Hi @enterudy,

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'm currently investigating it.

Trying on emulators on my side, so not exactly the same setup as yours. From the native messaging app, I notice:

I also notice the same behavior with the Wikipedia app as with Poet Assistant.

If you have a moment, could you check if you see the Wikipedia app appearing in the text selection menu, on your side?

If you happen to know of any open source apps that are appearing in the menu, please let me know. I'll take a look at them to see how they're managing it differently from Poet Assistant.

In any case, I'll continue to dig on my side.

Wow! Carmen What an impressive response time!!! Thank you! Upon text selection in Keep I only see "Read Aloud" and "Search DuckDuckGo" Could DuckDuck be doing something with all its blocking options? (I think I've exhausted trying variations) Regards, Rudy PS Your app is brilliant... and just yesterday I discovered the translating feature! Keeps getting better!

Hi @enterudy https://github.com/enterudy,

Trying on emulators on my side, so not exactly the same setup as yours. From the native messaging app, I notice:

  • Up to Android 13, from the messaging app, I can select text and see Poet Assistant items in the list.
  • Starting in Android 14, Poet Assistant items no longer appear.

I also notice the same behavior with the Wikipedia app as with Poet Assistant.

Could you check if you see the Wikipedia app appearing in the text selection menu?

I'll continue to dig on my side.

Thanks @enterudy, this tip about DuckDuckGo helped with the investigations 🙏🏻

I've submitted a "fix" (kind of a hacky workaround). We'll see if/when Google approves it and releases it :)

I also filed a bug with Google too: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/340098899

If you fetch apps from sources other than the Play Store, you can already try the fix from the releases page of this project (version 1.30.7).

Hey Carmen! Although I didn't really know what to do after clicking on the 'releases' link. I must have tapped something right, though I never did observe any kind of downloading..... BUT IT WORKED - BRILLIANT!!!!

My poems are short and simple, As num'rous ones I write. My birthday rhyme's expected By my grandchildren bright.

For my Po-et Assistant, An Android app by Carmen, She quickly fixed a problem I'd say she is most charmin'!

Some think that I'm quite clever Whenev'r I make a rhyme But I'll share: I've assistance Carmen helps every time!

Thanks so much for your amazing, quick response. And FYI, I'm a retired electrical engineer in my seventies in Canada.

Warm regards and God bless you! Rudy

Hey Carmen! Although I didn't really know what to do after clicking on the 'releases' link. ...

This is the best Github comment ever received (by me, and maybe by anybody! 🤣 )

Thank you for the awesome poem!!
