No reflow in Android 7

[H2Om]

I have AM on an Android 4 phone and can zoom in on the text and after tapping the text it reflows perfectly.
On my Android 7 phone I can zoom in but not reflow.

I'm using the latest pro version on both (unrooted) phones.

We removed reflow on zoom a few versions back (in 1.9), for a reason (a very good reason but of course not everyone agrees).

Feel free to search for "reflow", you'll want messages from summer 2017:

I'll never agree removing reflow as it is/was one of AMs top functions.

Besides of that Android 4 + AM 1.11.0-568 does reflow on zoom.
So what you wrote isn't correct. Perhaps you mean you stopped supporting reflow on newer Android versions?

Re: So what you wrote isn't correct. Perhaps you mean you stopped supporting reflow on newer Android versions?

What I wrote is correct *to the best of my knowledge* (and I was the one who made that code change).

Well, it still works on Android 4.
What's the latest version that also supported Android 7?
Then I'll upgrade to that verson.

No answer?
Kostya, I know you are the programmer and I also know as a fact AM still reflows on my Google/Samsung Nexus running Android 4.
In fact it works better than any version ever worked on Android 6 or 7.
Over a year ago we had email contact. I mailed you a message from a mailing list that didn't reflow. You answer was that it was due to the use of fixed width in the HTML code. (or something similar).
I just accepted that as a fact back then.

Unfortunately my Android 6 phone didn't work during my vacation in the USA; so I bought a Nexus for $50.
And that phone did and still reflows. It also perfectly reflows the above messages from the mailing list.

Both phones use AM pro version 1.12.0-651

Attached proof of the reflowing.

Found this old short thread on reflowing: https://www.aqua-mail.com/forum/index.php?topic=5271.msg30941#msg30941

I start having huge doubts we are talking about the same thing.
You stated it's your code you added and later removed.

I think it's not your code at all. It's Google code.
You claim you removed the reflow code. Could be so but it makes absolutely zero difference on my  Android 4 phone. I still have to find a single email that does not reflow on that phone. It perfectly reflows even with the most current AquaMail. I tried older versions too. Zero difference.


However on my other Android 7 phone reflow doesn't work with old or new versions of AquaMail.

Could it be that 'your' code was just a different version of Google's webkit?

Um, dunno. I just know what I did.

Re: Could it be that 'your' code was just a different version of Google's webkit?

No, we made a change in our code, definitely positively absolutely.

As for "different versions of webkit" - the "10,000 ft view" is like this:

- Android 1.0 - 4.3 - WebView uses a snapshot of Chromium code

- Android 4.4 - snapshot of Chromium code updated

- Android 5.0 - 6.0 - WebView is update-able through Google Play, as "Android System WebView"

- Android 7.0+ - WebView is provided by Chrome "app"
