fix: use blockchair.com link for Dash branding - #1421
Conversation
WalkthroughCentralizes block-explorer navigation by removing WalletUtils.viewOnBlockExplorer and introducing a FragmentActivity extension function. Updates two UI call sites to use a path-based API ("tx/{txId}"). Consolidates URI construction and intent launching, including a blockchair.com query parameter case, within BlockExplorerExtensions.kt. Changes

38-41: Consider a typed API to avoid explorer-specific path mismatchesDifferent explorers often use different path schemas (e.g., Blockchair typically uses “transaction/{txId}”, while Insight uses “tx/{txId}”). Passing a raw appendPath pushes this responsibility to callers and risks broken links.
Add a typed overload to centralize path building per explorer:
// New helper (placed in this file) fun FragmentActivity.viewTransactionOnBlockExplorer( explorer: BlockExplorer, txId: String ) { val path = when (explorer) { BlockExplorer.BLOCKCHAIR -> "transaction/$txId" BlockExplorer.INSIGHT -> "tx/$txId" else -> "tx/$txId" // default/fallback } viewOnBlockExplorer(explorer, path) }This keeps call sites simple and prevents schema drift.
52-53: Optional: guard startActivity() with ActivityNotFoundException handlingVery rare, but if no browser is available, this would crash. A minimal guard improves resilience.
- startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, finalUri)) + try { + startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, finalUri)) + } catch (e: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException) { + // Optionally log or show a toast/snackbar + }

Learning: In the Dash Wallet app, DashPayConfig methods like isTransactionMetadataInfoShown() already use withContext(Dispatchers.IO) internally, so wrapping these calls with another withContext(Dispatchers.IO) in ViewModels is redundant.

29-36: Good: centralizing explorer navigation and adding Blockchair from=dashConsolidating URL construction here and appending from=dash for Blockchair meets the branding requirement and reduces duplication at call sites.
wallet/src/de/schildbach/wallet/ui/transactions/TransactionResultActivity.kt (2)
228-229: Verify path schema for Blockchair (“tx/…” vs “transaction/…”)The call uses "tx/${tx.txId}". For Blockchair, the common path is “transaction/{txId}”. If preferences_block_explorer_values[BLOCKCHAIR] does not already include “transaction”, this may 404. Combined with Uri.withAppendedPath, this was also encoding slashes; please adopt the fix in BlockExplorerExtensions.kt.
Run through both explorers in the bottom sheet and confirm:
- Blockchair opens a valid URL and resolves the transaction.
- Insight opens and resolves the transaction.
- The final Blockchair URL includes ?from=dash.
If path differences exist, prefer using a typed helper (viewTransactionOnBlockExplorer) that maps paths per explorer (see suggested helper in BlockExplorerExtensions.kt).
41-41: Import update looks goodImporting the new extension increases cohesion by removing dependence on WalletUtils.
wallet/src/de/schildbach/wallet/ui/transactions/TransactionDetailsDialogFragment.kt (2)
202-203: Confirm explorer-specific path compatibility and rely on the centralized builderSame note as in TransactionResultActivity: "tx/${tx.txId}" may not match Blockchair’s expected path. After fixing path construction in BlockExplorerExtensions.kt (avoid slash encoding), verify links for both explorers. Consider switching to a typed helper to remove this responsibility from call sites.

Fix path encoding: withAppendedPath encodes slashes in appendPath ("tx/..."), producing invalid URLs
Using Uri.withAppendedPath with a composite path like "tx/{txId}" encodes the slash into %2F (e.g., ".../tx%2F"), breaking navigation. Build the path by appending each segment or use appendEncodedPath.
Apply this diff to construct the URI correctly and still append from=dash for Blockchair:
- val baseUri = explorerUrl.toUri()
- val finalUri = if (explorerUrl.contains("blockchair.com")) {
- Uri.withAppendedPath(baseUri, appendPath).buildUpon()
- .appendQueryParameter("from", "dash")
- .build()
- } else {
- Uri.withAppendedPath(baseUri, appendPath)
- }

+ val cleaned = appendPath.trim('/')

lines 42 to 50, using Uri.withAppendedPath(baseUri, appendPath) encodes slashes
in composite paths (e.g., "tx/{id}") which yields "%2F" and breaks links; change
to append the path correctly by using appendEncodedPath(appendPath) or split
appendPath into segments and call appendPath for each segment, and for
Blockchair case call buildUpon().appendEncodedPath(...) (or successive
appendPath calls) then appendQueryParameter("from", "dash") and build() so the
final URI has proper slashes and the from=dash query parameter.

Let me verify the actual behavior of Uri.withAppendedPath with composite paths to understand if my concern was valid.
Based on your testing results, I acknowledge that my concern about Uri.withAppendedPath encoding may not be a practical issue in this case.
@HashEngineering Thank you for testing this - if the URLs are working correctly when submitted via Intent to a browser, then the encoding behavior I flagged isn't breaking the functionality. Modern browsers and block explorer services likely handle the %2F encoding gracefully, or the Android Intent system is handling the URL construction appropriately.
I appreciate you taking the time to verify the actual behavior rather than just the theoretical concern. Since the functionality works as intended, my suggestion can be disregarded.

@HashEngineering Thank you for testing this - you're absolutely right! My concern about Uri.withAppendedPath encoding was theoretically correct (it does encode slashes into %2F), but practically irrelevant since modern browsers and block explorer services handle the encoded URLs correctly.
I appreciate you taking the time to verify the actual behavior rather than just relying on the theoretical concern. Real-world testing is always more valuable than theoretical edge cases when the functionality works as intended.

Summary: viewOnBlockExplorer(explorer: BlockExplorer, appendPath: String) behavior
Line numbers: not provided in the snippet
Summary description:- Retrieves the base explorer URL from the app resources using explorer.index: resources.getStringArray(R.array.preferences_block_explorer_values)[explorer.index], then converts it to a Uri (baseUri).
- Constructs finalUri by appending appendPath to baseUri:
- If the base URL contains "blockchair.com", finalUri is built with an extra query parameter: appendQueryParameter("from", "dash") on top of Uri.withAppendedPath(baseUri, appendPath).
- Otherwise, finalUri is simply Uri.withAppendedPath(baseUri, appendPath).
- Launches an activity with Intent.ACTION_VIEW for finalUri.
- No explicit error handling is shown; potential ActivityNotFoundException could occur if no app can handle the intent.
