enter_message_hint is never used

[ghost]

Hello,

I am integrating the Kommunicate Flutter SDK and I'm currently having a problem with the localization on the Android side. I'm successfully translating most of the resources to French and it seems to me that we are not able to use a customized string for the hint "Write a Message.." used at the bottom of this screen.

The string resource that seems to mean to be edited is enter_message_hint in mobicom_strings.xml but it is never used.

I think that this part of the code is the problem :

messageEditText.setHint(!TextUtils.isEmpty(alCustomizationSettings.getEditTextHintText()) ? alCustomizationSettings.getEditTextHintText() : getString(R.string.enter_message_hint));

as alCustomizationSettings.getEditTextHintText() is never Empty and contains "Write a Message.."

Hello,
Please follow these steps to change the editText Hint text in Android:
https://docs.kommunicate.io/docs/flutter-customization#android

In applozic-settings.json, there exists a "editTextHintText". Change it's value to your desired language and you should be able to do it.
This will override the default value of alCustomizationSettings.getEditTextHintText()

Hi @remisan Can you confirm whether the given solution is worked or not?

Hi, I just tested using the file @amntoppo mentioned and it worked, I put an empty string for editTextHintText in applozic-settings.json so that

TextUtils.isEmpty(alCustomizationSettings.getEditTextHintText())

was true and it uses

getString(R.string.enter_message_hint)

I couldn't just "change the value to your desired language" in applozic-settings.json as you recommended because it would just use one value, but I need it to change depending on the device language.
I feel like it's kind of a "hack", I don't know if it was intended to be used that way but still, it works. Thanks :)

Thanks for pointing out the issue, @remisan
We have added a fix for this. Now you will be able to set the hint text from both applozic-settings.json and localizable strings, whichever fits your requirement.
