Some way to open puzzles from gmail #7

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I subscribe to Peter Gordon's Fireball crosswords, which he sends out over 
email. Currently, the only way I know to get them into Shortyz is to download 
them on a computer and copy into the Crosswords directory via USB. Do you know 
of any way to get them directly into Shortyz?

Using the "Gmail" app there is only a Preview button, not Download.  I tried 
using "AttachSave" but it corrupted the puzzle file (adding some HTML stuff 
around the outside, etc).  I tried going to gmail.com in the browser and was 
able to "download" the file but it wouldn't open. Is there a way to make 
Shortyz register some sort of intent so that the browser knows what to do with 
.puz downloads?

I created a patch for this issue so i could download Matt Gaffney's weekly 
puzzle (http://crosswordcontest.blogspot.com/).  It involved a change to the 
AndroidManifest to recognize the puzzle file, and to the HttpDownloadActivity 
to handle the attachment.  Both files are attached or can be pulled from my 
shortyz clone at 
https://levan.matthew@code.google.com/r/levanmatthew-desktop-downloader/, I'm 
not sure which is more convenient.
