Running on bdff91ce43c3280a7a88412f76cf5edca4d6e358

I just opened a deck and got this message. I believe at the very least that if we display error message, we should add some informations such as:

I don't find this message in ankidroid code, so I assume it's from the backend.

Check media solved the issue. No idea what it meant

Arthur-Milchior commented 9 months ago

The same message appeared in anki. But it offered to read https://docs.ankiweb.net/troubleshooting.html

This is also an issue in Anki Desktop

@david-allison I fear I don't understand why it's an issue. While the message in anki desktop is, admittedly, not very clear, adding a button that open that the troubleshooting page at least ensure that the user is not 100% lost. Admittedly, this page is far far too vague, but that's the issue with unspecific error. Implementation is in https://github.com/ankitects/anki/blob/5335d748cfcadb07af77bf2db6a6229efe8f36ec/qt/aqt/errors.py#L275

I'd even add that it's great that anki rust library does not provide the same link, because it would be useless for us. Changing video driver or disabling add-ons can't be done. Instead, we should either have a way to open a troubleshooting page specific to ankidroid.

Or, simply, offering to check the database, because, honestly, there are no other advices that seems useful. (Potentially restarting ankidroid too)
