Share stuck on login screen

[thelazyoxymoron]

Hi,

When I try to share any document, the app brings up the login screen and doesn't proceed further even if I've provided the login details correctly. When I checked in the main app (i.e. opening paperless_share rather than trying to share a document from other app's share feature), it shows that I'm logged in successfully.

I'm attaching the relevant adb logs, please take a look. Let me know if you need any more information.

System: MIUI 12 OS: Android 11

Thanks for reporting this.

I think it has something to do with how the intent is constructed. I'll look into this best I can, might be difficult if I can't reproduce.

Do you have the same issue when sharing to eu.bauerj.paperless_app? IIRC the sharing implementation is about the same.

I'm having the exact same issue as OP and can confirm that it doesn't work with bauerj's version, either. At least for me. With his version it just opens the app to the My Documents screen and nothing happens. If you need any logs, let me know how I do that.

Same problem. But weirdest thing is: 5 minutes ago it was working. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting. I also tried to restart Paperless-ng server. Nothing does it. I even tried with your demo server as shown in another issue ticket, that did not work either. Sharing through eu.bauerj.paperless_app works.

I have the same problem, at least I'm stuck on to login screen too. I noticed too things: 1) I'm running with https only (http is redirected), maybe that has something todo with it. 2) I'm running it in my LAN only, but with hostname overrides in opnsense so I can use public domains with letsencrypt. Running with @bauerj s app I get at least an error message stating that "No address is associated with that hostname", which suggests that at least his implementation doesn't use the dhcp assigned dns server. Don't know if this applies to that app as well. 3) It is also notable that im running paperless-ng instead of paperless, but maybe a month ago it worked with both apps, but running on unraid with direct ip access and no https.

Update: I tried disabled the http to https forwarding and and did still not work, then I accessed it by ip directly and now it works, so this seems to be indeed a problem with the dns server. These two issues suggest that the Dart http client is lacking a few features regarding dns: https://github.com/flutterchina/dio/issues/228 https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/36551

Something new on this?

Can't connect to my instance. I tried connecting using http and https. The official paperless app works just fine.

[eingemaischt]

I do have the same problem...

I found a workaround on Android by deleting the PaperlessShare App and using the new share function of the official Paperless App
