Haha it is fine to post questions like that here, just note that while you are here, i will probably be explaining things in the easiest way for me, which is in terms of the actual programming, because it is expected that you know some or are at least familiar with it since you are on xda. I know this may not be the case though every time, so i will try my best... That is all i meant by that.

I will just go down the line here:

- It should be filled by the name if it can be, we set the visibility to View.GONE to extend the textview from the name all the way to the side of the fragment, seems to be working fine to me...

- I am not actually sure about this one, i don't know if you can disable hyperlinks in textviews or not. i will look into it.

- No, you can't do that. We want it to stay in a conversation style look, not just a list of messages.

- I have never had this happen, so if you can get a set of steps to replicate it, then i will attempt to fix it, if not, there isn't much i can do to debug something like that.

- It is because it is refreshing the conversation list and messages, if we don't do this, then the conversations would get out of order, if i understand you right at least.

- Yes i know.

- i guess i don't know what you mean there, we just use the navigation drawer and are going to be sticking with that style because it is better from a developement perspective, we don't want to take you to a new activity to compose if that is what you are asking, it defeats the purpose on one sliding interface to do everything in the app.

- The messages should only be marked as read after you have slid past them. The pitch black theme has no color indicators, but all of the other ones do.

Appreciate it.

Ok. :(

Will do, if I spend more time with app.

Not familar with this programming language's syntax, but would it be possible to store the current conversation name/ID in a variable and then have that conversation be selected after the refresh is performed?

I guess i'm looking for ways to customize the drawer that pops out to compose a new message. Aesthetically it may look neat to see the conversation faded in the background, but functionally it's a waste of real estate. It just occurred to me that this may be what you are calling the "slide over". If so, then disregard as I know you aren't fielding questions/suggestions on this feature at this time.

This would explain it, as I am using that theme.

The no-change to the conversation style is likely going to be a deal breaker for me. I appreciate your taking the time to respond and will help if I can with some of the issues i mentioned.

I am on Cosmote Greece. I added the MMS settings manually. There was no preset available but I will try the auto finder as well.

Update.

I tested automatic and I get the error message. I noticed that unless you put the http:// in front of the mmsc url field you will always get the error. For sure there is a problem cause it also brakes the 3g connection.

nice app

the idea is great i hope this app has many features :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Christiancs1969:
I've been using from day one:) and I'm always finding new features ;) it's great
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] matdestr:
Can i use it without my stock messaging app ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Actionx1:
Can you share what font is used in the app. It looks great.

multiple messages indicator on popup

I've noticed that when i'm using the popup feature and i get messages from multiple people, there is no indicator telling me the number of received messages on the popup. the standard popup will usually say "1 of 2" and you can swipe between them. it would be cool to have that feature on this popup too. Love the app though, it's come a long way from when it first emerged. :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
Just use the slideover popup. It is the full app and will let you see all your conversations, not just the new ones

It is just the roboto light font, you can get it from the android developers site i think

Yup, just go to advanced settings and check the override stock option

You won't find many apps with this many customizations and features

Hello There...

It's a cool app.. I like it..

Ok, i have some ideas...

First, when i tap and hold/ tap on conversation, message or what ever it show me pop up message right? Ok.. it's a problem this - i must to tap back buton to hide this pop up.... make please to hide this pop up only when i touch anywhere outside....

and next idea.... butons- call contact, attach and new mesage to be at the bottom. but they will be hide,and if u want it u must to slide up... becouse for some mobiles this is advantage.. like s4 (and most whit big size..). this is for now .

thanks :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
We just use android dialog box for that message details screen if that is what you are talking about. It definitely closes on an outside touch for me, so maybe with your s4, samsung changed some of the functionality of it, because it works just how you described it already

As for the buttons, i don't think we will do this. Those types of buttons were meant to be in the action bar, where they are now. That is how the action bar was designed and that is what its purpose is. There is a split action bar availible to android that places some things at the bottom of the screen, but it doesn't make sense for use to use it design-wise because we already have the send bar at the bottom of the screen and we don't want two of them taking up that space, it wouldnt look good and it wouldn't fit in the design guidelines
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] venci_ty:
Aha.. i understand, but i think u don't understand me.. i just say this botons to be in hide bar over send bar. like u just see message but u don't want to text, and just "drag" send bar a little bit on top, and botons will show there...I think this will be more comfortable for big screen.. and maybi this option to be in settings and if anybody want it just to chek it. :)

For this whit dialog box... i believe whit new update will be allright this :)

sorry for bad language

Here's a log: http://db.tt/1iwZ9VeC

Message load limited.

Classic UI.

When I 'cut' from the "To" field, app crashes.

It's also very sluggish when starting up and throughout.

I'm using an S3 - a high end device. If it is like this on my phone, I don't know what it's like for others...

Edit: I've had to enable "Disable HW overlays" and "Force GPU rendering" to get anywhere near a pleasant experience. It also seems there is more lag with a keyboard like SwiftKey - I've never experienced this with another app.

P.S. I understand not everyone experiences the lag, but I do amongst others.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] asl9622:
I know has been stated before but my bugs are the reply in notification drawer will not open the most recent message but the first unread message. Secondly I would love to be able to disable drafts for now until that gets worked out. If I don't want to apply it there is no way to dismiss. Keeps popping up. Great product though. Only two bugs that bother me.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mmegalodon:
Agreed about the drafts issue. A bit frustrating as it currently stands. Auto insert drafts is my current solution to this matter, but not ideal.

Congrats on taking the next step, Klink(s), and look forward to what's next. :thumbup:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg:
I'm not sure, but I have absolutely no problems with deleting drafts... Just like any other app, to get rid of them insert them and then delete all the text. Only difference is you may need to slide to the next page or something to get that change to fix. Do that and you won't have any problems with them.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mmegalodon:
I suppose it could be a mix of lag from my phone coupled with stuttering from the app, but the draft toast seems a bit too brief for me and, at times, seems to flash and dismiss more quickly than it should. The notification pops up at contacts list and doesn't come back even when I go to that conversation. As mentioned, sliding to another conversation and back triggers it again, but it appears that the occasional stutter can result in its dismissal too quickly. I've found myself getting caught in a back and forth with it. I'm not sure 'fix' was the right word as this could also be a result of my phone's natural(?) lag. Not having the app set to open at contact list seems to help the issue, but I prefer it that way. I suppose I'll just get used to the auto insert option.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Fenuxx:
It isn't that I don't appreciate it. I do, and as I said in my original post, I think it's a fantastic idea, and the reason I supported it is, again, I like the idea and wanted to support the development.

What I don't agree with is increasing prices and having paid add-ons for a product that clearly still has many fundamental design/usage issues. Of course, that is my opinion to have, and yes, it is your app, and you can do with it as you please.

I've submitted bug reports when the app crashes/hangs, so unless you aren't getting the reports, I don't know what to say on the matter of not having any idea as to what's going on. I know others have also reported the issues I'm having on the G+ beta page, as well as on the Play store. I'm more than happy to work with you to solve the problems.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Cyrene:
I have tried exactly this, but it doesn't work for me. Sometimes it comes back a few texts later. The only way I van get rid of it is to delete it in stock. But I know my phone is weird like that!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Faaipke:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Fenuxx:
I think part of the issues everyone seems to be having might be a result of code bloat. Comparing the 3 SMS apps I have installed, they are as follows (I included Facebook messenger for the lulz, and since it technically can be an SMS app):

Handcent SMS: 7.61MB app + 108KB data

Sliding Messaging: 21.30MB app + 32KB data + 2.49MB Theme Engine

Textra: 2.12MB app + 1.31MB data

Facebook Messenger: 18.42MB app + 0.95MB data

That's a pretty hefty difference in size. Obviously, Textra is the smallest, since it's the lightest of the bunch (both on features, and on resources). But to be almost 3x the size of Handcent, and over 3x the size of Handcent when you take into account the theme engine (which arguably adds the visual customization features found in the base Handcent app). It's even bigger than Facebook messenger, which is definitely odd.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
I believe that most of those other ones have plugins for emojis though. Since we include them by default, the app will be bigger by default.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GatoL0c0:
I thought that's how it should work but when I delete the text, the "apply" popup comes back afterwards. O_o
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dj Telo:
I agree with absolutely everything you have said. I love the idea of this app, but it is far from being 100% usable.

Besides, although I respect the strategy of the developers, I am deceived by the elimination of the free version of the app. I was waiting for the app to be improved to gladly buy the pro version, but that will probably not happen now.

I will read this thread from time to time to see if the situation changes but, by the moment, I am going to look for another texting app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hollisterryann:
I love how you guys are waiting on spending a $1. Now the price went up and you have to spend more. It's funny how cheap people are. Take a damn risk. Keep taking app updates If it doesn't work, it's only a damn $1. For the people that complain about him charging for an app that in beta stages. I would love to see you work for free. Hell I'd love to see any of you be smart enough to make an app. I Know I can't so I can't say how hard it to fix this when I can't even so anything like that. I keep reading this post to get a laugh
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PearlMikeJam:
I am having messages get hung up when sending. I compose the message, hit send and I get the bouncing dots that never send the message. When I look in the stock messaging app, the message is showing as sending, but not getting sent (this is an SMS, not MMS). I have to force stop Sliding, compose the message again and then send it. In some cases, I think the messages actually get sent, but they show as sending (bouncing dots) in Sliding. Is this a bug or something I can correct? It seems to be happening more and more.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sweenish:
I believe the correct word is "chillax." (Obviously directed at those throwing fits, not those trying to offer constructive feedback)

I bought Pro, but am currently back on stock as the app lags like a fiend for me on my Verizon GNex, and MMS still needs to be sorted out in general. The app is still installed, waiting for updates.

But what you don't see is me whining and throwing fits. I filed reports when I was using the app, and I hope people continue to do so in order to help the devs nail down the sources of the issues people are having. I'm still perfectly happy with my purchase and hope the devs keep up the great work on the app. Feature-wise, I think it's as packed as it can be. Next comes refinement, and I know how much of a bear that can be.

I look forward to trying this app again after a few updates or when I have a phone that performs better.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] athdaraxen:
I didn't have much lag but in the last few versions I have had some lag. But here is the kicker that makes my case a little different.

I never have more than 100 messages , my normal is 50-75 (at the time I'm typing this, only 2 conversations with less then 10 in each) . I keep my inbox really clean yet I still experience some lag.

Now I do have an older phone, a Samsung Captivate running the latest SlimBean. I keep my phone running pretty smooth, minimal apps, Greenify, I have almost no lag with any other app. For me though it's only been recently. I don't know if this helps at all.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chinkster:
Its not about the dollar. Its about paying for something that doesn't work correctly. I bought pro right from the start but I wish I hadn't. Even though it is just a dollar, I just feel that I pretty much wasted it since it will not work smoothly (I have less than 500 messages) and correctly since I get force close sometimes when attempting to send a text. I get hangups when sending a text also as other users have reported. Bugs such as in batch delete, for some contacts I only see 4 digits out of a 10 digit phone number goes untouched. I still have the app installed and will monitor but won't hold my breath.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PearlMikeJam:
Not everything on Google Play is perfect. I look at the 99 cents like donating to a Kickstarter project. The difference is that I actually get something to play with right now and provide feedback.

This is annoying the hell out of me. I have no overflow menu popping up? So I can't access settings. It's just not there.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stg13:
I love this app - I recommend it all the time to anyone who is looking for a new SMS app!

With the last update, I get force closes when trying to access Sliding Messaging from the notification panel notification. If I access the new SMS with slideover or app, there is no force close.

I have read thru the last pages of the thread and skimmed over the G+ page but I did not see anything reported (my apologies if I missed it).

I have also cleared app data / cache and reset up my settings but the results are the same - any ideas would be appreciated.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
It would be great if you could give me a log of that. I am not seeing anything on the play store reports about it, and you are correct that no one else has said anything
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dmarden:
Was there ever a resolution for this? If I recall, Samsung phones set the orientation in the images meta info as opposed to actually adjusting the resolution.

Agreed that this is problematic and takes away from the experience for both the user of the app and the recipient regardless of the app they use.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
It is a samsung thing, someone mentioned it on google+ today and tried to tell us about why, but i will have to do more research about what he said. All 3rd party apps have this problem with touchwiz, some have found solutions, some have not

Version 7.80 Full Release

Version 7.80 Full Release:

- Mmm, KitKat approved :)

- New Icon!

- New MMS options:

- Attach video to MMS

- Attach audio to MMS

- Attach contact vCard's to MMS

So some very cool stuff with MMS on this one. For everyone that would flame us for not having vCard support, there you go. Sending videos that you have already taken isn't going to work so well as there is a limit to 1 MB by most carriers, it will pop up with the APN error every time. i couldn't even send one that was 1.5 seconds from my Nexus 4. But, you can go to attach more, and take the video from there, then we are able to compress it and you get around 40 seconds. It works the same as the stock app.

KitKat changes have also been made for this update. Obviously I haven't been able to test them yet. If no one has an aosp rom by tomorrow morning, i will probably end up trying myself to build it. Will take HOURS though to download on my 1.5 MB/sec internet haha so i am hoping some other dev will get that going! I did order a nexus 5 though, which will ship "by the 5th" it says, but i guarentee you that i was one of the very first people to get it ordered ;) they went up right at 1:03 where i am from, and my order timestamp is 1:03.23 from my purchase order hehe 23 seconds to spend $400.

I tested it on a 4.4 emulator, but it is very bad and slow, so difficult to debug to say the least

Also, with this one is... A new icon :) i know a ton of people have wanted it lately, and we combined, what i feel, was the best of all of them here: some of the 3D effects from one, and the color of another. Hope you like it, +Aaron Klinker made it! I think i will have to go to him in the future as well with my business. It looks pretty kitkat-ish to me

Thanks to +James Welch and +Calvin Northrop for some very cool ideas!

So there ya have it, ended up being a very nice update if i do say so myself. I didn't want to do a beta for this, because i assume that people will have kitkat from aosp tonight already ( fingers crossed ) and this needed to get out so it would work for them.

Enjoy this one :)

hi Jacob,

am the guy with the message deleting issue u replied to on play store.

unchecking over ride stock messaging doesn't help.

deleting msgs still keeps the spinning ring on screen till i hit the back key.

any other option to go around this?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
Oh no, keep that checked. I didn't know what you were talking about. it just takes awhile for them to be deleted, there isn't a bug with this, it just isn't as fast as the stock app

ah okie..

my bad. just gotta be a lil patient heh!

thanks sir!

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
There was a disclaimer a few versions ago about the show all settings option... I wish people would read that haha

Go to advanced settings, then check the show all and it will be under notification settings.

causing menpont

hey.. can u do the "secret message" like when a anybody (who u cheket before that) is writing to you, you at first don't get any notification,or ringtone, you dont see it in the conversation list , and must to tap the menu boton and to go in "private message" or whatever and to see message and to write too... ? i hope u understand me :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SteveRiley:
Ah, I just finished reading the entire thread and now see that someone asked the same question I was: why is it deleting a conversation seems to take so long?

Second question: what does "override stock messaging" actually do? If I enable this, will future received messages not appear in the stock app anymore?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
I believe you are talking about a private inbox, if so, yes, we have plans to attempt something like this in the future.

Why does it take so long: we want to be careful and make sure it works correctly. I don't see this as a huge problem, i am sure it could be optimized, but for something like deleting, i would much rather be safe. I think you will agree.

Override stock: This just allows sliding messaging to receive the incoming sms itself and save it to the database. it then aborts the new sms broadcast so that the stock app doens't try to save it as well. This option should be used if you have problems with messages disappearing or not showing up in sliding messaging because some oems save the messages just a little differently and we aren't able to pick them up. The other time you would use this is if you disabled the stock messaging app, if you don't use the override stock and you do this, then the messages will never get saved. It does not affect whether the stock app will be able to view your messages though.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mrgoodaa:
thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SteveRiley:
Thanks for the extra info.

I wonder how it is that the other SMS apps can delete a conversation nearly instantaneously, though? I don't recall ever losing extra messages with other apps.

Nevertheless, you're right -- extra care is warranted.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
right now, it is not high on my priority list at all to make it faster. eventually i am sure we will get there, but at this point, i couldn't care less if it takes an extra 5 seconds to delete a conversation, as long as it works, we have much more pressing things that need fixed in the background and the foreground before i worry about that
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] venci_ty:
yes i talking about a private inbox, but send box too hehe... I'll be happy if it exists in recent versions. Also not easy to reach there. Maybi.. just idea - menu boton> help> upper right corner and you are in private conversation ..hehe :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
Nah, that would be pretty cool, but not really usable for an average user, they wouldn't understand or care what it was, if i do it, i will just put a header on the conversations list view, then have the user enter a password to enter the protected inbox
