Tutanota: Tutanota Android app cannot be resized on samsung DeX

[alexanderadam]

• [x] This is not a feature request (existing functionality does not work, not missing functionality).
  I will request features on forum or via support.
• [x] I've searched and did not find a similar issue.

Bug in mobile app

Describe the bug
Resizing the tutanota app window is broken / not possible.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open tutanota app on an Android Desktop environment
2. Try to resize it

Expected behavior

Resizing is possible

Screenshots

As you can see, even the resizing button is greyed out. Dragging edges or corners is also not possible.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab S6
• OS: Android 10
• Version: v3.73.1

Additional context

I'm using Samsung DeX, which gives a desktop like experience and makes use of Android windowing support.

Samsung has documentation on how to enable window resizing:

<application
    android:resizeableActivity="true">
</application>

This documentation also has more tweaks and information on how to improve the desktop experience in case you're interested.
They also have an app testing guide (although some apps are fine with this guide but won't work on "real" DeX sometimes).

Applications like Firefox, VLC or Termux can be resized without any problems.

PS: I know that it is possible to _force_ all apps to be resizable via Samsung Labs > Force Resize but it would obviously better to make the application natively resizable to create less friction.
PPS: I'm not sure whether this is relevant but this is how GitNex fixed the issue and this is how NewPipe fixed it.

Hi
Can you please send a PR, maybe with the same changes as GitNex? We are web app and already react to resize so there shouldn't be any work except to declare that we support it.

[johnbotris]

how could this best be tested? @charlag

[charlag]

Do not test it, I think we will get reports if it works

[alexanderadam]

Do you know when this change will appear in the stable F-Droid release?

[johnbotris]

We are planning to release this tomorrow, F-Droid is usually updated within a few days but we don't have control over that
