  1. Check unread messages in Android notifications

Outcome

What did you expect?

The same messages are shown or notified. If I read a message in EXA, the corresponding android notification should be retracted.

What happened instead?

The displayed messages and notifications are inconsistent. As a user, I constantly feel there still is something to read in EXA even though there is not.

If I read a message in EXA, the corresponding android notification should be retracted.

If you read a room from EXA, the corresponding notification should disappear. I have just checked and it's working as expected.

If you read the messages from another session, the notification will not disappear and this is tracked by #1998.

Also, if you dismiss the notification, it will not mark the room as read.

So if there is no other issue than #1998 I think we can close this one?

As the screens above show, this is about the same session, i.e. notifications from EXA and reading the messages in EXA.

Just to confirm: are you using the action "Mark as read"? In this case, the notifications for the room are not removed, and I will fix that.

kongo09 commented 4 months ago

What do you mean with "mark as read"?

I simply look at the notifications in Android and then the unread messages in EXA and this doesn't really align. If I read some messages in EXA, their notifications don't necessarily get taken out of Android. Some notifications in Android don't have corresponding unreads in EXA. It feels like to different things.

I think this is a symptom of https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-android/issues/1998.
