Improve tap area on liking messages

[saraolson]

Sometimes it can be difficult to tap the right area to like a message, we should take a look at that tap area and see if we can make it easier to tap.

I am interested in contributing as a first-timer! I'd like to see if I can fix this.
I looked around in the code, I think the adjustment would need to be made in this file. Is that accurate?

Hi @LadyAudrey - Yup that is correct!

Ideally we'd like to keep the "size" of the view but make the tap area bigger (So if a player were to press slightly outside the Like, it would still Like/Dislike the message).

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask!

Hi! Took me a bit to re-orient post bootcamp, but I am downloading this now. Excited!

@LadyAudrey marked this issue for you! good luck 🎊

Hi! I'm sorry I've been so slow about this. I've decided as much as I'd like to pivot into Android dev, I don't have the bandwidth to do so while job hunting; I've tried and tried to get this to run locally and I haven't been successful. I'm sorry to hold up the process!

@LadyAudrey no worries! thanks for letting us know and best of luck out there

Hey all! I added a PR to make the entire like container clickable (currently, it's just the + text itself): #2052. Just wanted to note that Google recommends a tap target size of at least 48dp width/height for a11y (link), so lmk if you wanted me to adjust this view to be a bit larger and fit that spec.

While investigating this I found some general issues with liking messages that I notated in #2051. I left some notes there and will come back to investigate more when I have some more time, but I separated those issues out into their own ticket since it isn't being caused by the tap target being too small.
