (or MMS!) message
- Verify that the //notification// plugin forwards a replyable notification and that replying works
- Test incoming call ringer mute
- Enable ringer volume (not vibrate)
- Receive phone call
- Verify a desktop notification with a Mute button appears
- Verify that clicking the mute button causes the phone to stop making the ringer noise (vibration not affected)

Test Plan:

- Either send or recieve an SMS
- Wait about 5s (I do not know why this is necessary. Probably some Android weirdness)
- De-select the current conversation, then re-select it
- TODO: Make the app automatically respond to new messages
- The newly sent or recieved message should be shown in the most-recent position

Summary:
For real usecases of SMS support, we will almost always need access to the message history in some way
Specifically resolve T8338
Incidentally resolve T6651 since Telephony shall no longer create a notification
Test Plan:
Setup:
- Build corresponding Android-side diff (D11698)
- Build this diff
Step 1: Does anything at all work?
- Put a breakpoint in the handleBatchMessages method of the telephony plugin, ideally after constructing a Message object
- Use DBus to poke /modules/kdeconnect/devices/<deviceID>/telephony.requestAllConversations()
- Verify that the constructed Message is one you sent or received and that it is the most recent in the corresponding conversation
Step 2: DBus
- Open the Interface org.kde.kdeconnect.device.conversations of /modules/kdeconnect/devices/<deviceId>
- Poke activeConversations and verify an empty array is returned
- Poke requestAllConversationThreads
- Poke activeConversations and verify that a list of numbers has been returned. These are conversationIds
- Use a conversationId to call getFirstFromConversation
- Verify that the returned Message object is one which you recognize
- Note that if the message is an MMS it will be blank and meaningless. Try a different conversationId. MMS support "coming soon!"
Step 3: SMS App
- Use ccmake (or similar) to set SMSAPP_ENABLE to ON
- Build the project
- Run ./bin/kdeconnect-sms
- Verify that the app shows a list of everyone you have an SMS conversation with (MMS messages are stripped out)
- If you have the Contacts plugin working, verify that most contacts have their name and photo instead of their phone number

Summary:
Add a plugin to KDE Connect which supports exporting the Android contacts databases to vcards on the desktop
When the devices are connected, the plugin sends a request for all timestamps and IDs
When a packet with timestamps and IDs is received, it verifies it has vcards for each ID and that the timestamps match and deletes any vcards for IDs which were not reported. It then sends a request for all vcards which were missing or need updating
When a packet with vcards is received they are unconditionally written to disk, possibly overwriting existing vcards
Provides one dbus method: contacts/synchronizeRemoteWithLocal which triggers the request for all timestamps and IDs
BUG: 367999
Test Plan:
Connect the device to the desktop and verify that vcards are created in QStandardPaths::GenericDataLocation / kpeoplevcard". On my system this is ~/.local/share/kpeoplevcard

Summary:
If MPRIS players were appearing and disappearing multiple times, the
OrgFreedesktopDBusPropertiesInterface & OrgMprisMediaPlayer2PlayerInterface
instances created for listening to the signals had been accumulating and
thus resulting in X signals per X restarted player, because the instances
were not deleted when a player disappeared.
Additionally were instances of them created on the fly on the stack in
some of the methods, instead of reusing the existing ones.
This patch changes that by introducing a class MprisPlayer which holds all
data & instances per player. This allows to look up the respective
interfaces instances to reuse them as well as properly controlling their
lifetime.
Test Plan:
Starting and restarting multiple MPRIS players (incl. multiple instances of
the same player app) works as expected as befire. They are listed on the
Android Media control as well as have proper states there when selected.
Additionally no longer multiple change signals are emitted if restarting a
player.

REVIEW: 130050
Allow to inject keypress events to remote peers (most notably Android devices)
Notes / open issues / possible improvements:
- For the json-payload I used the syntax of the key-events as sent by mousepad-plugin with the addition of a "sendAck"-flag. If "sendAck" is set to true the remote peer should echo a key-event if it could be handled, thus allowing the local client to find out whether the key was accepted. For performance reasons, it's allowed to send multi-char strings in the "key" property (performs much better if you send a whole string via "echo '...' | kdeconnect-cli ..." e.g.)
- kdeconnect-cli: For now takes a string and transforms it into single key-events for visible characters only. In a first implementation I used a kbhit() helper that used termios.h to catch and relay keypresses interactively (including some special-events), which was not optimal. A better approch might be to use linux input-api directly. Would this be an option regarding cross-platform compatibility or can I assume to develop for Linux only? Being a command-line guy, I'd really like to have a fully featured kdeconnect-cli interface ;-)
- Factor out the Qt::Key-to-internal keymap to some core-helper because it corresponds to the mapping in the mousepad-plugin?
- The plasmoid is not perfect as it is: A single line containing a non-echoing TextField (i.e. it eats all the KeyPress events), and only ack-ed keypress-packets from the peer device are injected if they contain visible keys. Advantage: the user sees whether his key-presses are accepted by the peer device. Disadvantage: The echoed text does not correspond 1:1 to what is shown on the peer's display, user might be confused when typing without success. I played around with different variations each of which with its proper shortcomings:
1. An echoing Textfield for typing: Has the advantage that the user can directly see what he is typing, which makes interaction in the typing field easier, BUT messes up interaction if the Editor on the peer is changed silently and does not notify the user if his keypresses are not handled by the peer.
2. A non-echoing TextField for typing PLUS a readonly one for printing visible echoed keys. Disadvantage: same as for the previous one and uses more space on the plasmoid.
Comments? Ideas?
