Make Element Android Thread aware #4246

Description

@germain-gg

Your use case

What would you like to do?

To take a few steps towards understanding Threads in Android before a full implementation

Why would you like to do it?

To ensure maximum backwards compatibility and continuity in conversations when threads will be available to the masses.

How would you like to achieve it?

MSC3440 recommends two things for clients that do not fully support threads yet

  • To treat m.thread the same way that they treat m.in_reply_to
  • To change the event references from m.in_reply_to to m.thread when replying to an event that has an m.thread relation (to ensure that the message will be displayed correctly in the thread when viewed on thread's ready clients)

Have you considered any alternatives?

No response

Additional context

Threads might be using a m.thread relation over m.in_reply_to
