Anki-android: Images from Android clipboard do not paste correctly.

[McSpooder]

You can copy an image from Android, say by holding it down and tapping copy.

However you cannot paste it from the clipboard like you would on a desktop machine.

Instead you get something like: content://com.android.chrome.FileProvider/images/screenshot/16048407172167286279025733221228.png

Hi @McSpooder

Which version of AnkiDroid are you using?
Which phone are you using?

This might be fixed in the latest alpha: https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/releases/download/v2.14alpha27/AnkiDroid-2.14alpha27.parallel.A.apk

Ref: #7566 and #7568

2.13.5, I will try the alpha thanks!

[McSpooder]

Just tried the alpha, unfortunately no luck

Update:

Pasting by holding down the field and pressing clipboard (which opens up the native Android clipboard) just pastes the relative path on the device.

However, pasting using the Google keyboard displays an anki error saying that pasting is not supported here.

Tried hard coding the html like so:

<img src="content://com.android.chrome.FileProvider/images/screenshot/16048455604811721105034031108145.jpg"/>

But that didn't work either. Anki just says failed to load image.

Thanks for the repro - will improve this in the next alpha

I'm going to close this as a duplicate of #7566 to consolidate discussion.

@McSpooder Could you try alpha28: https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/releases/download/v2.14alpha28/AnkiDroid-2.14alpha28.parallel.A.apk

@david-allison-1
Can confirm pasting images now works with the alpha when using the Google keyboard!
