Unable to shaare from FlymeOS default browser

[ArthurHoaro]

In the default browser of FlymeOS (Meizu branded Android), the Shaarlier icon isn't available when clicking on share. It's available on Plume for Twitter or Relay for Reddit though.

Android 5.1

It might be coming from the format in which the browser send the data. Shaarlier only accepts "text/plain" intents.

Are you using the default OwnCloud application ? Maybe I can find the answer in its source code.

[ArthurHoaro]

Yes I am. Although it says Nothing to send if I try to share something there.

K9-mail might be a better help. Let me know if you want me to try something out.

Do you have a way to know which mime type your browser uses ? I'm having a hard time installing FlymeOS...

[ArthurHoaro]

I don't know. I'll run a few tests to see if I can help.

So, I made some tests. My simple app received plain/text, but is only available if it has this:

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    <data android:mimeType="*/*" />
</intent-filter>

My guess is that they're doing this:

You can use a MIME type of "/", but this will only match activities that are able to handle generic data streams.

So, 2 possibilities:

• wontfix
• accept all mimetypes and only handle text/plain in your activity.

It's up to you.

As @di72nn has said in #23 it is technically possible to handle more mimetypes optionally. But I am not very found of adding another option in the menu to handle this specific case.

What do you think of using the new checkbox created in #23 perhaps by renaming it in something more vague like "Handle more link types" ? In which case, most users won't be bothered by Shaarlier in all their unrelated share intents, and the few who have a problem can check this option.

I'm afraid that even #23 makes the UI a bit bulky.

[ArthurHoaro]

I don't think it's gonna work, because as I said, the minimal app I made actually receive text/plain, but only if I'm « listening » to mimeType="*/*". This issue is very minor, and marginal, I don't think you should worry too much about it.

This bug no longer exists with FlymeOS 5.
