Using pithos on linux phones

[henrythemouse]

I have been using pithos on a purism L5 phone (phosh) and it's been working very well. The "Manage Stations" dialog is the only dialog that doesn't fit on the screen in portrait mode. This doesn't appear to be caused by too much information, maybe just the action buttons at the bottom? Perhaps for phones the button names could be shortened or stacked? I'm not sure, but I think that other programmers have used a library called libhandy to help fit there applications on linux phones.

Pithos is a great asset for linux phones. An easy, simple UI that makes instant sense and does the job.
Thank you for providing this app.

Improving Pithos on mobile would be great if anybody wanted to contribute such changes.

I would love having this too, it works alright on mobian phosh via scale-to-fit, but the UI is small and i cannot love/ban songs (unless i open the "terminal" keyboard and use the shortcut, but that only works on the current song).

well! tysm for the UI changes in version 1.6!
I no longer need scale-to-fit to fit the full ui on the screen. Everything seems to fit now, the only issue with mobile for me currently is that right-click menu for loving/banning songs. (esp songs that already played, bc u cant use the keybind)

Are you using the flatpak or building from source?

Any idea how I could work around this?

2023-12-19 Update: I copied my desktop keyrings file to my L5 and now Pithos works as expected.

@henrythemouse This is probably a conversation to have with the Librem folks about their OS on why the keyring is locked. It may also be an issue to work out with gnome-keyring.

I just built from source, with the archive provided at the 1.6 release and it works great!

The only current mobile-specific issue is the right-click menu, which i think we should look into using LibHandy so that long-pressing a song opens said menu.
