Using right-to-left languages causes an overlap in the time and text

The app didn't detect telegram messages, but then WhatsApp worked, so I'll do some more testing and report back.
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
Another bug report that when you try to insert gifs using the Gboard then the keyboard tells that the field​ does not support insert items like that.

You definitely know that like emoji, Gifs are becoming popular day by day and the text field need to support it in all of the messengers.

Take the feedback positively and work in the right direction to resolve the issue

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

And yes the last request feature for today is to add the feature of adding attachments like images, videos, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
I have just released an update which fixes WhatsApp issue with Nougat devices and other issues reported earlier. I have also taken the feedback of others. This app is still in early ages so bugs are tend to occur but if you can bring those issues to my attention then I can quickly iron out issues and create almost bug free version asap. Keep posting your suggestions guys, it's only with your help, we together can create perfect app that meets needs of everyone. Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] tangixx:
the app supports reply on lockscreen?
[Android Apps and Games] ticktock666:
Thanks, but i don't like downloading from 3rd party websites, other than xda labs and apkmirror.

Also images sent in WhatsApp are not showing in the bubble, i just get a small camera icon.
[Android Apps and Games] otonieru:
Thank you for prompt update [MENTION=4080142]Gurjot95[/MENTION]

Btw, is there a chance you can add support for GBWhatsApp ?

It's basically a modded WhatsApp (done by gbmod.co), with more features, like secured chat. Never show our online status, theming, etc. And it also will allow us using two whatsapp account in one phone.

I use it together with official WA. Too bad currently it has no "reply" function. The notif come out though. It just i cant reply.
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
For now it is better to stay with the website that is very much trusted because of the outcry on the wanna cry Ransomware
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
You must have aware of the fact that when we try to write something in the original application and come back to the direct chat then we see that recent conversations that I recently posted are not updated in the direct chat window.

It is a very essential issue because when we Switch between the application and the Directchat window that must be proper synchronisation between them so that the conversations will be smooth.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
I should let you know that there are some limitations and they all are for users benefit. I will explain the working of my so you can get an idea.

My app reads notification of the Android System to display messages to you. If my app actually interacted with any app to provide you direct native access to their app specific features then that will be exploiting users privacy and will debunk most messaging apps tagline that their chats are secure and no third party can read them. So for obvious reasons, most Messaging apps don't provide other devs to interact directly with their apps. Hence my app requires Notification access permission to display the notifications to you. That's why you don't see any media while having conversation in chatheads because messaging apps only sends text based notification and it will for best interest for everyone if you don't allow any third party app to read your conversation media. Similary you can't see Whatsapp blue ticks in ChatHeads because that is app specific feature and aren't included in notifications. DirectChat respects everyones privacy and doesn't go for any hacks or workarounds that aren't supported by android by default. All your conversations are still secure since my app works without internet too.

Hope that clears everyones doubts and understands while there are still limitations, its best for everyone's interest :)
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
Ok actually I had forgotten about that so thanks to make me remember about that.

One another suggested feature is the addition of copy,paste, select feature in the Directchat window to facilitate better text formatting.

And it is also helpful to copy chat in one app to another.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Yes, these features are coming very soon. I actually need them too. So I will keep adding new features and themes for long time. Now that most of bugs are solved, I can focus on new additions.
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
A very good response indeed.

And thank you for hearing to the feedback of the people actively because most of the developers don't do the same thing and the consequences they have to see their users leave them.
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
Please make some arrangements for hi resolution profile pictures on the direct chat window
[Android Apps and Games] mikey1975:
Nope, same here. Granted all permissions, tried all settings, but it doesn't work on my OP3T neither.

Purchased the pro edition for the support.

Greetz, Michael.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Please mail me at contact@uniquegem.net. I will send you debug apk there so I can easily identify your issue.
[Android Apps and Games] mikey1975:
Mail sent. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:

Please add official support for Skype lite version
[Android Apps and Games] tuannv28973:
this is a great chat app, good work developer.
[Android Apps and Games] Similarion:
When I have the Clear Notifications setting on, my notification ringtone doesn't go off. Is there a way to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
I think this is another bug.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Next update includes many new additions which were reported by majority of users and also includes many fixes. The development is highly activity and I am working on it with full enthusiasm. Ticking out all the features with every update. Keep supporting it! :)
[Android Apps and Games] otonieru:
Hi,

Is it possible to prevent the bubble from appear if the correlated app is on foreground ?

Example, am already in one conversation with one contact using LINE and then other contact is chat me, at that point, the LINE bubble will appear, on top of LINE app,

which i thing is quite unneccessary or counter productive. I will notice new line chat while am on the LINE thus should need no bubble appear :)
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Actually, there is already an option to blacklist apps but it will stop all bubbles to appear. However that feature you're asking is already in plan for next update which will only close the chatheads of respective app. So yeah, it won't take time to implement.
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
Very excited about the next update
[Android Apps and Games] Skyrocket2Paradise:
nice app!
[Android Apps and Games] whitak3r:
Has anyone tried using this with Signal?
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
There is no problem with any of app just if the automatic integration doesn't work you please add that application manually
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
V1.1.7 (Major Update)

Features

- Option to customize Bubble Size

- Option to Set Bubble Visibility when at edge

- Option to Clear Notification on ChatHead Close

- Option to Close ChatHeads when native app is opened

- Option to choose from System Apps for Custom ChatHeads

- Slide Up to Minimize Chat Window

Improvements

- Fixed Unread Counter

- Added Bubble Shadow

- Fixed Message Preview Showing on Lockscreen

- Fixed notification sound not playing when Clear Notification is checked

- Other bug fixes

PS: Special mention to Slide Up To Minimize feature as it may look as small addition but it took me full 2 days just to get that feature right with same as Facebook ChatHead. This was difficult as I had to detect when scrolling reaches bottom so dragging can be enabled and similarly disabled when we are scrolling up. I could have gone for easier way by adding any floating button or area to drag but I am not someone who will compromise on anything so easily.

I take user requests very seriously as they are backbone behind any successful product. I am keeping Pro version only for gimmicks such as Themes/Styles as of now since I thoroughly believe no user should feel they got incomplete app and they shouldn't be forced to buy anything. If you guys can support the development by purchasing Pro, it will encourage me to progress in my career and you'll eventually see the result in this app. However If you can't afford to purchase it, a review on Google Play will also be enough for me :)
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Purchased this last week. I'm glad I did after seeing updates like this.
[Android Apps and Games] phelony:
I bought just now based on him saying he takes user requests.
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
Dude I want to purchase the application and I really appreciate your work and dedication towards the development of the application and taking all the user feedback into account so seriously.

Literally I am telling you that developers like you are very hard to find which we are very lucky to have you with us.

Keep up the good work and keep developing.

I am also trying to spread the word of yours in my friend community and family so that each and everyone will get benefited by your application and you will surelyget good results

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

Okay another edit I have already purchased it
[Android Apps and Games] FivEawE:
Hello, would it be possible to support Messenger Lite? Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
I think Dev/OP said to try and add whatever app you want. If after receiving a message you see you cannot reply to it within the chat head, then the app cannot be supported.

Sadly, this is the case with Facebook Messenger Lite. I hope Dev/OP can figure out a way to get it to work. We know it works for Facebook Messenger....but not with Facebook Messenger Lite.
[Android Apps and Games] zeratos:
tried the app on emui, the app keeps closing every time the screen is locked and it doesn't show groups bubbles from whatsapp unless it's a direct message:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Thanks a lot, man! You have been active throughout this thread and your support for my app has been encouraging throughout. That means a lot. :)

That's true. If you see reply box at the bottom that means that app can be supported. Otherwise unfortunately you may need to contact the app developer to add android wear support for their apps. I will still explore and see if there is any other way to fetch replies.

That really shouldn't happen. Does all chatheads get closed once the device is locked? and whatsapp should work fine for both group and individual chats.

Update

As always, regular with updates. This update particularly changes the look and feel of ChatHeads so most of you will now find it pleasing. You should all try the new emoji keyboard, I'm personally loving it.

V1.1.8

- Complete Overhaul of Emoji Keyboard. Now Supports iOS Emojis and Skin color emojis (2176 emojis in total!)

- Updated Chat Conversations bubbles to remove jagged edges

- Added Chathead bounce animation when maximizing it.

- Changed background of overflow dialog to match the current theme

- Added Keyboard and Emoji icon swap when switching emoji

If you like the app, don't forget to support the development by either buying Pro or sharing a review on Google Play. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Ak:
Snapchat?
[Android Apps and Games] jimger:
Any chance of adding support to Viber? Because it's a hit and miss. Considering buy the pro version just for support. But please check if you can do anything for viber
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
Yeah I also just discovered that viber is not compatible with this application so you have to fix it fast because it is one of the most used messaging platform after WhatsApp ,Messenger, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Can you describe the issue with Viber?

AFAIK, Viber app crashes whenever we send replies from chatheads which is issue with Viber App itself.
[Android Apps and Games] jimger:
I don't have any problem viber crashing, just I think that when I receive messages from more than 1 person I can't reply. It deactivates the reply area. Also when u have viber calling it shows all the time notifications. And can't block it with the function' starts with calling from' in preferences
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Okay got it. Just wait for official support of Viber app than. I will solve the time issue. Regarding reply getting deactivated, that was issue with Viber notifications the last time I checked hencr the reason Viber app wasn't supported by default. I will look at it again and hopefully can find a workaround.

PS: The filter chat function only blocks the title with the keyword you specify, so make sure when you're using filter to block chatheads starting with "keyword". The chathead title should contains this keyword and not the message.
[Android Apps and Games] jimger:
Yeah I hope you solve it too. I was waiting for an app like this a long time now ... I barely use messenger but really like the idea of chatheads. I will buy the pro just to support your work. Thanks for the app:)
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
Especially wanted to tell everyone present in this community that this application is specifically optimised for the low end devices because is actually more faster to send messages through this application rather than opening the main application.
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
But what I am very concerned is the memory usage of the application is a little bit high as you can see in the photograph

This is not an issue for the high and devices on the device is having more than 1 GB RAM but for the phones having less than 1 GB RAM it is a concern.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
I think this issue was same with Facebook messenger too? It probably depends on how long chatheads stay on screen and since there is background service running for them, the memory usage gets increased with time. I will however try to optimize the best I can so you the lag is minimal if its there.
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Dev Feature Request:

Could we get a setting which lets us change where the bubble popup appears initially? For example, I would prefer the bubble to appear in the upper right corner just below status bar. Currently, the bubble appears on the right side of the screen somewhere in between the middle and top. I'd love to see a setting where we can change this default bubble location.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
There will be an option to Remember Last Position to start new ChatHead at same position it was last closed in new update. Hope that will be enough for you?

There are more customization's coming in next update which will make most users happy as they are one of most requested features. Stay tuned! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Here is much awaited new update -

V1.2

- More Chat Customizations and Themes (Pro)

* Includes Conversations bubbles, Text, Send Button, Title Bar, Chat Background

* Conversation Bubble Type - Speech, Rounded Corners

- Lockscreen integration

- Support for Slack and GroupMe

- Viewable incoming images inside ChatHeads

- Option to start new chathead at last position it was closed

- Option to clear unread badge on removing notification

- Hangout group messaging fix

With the new customizations and themes, you customize anything really, sky is the limit. Get creative and create some fascinating themes of your favourite messenger. Some quick examples!
[Android Apps and Games] diazepambr:
Awesome work dude, many thanks. I would like to translate the app to brazilian portuguese, how can i help?
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
I think you should have some translated versions of your application so that it will be popular across the whole world as it really has some importance to everyone in this age of instant messaging

so you should give opportunity to those people want to contribute to the translation of this application
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
There will be translations, I will let you know when I do that. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] georgew2:
please add support to viber and add option to "send with enter"
[Android Apps and Games] LovreDr:
Awesome app! I bought pro version while it was still young and unpolished and I didn't regret it. We can see that you try to implement users requests as much as you can so I have some ideas that you might take a look at.

1) open chat head of specific conversation any time so we don't have to wait someone to send a message to have a chat heat

2) being able to click on links

3) put some kind of feedback (vibration or toast notification) when we copy text (I know there is already vibration but it doesn't vibrate when "Vibrate on tap" in settings is disabled while deleting chat head vibrates and it's awesome)

3) being able to paste text in "Type a message" from clipboard

4) even more customization: change font size and change "Type a message" bubble color

Once again great app and keep it up!

(I'm using FreedomOS v2.8 on OnePlus 3)
[Android Apps and Games] enolaN_Fr:
Would be nice if you add Facebook Messenger Lite to supported app, cause I add it with custom apps, but no reply possibilities.

Let me know if you want to translate in French.

Thanks, awsome work!
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
I'd very much like to see messenger lite supported also.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
1. That's the feature I have in mind since the inception of this app and had left out due to some complications during implementing it. I will run some tests soon and hopefully this feature will work fine.

2. This too had some issues when I implemented it earlier but nothing difficult, you can expect it really soon.

3. Most users uses haptic feedback as default. So if I add my own vibration over top of it, it will just merge system default vibration and app's together. It's better to enable it in phone settings and use that.

4. Uhmm, it seems to work fine on my device?

5. Will be there in next update!

The lack of reply functionality is more due to messenger capabilities. While the default Facebook Messenger allows to reply from other sources, Messenger Lite doesn't. Hopefully Facebook realizes this and adds it to Lite as well as its REALLY easy to implement and has nothing to do with their *Lite* adoption. They are just being lazy.

I would like to know though if Messenger Lite supports DirectReply (reply from headsup) that was introduced in Android N notifications? If it does, it might be possible to add reply functionality for apps that supports it for Android N and above devices.
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
I don't know about Android N DirectReply for Messenger Lite........I'm on Marshmallow until Xposed for Nougat comes out. To be honest, I might just drop Messenger Lite and pickup the regular Messenger app so I can use your App with it. My phone is plenty fast (I'm just an efficiency freak).
[Android Apps and Games] enolaN_Fr:
Ahahah totally agree! Same for me my phone can handle regular messenger but I'm tired of apps that suck my battery...

For Lite messenger, in notifications we have reply option, I'm on 7.1.1 last OxygenOS for my phone.

https://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=355656photostudio1498747666224.jpg
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
So there may be potential for Nougat Messenger Lite users........?
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Yes, it is done! You can now have chatheads for Messenger Lite

Not only this, next update will also detect replies automatically for those messengers as well which previously didn't had Reply supported but had Android N DirectReply feature such as Viber and Messenger Lite.

Only for Nougat and above though, even the developer of this app can't enjoy this feature (My LG G4 is still stuck on MM) that nougat users will have. Thanks for bringing this feature to my attention guys. I wouldn't have known otherwise. Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Just wanted a quick clarification......Will Messenger Lite work for MM or Nougat only?
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Only seems to work for Nougat. Even I have MM in my device so I want it more than anyone else to make debugging easier.
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Understood. Great work regardless Dev! Much appreciated!

I could easily Flash over to Nougat on my OnePlus 3.......but there is an Xposed module I cannot live without so I patiently wait.
[Android Apps and Games] enolaN_Fr:
Really good job! I just bought PRO version to support, thanks for your responsiveness!
[Android Apps and Games] abhicrysis:
Pretty cool. But wouldn't it drain my battery insanely fast?
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
How would this drain your battery? It is a simple notification listener.......that also hooks into the reply function for each supported chat app. Battery drain should be a non issue here
[Android Apps and Games] jimger:
Are you going to support better Viber on MM and before or just not possible? Also you have somehow to fix that stupid viber is calling notification...
[Android Apps and Games] katsuya82:
When using direct chat in Line, it won't collect the messages from a chat room together as one, it will display EACH message as individual chat head, even if the messages came from the same person.

Line https://imgur.com/gallery/Qxi67

Also, it will be great if direct chat can display pictures that's attached to a message (Facebook chat)

Also, support of built-in SMS chat would be nice. Direct chat displays message, but can't reply. (Messages 1.4.0)

Message https://imgur.com/gallery/3uL2e
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
I hope I can find something for MM and below devices. I am MM user too so I can understand how much everyone wants. However it seems to be issue with Viber app and how they send they notifications. Hopefully I can find some workaround for missing reply option when there are multiple unread SMS. And yeah I will fix the unnecessary chathead created by Viber in next update when you call someone. You can also use block option or filter keywords to do it yourself too.

Hey, this will be resolved when I add default support for that messenger.

Sorry for delay in releasing update everyone, my laptop completed its 3 years lifespan (yeah it sucks) so I'll be buying new one shortly. I am also busy in finding a right job at the moment since I have just graduated, hence the delay. Development will be back in full flow in few days and with lots of suprises coming. Stay tuned.
[Android Apps and Games] katsuya82:
Fixing Line group chat would be my biggest concern, I'm in a group of people and chat goes over 999 each day, so imagine how inconvenience when that chat heads are not consolidated together.

Actually displaying message doesn't work in any app. Displaying a sticker won't work either.

If you want to tap into Chinese market, support for wechat is a must, and they use voice message A LOT!, it's something not supported yet.

take your time and Good luck with job hunting!
[Android Apps and Games] hxq88:
How to make messenger lite working lite the screenshot? i cant see messenger lite reply option on my directchat :D
[Android Apps and Games] jimger:
Can't fix Viber calling notifications (everything I put doesn't seem to work)
