Fixes #1234syntax (Fixes Low-res emojis #53)Description
Fixes #53
Session currently uses a legacy 66x66px bitmap spritesheet pipeline (
EmojiProvider/EmojiTextView) inherited from older Signal code. On modern high-DPI screens, these small bitmap tiles appear blurry and pixelated when scaled up.This PR adds a "Use System Emojis" toggle in Settings → Chats (enabled by default) that allows messages to render sharp, high-resolution vector emojis using the device's native emoji font rather than the low-resolution spritesheets.
Changes:
USE_SYSTEM_EMOJIkey and getter/setter preferences inTextSecurePreferences.kt(defaults totrue).EmojiTextView.javato checkisUseSystemEmojiEnabled()before parsing/replacing emoji spans; when enabled, it skips the bitmap spritesheet replacement and renders the native Unicode characters.ChatsPreferenceScreen.ktand state handling inChatsPreferenceViewModel.kt.Testing:
assemblePlayDebugandtestPlayDebugUnitTest(all tests pass).
