New version of Click to Chat (V 2.5)

Never though I will finally be able to do this, but I did! And it wasn't too hard.
This version has no visible changes to the user (or shouldn't, if there are they are a bug!). Instead what I did was rework almost all of the code. It is a big internal change, I almost labeled it as V3, but since there are no visual changes, I decided to simply set it as V 2.5 (sorry V 2.3 and V2.4, you will never exist).

This app started as a simple one-class app, but as time passed and little features were added, the app grown and that 'small' class become a real mess. I was able to implement some 'helper classes', but the main class was very long and full of interactions between functions. It was difficult to maintain.

For the record, in V2.2.1 the app had 11 small classes, and one monstrous one. Now it has 22 small classes. The code is almost the same in both versions and the interactions too, it is more or less just reorganized, but being modular allows for a better maintenance of the different parts. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to implement some more bigger changes now! (can't promise). Anyway, it was interesting and fun to do. The best part is that the size of the apk incremented just a few KB (93.9kb->100kb). I was expecting it, but not so small! (in fact I though it would be doubled and that it was going to be discarded, but seeing the results it will stay. Also the download size by play store is even less than before...not sure why but I won't complain).

I plan to implement a small little thing too for the stable version, and I'll upload this as alpha (for automatic google-play tests), then as beta (to check how it behaves on users) and finally after probably a few weeks as stable.

[Update]

The alpha test was successful so I'm keeping the changes and published as beta. I also managed to implement the other important change: now when pasting from the clipboard (or when sharing as text) there is an actual not-dummy parser! yay! Previously the parser simply removed all non-digits numbers, but now it will scan the string for separated numbers, and if more than one is shown it will even ask! How cool is that? Still the 'prefix separator' is very basic, I'm not using any external library, but the improvement is notable.

Current status: stable

V 2.5
- Improved number detector on clipboard paste and text shared, asks if multiple numbers found
- Internal rework of the code

New version of Click to chat (V 2.2.1)

Really small update, but better than nothing (I guess)

Current status: Stable

Changelog:
V 2.2.1
- Updated Russian (new string from previous version)
- Fixed saved recent numbers (numbers were not saved properly and when restoring the prefix was lost)

New version of Click to chat (V 2.2)

Long time no see!
I'm sorry for the lack of updates recently, I hope to be able to publish some more updates in the near future (I hope...).
From now here is another quick update mainly to fix the addon link, but I managed to implement a suggestion to disable the recents (for those of you concerned about security).

I have some big updates I want to make on my interminable TODO list, but as usual time/external work are restrictions that I can't remove.

I'm also going to stop posting two posts for beta/stable versions. I'll just update the first one (this).

---

Current state: Stable version published

V 2.2
- Addon link fixed
- Added option to disable saving recent numbers/messages
- Placed elements outside scrolling area

New version of Click to chat (V 2.1)

Quick update:

V 2.1
- More reliable way to find compatible apps (long click uses the old way)

New stable version of Click to Chat (V 2.0.3)

This is a really small update, just the new texts from the Russian translation. However they were 'send' to me by a pull request from Github and I must say that this way is much easier than by email. Still, I also accept files by email, I know Github (git in general) is not very user friendly for beginners.

Also, I received a translation for the Kannada Play Store texts, thanks to Aditya. Now when visiting the Play Store in this language the texts will be translated. Unfortunately the texts of the app are not translated to this language yet.

This is all from now. I hope a new version comes soon.

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).
