Deltachat-android: sharing files does not work

[r10s]

sharing images works, however, when trying to sharing random files (just tried with *.bak from the amaze file manager) delta is not offered in the list. this worked with the old f-droid-version, however.

also, sharing URLs still lack the title, this also worked with the old f-droid-version.

@r10s Should we add this to Jan2019?

[r10s]

i think jan2019 is done so far :)
but we can handle this with high priority. should not be that hard.

something for the project playOne?

added it there as "optional", we'll see if someone is targeting it :)

I would look into that one on Friday :).

[r10s]

great!

The general problem is that the Signal code base isn't able to handle multiple shared files at once and that's what some of the file managers do. I'm adjusting that.

[r10s]

cool. as we do not have a method to stage multiple files, i think, as a quick-fix, it would be okay to ask the user "do you want to sent 3 files to _chat_?" after selecting a _chat_.

however, if only one file is selected, it should be staged (as for sharing images) so that the user can add a comment.

[Boehrsi]

I'm nearly done with that one. Just the permission handling for required cases and some string adjustments are missing.

[Boehrsi]

Did the last adjustments and will now test if everything is working fine. This ticket should definitely be ready this week.

[r10s]

cool :)

closed by https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/pull/759 - @Boehrsi great job! and of course, my initial comment - "should not be that hard." - was wrong in the end :)
