New version of Click to chat (V 2.11)

V 2.11
- New option: Restore prefix on close
- New option: Auto-open when a number is selected
- Fix reopened number when launched from recents
- Enabled animations
- Missing South Sudan prefix code



I wasn't planning to upload a new update so soon, however support since the previous version has increased slightly, but notably. This is like a thank you, specially for those who helped.

 

The update doesn't contains big changes, but still it contains some interesting ones.

First there is an often requested way of having a 'default prefix'. The way I finally implemented it is by disabling the update of the saved prefix, so you can edit it as much as you want, but when you close and open the app, the original will be instead (unless you open a number rock already contains a prefix, which will replace it that time but not on next opening).

The second notable change is a toggle to auto-open when selecting a number. This is like if the open button was pressed automatically (if possible) when a number is filled, either when pasting from the clipboard button, when choosing from the agenda screen (recents/pinned) but also when opening via a sharing intent. This allows to seamlessly open whatsapp from any app by selecting a number, and then clicking the app (if shown) or clicking share and then the app. Note that since the number may need to be edited (specially the prefix) when you press back the app is shown in order to try again if needed. There is also a fix for an issue that was opening the previous number when you launched the app from the recents screen (previously it simply pasted the number, but now it can also opens it so it was more notable).

The last and surely more interesting change is that I enabled the default animations (will only play on android +4.0 ). This was basically a one line of code (for each screen) and although the result could be a bit odd in some cases, in general the app seems to look smoother. In any case I'll check comments from beta users in case they report it to be confusing or needs more tweaking.
