Title: Is it possible to search for some text within the opened message?
Post by: StR on December 19, 2014, 07:11:04 pm
Is it possible to search for some particular text within the message that is open? I cannot find it.
Am I missing it somewhere?

Thank you!

Android used to provide is automatically (by long pressing inside message content), then they removed it in 4.4 and 5.0...

Sorry, not something I've had the time to implement yet.

Thank you, Kostya!

You'd be surprised, but I am on 4.1.2, because the updates for my model brought some serious problems.
So, your solution works for me for now.
... But it will not work on a new tablet, which I believe comes with 4.4.

It is not a bit deal! Don't worry!

Kostya,
You've done an unbelievable job with all the customizations you made available. I love it. But I have a theoretical question: does adding more customization possibilities make the app run slower because of increased file size? I've not noticed any slowdown so this is just a theoretical question I'm wondering about.

The app's size is still pretty small -- the current "fashion" for developing Android apps is:

"Grab three or four of Google's libraries to being with, then a dozen other libraries from GitHub, and if your app is 20 megabytes now, it's ok, just tell users they need newer devices..."

But I don't work that way (and I would be despised and laughed at if I worked for a "real" company.... "those old farts just don't get it").

What adding more stuff DOES do is -- feature X needs to work when setting Y is set to A or B or C... and oh, they're also affected by feature Z, because ....

So sometimes it gets kind of messy, handling all the combinations and permutations... and sometimes there are bugs that happen "only if X is enabled, and Y is set to B not A or C and Z is disabled".

I understand. Thanks for the explanation and keep up the excellent work.
