Android: Inappropriate Message when creating a folder with an existing folder name

[sd1998]

Actual behaviour

When trying to create a folder with the same name as one that has already been created. The snackbar message states "Method not allowed".

Expected behaviour

I think the message should be a bit more informative like "Folder with same name exists" of another forlder should be created with suffix " + 1".

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a folder named "xyz" by selecting option from the FAB in FileDisplayActivity.
2. Create another folder with the name "xyz" following the similar procedure.

Can this problem be reproduced with the official owncloud server?

Yes.

@davigonz @jesmrec I think this is an issue and if you agree with this then I would like to make the change its just a minor one.

go ahead

@jesmrec Which one of the following should it be? The message should be a bit more informative like "Folder with same name exists"? or another folder should be created with suffix " + 1".?

[jesmrec]

we should follow the same behaviour the web UI. In this case, it i not allowed to create a folder with the same name as another existing one. Web UI displays the message <folder name> already exists

What error does the server send in the HTTP response? Could you post it here?

[jesmrec]

The response of the MKCOL request is a 405 error with:

<s:message>The resource you tried to create already exists</s:message>

The error shown (method not allowed) corresponds with the RFC standard for such error code
