Android: [3.13.0 RC4] Avatars in a shared file

[Valdnet]

Steps to reproduce

1. Select "All files" from the menu.
2. Share the file with another user.
3. Return to the "All files" menu.

Expected behaviour

• Avatars of shared users should contain the correct first letter of the username.

In my opinion, if the user has his avatar set, it should be displayed for shared files.

Actual behaviour

• The avatars of shared users contain an invalid letter of the name.

After selecting file sharing details, the letter in the avatar is correct.

Environment data

Android version: 10

Nextcloud app version: 3.13.0 RC4 and Dev 20200809

@tobiasKaminsky I can reproduce this (to some extend).

What I tested (2 users with usernames and name differing the name being first/last name leading to server-side 2-letter avatars, one user with a uploaded image)

• Sharing details view only shows the single-letter avatar (thus must be client-side generated)
• oc file list, initially shows single-letter with some folder refresh app restarts shows the 2-letter avatars
• _no_ display of the image avatar

I am totally out of clue :/
I fear we have to postpone this to 3.13.1, but I will mark it as "high".

@tobiasKaminsky Version 3.13.1 released, and there are no correct avatars 😁.

@Valdnet can you test it with https://github.com/nextcloud/android/pull/7098 ?

@tobiasKaminsky In the test version, the letters in the avatars are displayed correctly 👍.
Is it possible to show avatar pictures in sharing details? Same as they appear in the list of shared files.

Off topic:
I noticed that if there is an image file in the files and you set the files to be displayed as a list, the files display like this:

Only after another change to the list view, the file display is correct until the application is restarted.

@tobiasKaminsky In the test version, the letters in the avatars are displayed correctly +1.

nice :+1:

It should already be correctly shown, as both use the same function to generate avatar.
Can you post a sample?

Please create a new issue.

Hm. What is GPS 2? A regular user, a federated user?

[Valdnet]

This is a regular user 😉.
