Android: Unable to share files

[mcastroSG]

Actual behaviour

• After select share option on a file or folder , we are not able to find any user to share. Does not matter local users or fed share.

  Expected behaviour

• After select share option on a file or folder, we should be able to find users and share the item with them.

  Steps to reproduce

1. Long touch on a file or folder
2. Select Share option
3. Type a user or user@remote

Can this problem be reproduced with the official owncloud server?
yes

I have the same issue with the same log on
android version: 6.0
App version: 2.01
owncloud server: 8.2

Ooooh, right. Probably because of #1735 . Makes sense.

I'll go for this ASAP.

[davivel]

Wait, no... but that shouldn't happen with 2.0.1 version...

@davivel I changed the android:authorities=".providers.UsersAndGroupsSearchProvider" to android:authorities="com.owncloud.android.providers.UsersAndGroupsSearchProvider" in the manifestand it's working for me now.

[davivel]

Thanks, @payam-huemer , I expected that. I was doubting because the 2.0.1 version in Play Store should have the full authority string. I guess you built the app by yourself, right?

[togglecode]

@davivel Yes, I am building it myself based on the master branch.

When i try to search for users, no result is returned. This stack trace is output:

Bug on the bug; I'll check it tomorrow.

Instant Run is breaking the initialization.

I'll rewrite so that it works with or without it
