New version of Click to chat (V 3.1.1) + new addon version (V 1.3)

V 3.1.1
- Fixed crash on startup

Addon:
- Fixed an incompatibility with the Click to chat Donation version.

---

Just a quick crashfix for a relatively common crash with the new prefix indicator.

Also, I just discovered why people were having issues while using the addon in the donation version. If you experienced such problems please update the addon to version 1.3.

New version of click to chat (V 2.8.3) + addon (V 1.2)

V 2.8.3
- Option to limit unknown calls list. Requires Addon version 1.2+
- Fixed recent messages list not shown
- Internal change related to publication

---

A new version of click to chat, with just a fix and a minor but very requested change regarding the addon. Now you can limit the amount of recent numbers to show (1-10, or disabled) so that it is a lot faster to load. This unfortunately requires a new version of the addon, which due to not be possible to be available on play store you need to manually update it, just by downloading and installing the new apk.

I also changed the way the app is published, and hopefully (if nothing breaks) next version will have a very interesting new way of using the app.

More new versions of OIW

This is just a quick update, but a somehow important nonetheless.

Boring stuff: I moved to stable the beta version of the add-on, I don't see any errors and I'm confident this version fixes that particular crash a lot of people were reporting.

Not so boring stuff: I added a new stable version of the main app, without beta (there aren't any code-breaking changes, so nothing can break (now is when everything breaks)). The big change, as you probably noticed, is the change of the app name from 'Open in WhatsApp (click to chat)' to simply 'Click to chat'.
And why? Because WhatsApp suddenly thought that it would be a good idea to start reporting apps with 'WhatsApp' in their name (since the addition of WhatsApp stickers. The story is a bit longer and there are a lot of threads regarding this topic).
As I have nothing to gain (remember: free and no ads) and a lot to lose (the developer account) I don't mind changing the name. I just hope users doesn't get confused with the change...who I am kidding of course you are going to get confused, but I can do nothing (I'm not Jevil). The app is still the same, it just changed its name, and I plan to keep making updates for you to enjoy (and for me to learn).

New versions of OIW

Fixes, cosmetic changes, and more!

So, since the previous version was published, around 1000 users tried the addon. It seem to be working fine and you seem to like it, so I published it as stable (V 1.0), and at the same time I published a new beta (V 1.1) with a fix for a crash when the task was force-canceled (by opening the recents apps menu for example). As it seems some of you don't like to wait, I added a cancel button to stop the task too. Will be on stable very soon, probably.

For the main app, I think the beta version is stable enough, so I published it as stable (V 2.0.1). I hope nothing breaks...I don't know...I'll keep a close look on the developer console just in case. This version just contains cosmetic changes, no code changes, so I don't think I'll get new errors (just angry comments).

And finally, some words about the donation link: In the previous version I included a link to the donation app, because some of you asked for donations even when I have the app for this purpose. As expected some wonderful users bought it, 2 to be exact (previously were 5), and although it may seem like nothing, it means that some people out there like my work, and that's a feeling and motivation only creative types understand. Thank you.

New beta version of Open in WhatsApp (V 2.0)

-This is a new beta version which...wait a minute. Version 2.0?
-Yes
-Does it add the ability to change themes?
-No
-Does it detects the prefix number automatically?
-Not yet
-Does it allows to retrieve the list of recent calls?
-Yes, sort of
-Does it...wait what? Really?

Yes, you hear it right! This new version may not be a big visual addition, in fact just by installing it the main dialog doesn't change. However internally it contains the code to show the list of recent unknown calls, and believe me, it wasn't easy.
I hate (really hate) apps with absurd size, absurd permissions, and absurd ads. That's why my apps are are small as possible, with only the necessary... [yea, yea, we get it, go on].
This app had no permissions at all, and adding some when it is already published not only betrays my principles, but also you need to manually accept the update from Play Store, it isn't automatic. And I didn't want that, and for this reason until now this highly requested feature was never implemented.

But then I found a very easy, funny, and interesting way for it to happen, without adding the permissions. By having a secondary app with them, that second app is able to 'transfer' the permissions to the first one (because I own both, it is not possible to transfer permissions between random apps).
I had everything set, all working, but then...problems. It doesn't work with apps already in the Play Store without an specific setting (sharedUserId). And I didn't have it. :(
But I wasn't going to stop, I choose to implement it the alternative (and not so easy) way of having a secondary app which provide the service. This is a lot more prone to errors, but still. I'll fix them while I can.

So, this is the new feature you will find. In the about tab a new button with a small description will be shown. Clicking the button will open the Play Store of the new Addon, and installing it will show a new button in the main dialog (of the original app) with a telephone symbol. Click it, and the list of unknown recent calls will be shown...hopefully.

Now, more than ever, I need the help of you beta testers. This is a BIG update, and I can't risk pushing it to stable without being sure it is usable. Thank you.


The changelog is:
V 2.0
