Local filesystem sync: Can't select directory #27

Open edrex opened 7 years ago

edrex commented 7 years ago

I have an Org folder in /storage/0/ that I'd like to use for storage (sync'd using Syncthing).

When I select local sync in the setup wizard, I see an empty dir, with no obvious way to select a different directory: screenshot_20161220-184813

I'm not sure if this is something peculiar to my device, which is Android 6.0.1, with an SD card "adopted" as device storage.

Follow-up to #23.

I have the same problem on android 7.0.1 (cm 14.1). I can't create new to-do entries. I can't create new sub directories.

I think the problem is that it didn't asked permission to access filesystem.

Settings - applications I turned that on Now it works for me

Thanks @bclermont! So it looks like adding a permission request at that point in the setup wizard is needed?

wizmer commented 7 years ago

I am looking at it and indeed it seems that starting from Android 6, the permission mechanisms changed. It explains why I saw no problem testing on my Android 5 phone. I'll fix that asap.

I have the same issue -- Galaxy Tab S2

I have a beta version with the fix. People willing to help me to test the fix (since I don't have an Android 6 or 7 phone) can send me a mail and I'll add them to the Beta test list. This way your version will always be up to date the beta version I am testing.

@wizmer I'm seeing several issues in Setup Wizard with the beta version:
