Description Simon Redman 2018-09-20 23:39:29 UTC
To reproduce:
 - Prepare some conversation with an MMS (send a picture to yourself, etc.)
 - Launch fresh kdeconnectd
   - Re-connect phone if needed
 - Launch kdeconnect-sms

This does *not* happen if an MMS is received while a conversation is in progress: That message will simply be dropped. It is due to MMS not being handled (on both the Android and KDE side), but Android checks the combined sms/mms database to get the first message in every conversation when requested

Solution: MMS support
Comment 1 Simon Redman 2018-10-10 14:58:47 UTC
The Android app currently has no support for forwarding MMS messages, regardless of whether they are all-text or if they involve multimedia

[SMSApp] Support plain-text MMS

## Summary

Not having support for MMS caused some minor problems, like in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398889 . This patch adds basic MMS support for plain-text MMS, including multi-target messages.

Android companion to https://invent.kde.org/kde/kdeconnect-kde/merge_requests/97

Currently there are several rough areas:
  - Multi-target messages do not have the full list of recipients (I am planning to work on this in another patch, because this one is already quite large enough)
  - Parsing MMS is significantly slower than parsing SMS. This makes sense, since we need to make significantly many more content:// calls for MMS. The only solution I can think of here is to add the ability to request a range of messages, which I need to do anyway, but which should not be part of this patch.
  - The desktop app is totally busted with regard to multi-target MMS, but that will also be fixed in another MR

## Test Plan

### Before:
Open SMS app on desktop, scroll through conversations, notice:
  - Any single-target message which had the most-recent message as an MMS does not appear
  - Any multi-target MMS conversations do not appear

### After:
Open SMS app on desktop, notice:
  - Conversations which have an MMS as their most-recent message appear
  - MMS which consisted of only text are rendered correctly
  - Multi-target conversations are shown (though pretty busted, as said before. Do not attempt to reply to one!)

Technically, this also needs https://invent.kde.org/kde/kdeconnect-kde/merge_requests/97 in order to be fully resolved, but that patch will be merged soon enough

[SMS App] Basic plain-text MMS support

## Summary

Desktop companion to https://invent.kde.org/kde/kdeconnect-android/merge_requests/78

Give desktop SMS app a basic understanding of the MMSes coming from Android:
- Show a fake body if we get an attachment we can't display (for now, any attachment)
- Display a fake contact header for multi-target messages since Android does not yet export multi-target address information
- Disable attempting to reply to multi-target messages

## Test Plan
### Before:
MMS messages were silently dropped, meaning:
 - Group MMS conversations were not visible
 - Single-target conversations with the most-recent message an MMS were not visible

### After:
 - Install https://invent.kde.org/kde/kdeconnect-android/merge_requests/78
 - Multi-target conversations are displayed (kind of ugly, since they have no contact information
 - Single-target conversations which end with an MMS are displayed
 - Plain-text MMS is displayed nicely
 - MMS attachments don't show
   - MMS which are only an attachment with no body are displayed with a dummy body
