voice_*.m4aare now sent as message typevoice(not genericaudio). - Fixed audio replay behavior: when playback reaches the end, next play restarts from
0:00. - Improved duration display in audio/voice player by adding metadata fallback when
MediaPlayerduration is not immediately available.
Step 74 - UI references consolidation (Batch 4)
- Added full Telegram reference mapping checklist (
docs/android-ui-batch-4-checklist.md) with screenshot-by-screenshot description. - Added explicit icon policy: no emoji icons in production UI components, Material Icons/vector icons only.

ChatDao.markChatRead(chatId)to clearunread_countandunread_mentions_countin Room. - Applied optimistic local unread reset on
markMessageRead(...)in message repository. - Fixed realtime unread logic: incoming messages in currently active chat no longer increment unread badge.
Step 86 - Chats list visual pass toward Telegram reference
- Updated chats list row density: tighter vertical rhythm, larger avatar, stronger title hierarchy, cleaner secondary text.
- Restyled archive as dedicated list row with leading archive icon avatar, subtitle, and unread badge.
- Kept search in top app bar action and changed search field default to collapsed (opens via search icon).
- Returned message-type emoji markers in chat previews:
🖼photo,🎤voice,🎵audio,🎥video,⭕circle video,🔗links.
Step 87 - Chats list micro-typography and time formatting
- Refined chat row typography hierarchy to be closer to Telegram density:
- title/body/presence font scale aligned and single-line ellipsis for long values.
- Tightened unread/mention badge sizing and spacing for compact right-side metadata.
- Updated trailing time formatter:
- today:
HH:mm, - this week: localized short weekday,
- older:
dd.MM.yy.
- today:
Step 88 - Chats list interaction states (menu/select/search)
- Added default overflow menu (
⋮) state in chats header with Telegram-like quick actions UI. - Added long-press multi-select mode for chat rows with:
- top selection bar (
count, action icons), - dedicated overflow menu for selected chats.
- top selection bar (
- Added dedicated search-mode state in chats screen:
- search field + section chips (
Chats/Channels/Apps/Posts), - horizontal recent avatars strip,
- list filtered by active query.
- search field + section chips (
Step 89 - Chats actions wiring + duplicate menu fix
- Removed duplicated overflow action in chats top bar (single
⋮remains in default mode). - Wired selection actions to behavior:
- delete selected -> leave selected chats,
- archive selected -> switch to archived section,
- non-implemented bulk actions now show explicit user feedback.
- Wired default menu actions:
- create group/channel -> open management panel,
- saved -> open saved chat if present,
- unsupported items show clear feedback instead of silent no-op.
Step 90 - Fullscreen chats search redesign (Telegram-like)
- Reworked chats search mode into a fullscreen flow:
- top rounded search field with inline clear button,
- horizontal category chips (
Chats,Channels,Apps,Posts), - dedicated recent avatars row for the active category.
- Added search-mode content states:
- empty query ->
Recentlist block (history-style chat rows), - non-empty query -> local matches +
Global searchandMessagessections.
- empty query ->
- Kept search action in chats top bar; while search mode is active, app bar switches to back-navigation + empty title (content drives the page).
Step 91 - Search history/recent persistence + clear action
- Added
ChatSearchRepositoryabstraction andDataStoreChatSearchRepositoryimplementation. - Persisted chats search metadata in
DataStore:- recent opened chats list,
- search history list (bounded).
- Wired chats fullscreen search to persisted data:
- green recent avatars strip now reads saved recent chats,
- red
Recentlist now reads saved history with fallback.
- Connected
Очиститьaction to real history cleanup inDataStore. - On opening a chat from search results/messages/history, the chat is now stored in recent/history.
Step 92 - Search filter leak fix on exit
- Fixed chats search state leak: leaving fullscreen search now resets local/global query.
- Main chats list no longer stays filtered by previous search input after returning from search mode.
Step 93 - Fullscreen search UX polish
- Added system back-handler for search mode with safe query reset.
- Improved fullscreen search result sections:
Показать больше / Свернутьtoggle for global users,Показать больше / Свернутьtoggle for message results.
- Added explicit empty-state text when local/global/message search sections all have no results.
Step 94 - Pinned-only drag markers in selection mode
- Updated chats multi-select row UI: drag markers are now shown only for pinned chats.
- Non-pinned chats no longer render reorder marker in selection mode.
Step 95 - Selection badge on avatar (Telegram-like)
- Added explicit selection indicator directly on chat avatars in multi-select mode:
- selected chat -> colored circle with check icon,
- unselected chat -> empty outlined circle.
- This matches the reference behavior and makes selected rows easier to scan.
Step 96 - Selection menu labels and behavior polish
- Updated multi-select top actions/menu to be closer to Telegram reference in wording.
- Added dynamic
Закрепить/Открепитьlabel in selection overflow based on selected chats pinned state. - Kept non-supported actions explicit with user feedback (Toast), avoiding silent no-op behavior.
