New version of Click to chat (V 3.2)

V 3.2
- New openable mode: predefined
- Show 'check prefix' message as inline
- Translation updates



This started as V 3.1.3, but in a second beta was able to include a new openable mode (predefined) that hopefully helps some users to ensure the app works for the official WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business. I increased the versioning to V3.2 for this reason.

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 3.1)

V 3.1
- Moved buttons to the top of the input textboxes
- The prefix selector now shows the matching country
- Translation updates

[Edit: a new version was released to update a missing translation]



This update brings a feature (dynamic country indicator) that I wanted to make since I added the prefix selector in one of the first versions. Until now I wasn't sure how to implement it, and although I'm not sure that the way I finally did it is the best, it should work nonetheless (yay!). 

I hope that being able to check the country will help for those users that forget about it, or have it wrong, and it should also allow me in the future to implement better prefix detectors. But that's for another occasion.

Due to the need to have a bigger prefix button (to display the whole country) I decided to finally move all the buttons above the input textboxes. This also means more space for the numbers, which is something some users have requested.


By the way, does someone know why my Average data usage widget app suddenly have a 2000% more installs in the recent weeks??? According to the Play Store practically all of them are from India, so I suspect someone made a review or something (if so: thanks!!), but I wasn't able to find anything. If you know something about this please tell me as I'm genuinely interested!

New version of Click to Chat (V 3.0)

V 3.0
- New openable mode selector: includes the previous alternate mode, the experimental jid mode and a new sms mode
- Updated list of country codes
- Internal tweaks and fixes (including autoopen checkbox not displaying correctly)



Finally! A new version! but keep in mind it will probably stay as beta for a week or so.

Originally it was going to have only the updated list of country codes (lots of missing ones, and also internally they are saved in a slightly improved format now) but I managed to add the selectable opened mode too.

Previously there was a checkbox for an alternate mode, and also an experimental mode that I made to try to allow the Samsung dual messenger. Now you can choose between them in an easier way (careful with the experimental mode), but then I also added a new sms mode, which may or may not work with other social apps (including signal, which is a highly requested petition but I don't think they allow it), you can try it now yourself. This is a pretty big change, so I decided to set the version to 3.0.

Oh, and I also enabled the beta for the donation app too, it is the same as the non-donation, as it is explained in the description, but now you can also help me testing these new versions that way if you want.

New app: isUserAMonkey & isUserAGoat [curiosity]


Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trianguloy.isUserAMonkey

Github: https://github.com/TrianguloY/isUserAMonkey


New app!

This is just a small interactive curiosity. Did you know that in the Android SDK there is a function called 'isUserAMonkey' and another called 'isUserAGoat'?

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ActivityManager.html#isUserAMonkey()
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/UserManager.html#isUserAGoat()

With this app you can test them and learn a bit about their purpose.

The more you know.

New version of Click to chat (V 2.13.1)

V 2.13.1
- Updated translation to Brazilian Portuguese locale. Many thanks to mezysinc!
- Tweaked calls addon detection



Oops, I forgot to notify about this update.

It's just a full update of an existing translation. Also contains a simplification in how the addon is detected, because a user reported they couldn't use it with the donation version, and even though the code is exactly the same for both apps I noticed I was manually checking instead of using an existing android function. Hopefully it doesn't break for existing users (I tested and couldn't find any issues, and so far no one reported anything so I think it is ok).
