## Summary
For awhile (since at least early last year), it has not been possible to scroll past the first screen of message history. I believe this was due to a version bump in some library, but I was not able to biset it at the time.
This changes how messages are loaded to work again. I like this solution better anyway, because it means one can smoothly scroll back in time without needing to stop every time you reach the top of the history.
BUG: 452946
## Test Plan
### Before:
Scrolling to the top of the kdeconnect-sms history would do nothing. You could only view the first handful of messages in the conversation (whichever messages the app decided to load for you when you first open the conversation).
### After:
Scrolling to the top of the list of messages will cause the app to load more, allowing you to view more history of messages.
## Summary
Fix the bug address for the SMS app.
BUG: 452055
## Test Plan
### Before:
Clicking the "Report Bug..." button in the about screen would give a permission denied error.
### After:
Clicking the "Report Bug..." button directs the user to bugzilla to report a new bug with the correct product and component already selected.
Use a singleton instead of context properties for data handling
Fix passing initial message
Make device menu creation more declarative
Fix initial device handling
Update current device when new instance with initial device is requested
## Summary
Fix crash in kdeconnect-sms if a conversation contains a message which has no addresses.
I am not sure why this would happen and there's probably something which should be fixed on the Android side to ensure that every message has addresses, but this is an easy fix to prevent user-reported crashes.
BUG: 449719
## Test Plan
### Before:
kdeconnect-sms crashes upon selecting a conversation with a message with no addresses
### After:
kdeconnect-sms does not crash
- Move the device combobox to the global drawer
- Move search field and new button to header
- Use Kirigami SearchField instead
- Don't switch focus away from search field when typing
- Give the New button an icon
- Clarify the search field text
- Center messages view loading indicator
- Make send and attach buttons stick to bottom of text area
- Make cursor an I-beam when hovering over text area
- Move send button to the right
- Give proper padding to messages view top
- Move refresh action to global drawer
- Show refresh button directly in loading message where it is most useful

This commit makes use of the Kirigami.PlaceholderMessage component
instead of a QML Label, also moves the placeholder message to be
inside the ListView.
## Summary
Replace the (deprecated and removed) reference to `Kirigami.Theme.viewBackgroundColor` with `Kirigami.Theme.backgroundColor`
This element is necessary in order to have theme hot-switching work correctly
BUG 434791
## Test Plan
### Before:
When using the KDE Connect SMS app in an un-modified dark theme, the message entry text box would be rendered as all white and text would correctly be rendered in white (making it un-readable).
This seems to be somehow related to a recent Kirigami version (it only happened to me after doing a distro upgrade and my ancient Kirigami installed to ~/.prefix does not reproduce the issue).
viewBackgroundColor was deprecated and apparently removed from Kirigami a version or two ago. Thus the coloring was no longer correct.
For screenshots and discussion, see [bug 434791](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434791)
### After:
Text and background are rendered in the expected colours for the theme.
On Plasma qqc2-desktop-style is used automatically, but not on other
DEs. Set it as a default and allow overriding it via environment
variables.
Also add it as a runtime dep so distros actually ship it.
We use kdeconnect-version.h in several places and therefore it needs to be in the include path. We currently do this by setting target_include_path in a few places. Replace this with an interface library that we can link against that sets up the correct include path. IMO it is cleaner this way.
Turn smshelper into a static library, which makes sense given it's only used internally at this point. This allows to get rid of some stuff.
Also cleanup other things.
While mostly theoretical it makes for a more expressive API since it communicates that it is a list instead of a single value. It also allows to get rid of some conversion code.
This is also preparation work for potentially using the custom type capabilities that QtDBus offers.
The current implementation seems to have an issue with an undetected binding loop that causes lockup. During investigation I figured that the code was way to complex and brittle for what we need.
This is a cleaner reimplementation. It also replaces the custom Avatar component with the one from Kirigami.
The looks are subject to tweaking of course
Launching smsapp prints:
qrc:/qml/main.qml:36: ReferenceError: _initialMessage is not defined
This patch applies the changes made to the property from C++ in
c17972881b to QML.
This automatizes the generation of logging categories so a
kdeconnect-kde.categories is generated and installed to
/usr/share/qlogging-categories5/ so kdebugsettings can use it.
Also, sets the default logging level to Warning. So now the logs
of users won't be filled with debug messages but they can
modify the configuration easily with kdebugsettings.
## Summary
This patch makes SMS message field scrollable and limits its height to ⅓
of window height (or ⅔ for smaller windows) so messages in conversation
are shown even when writing very long messages.
## Test Plan (and screenshots)
<small>These screenshots are in APNG and WEBP formats. Download them if
your browser does not support this format.</small>
### Before:
Message field height was not limited. Message field could be even higher
than window. That makes first lines of this field and messages in
conversation inaccessible.
### After:
Message field height is limited to ⅓ or ⅔ of window height. When text
content reaches this threshold, scroll bars will show up.
SMS character counter was changing its width (both growing and
shrinking) so it also resized message field (and that caused text
reflow). This patch makes counter width only grow.
Type SMS that is long enough to make SMS character counter wider than
“Send” button. Remove the text (leave there 150 or 60 chars to keep it
visible). Character counter should keep its width.
