Android-password-store: Can't select key from OpenKeychain on Xiaomi devices

[Shiroukoji]

Hey,

when I tap on "Select OpenPGP Key id" there is an animation of open an new App but then I'm back in the PasswordStore App. So I can't select an key. I tried it with the beta and the normal version. I'm using a Xiaomi Mi 9, other Apps like K9-Mail are working with OpenKeychain

I found something in the log, maybe it helps:

gpActivity: RESULT_CODE_USER_INTERACTION_REQUIRED

Fixed. The permission "start in background" have to be allowed on Xiaomi devices. Don't why it works on other apps without this permission but it solved it.

Sry for this short and self-fixed issue, but the idea for this came immediately after opening this issue.

Thanks, I had the same problem on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, and your comment solved it. For clarification: The app that you need to grant the "start in background" permission to is OpenKeychain.

On MIUI 11, it's called Display pop-up windows while running in the background
