same issue here

codinguser · 2015-08-18T07:47:27Z

I'm not able to replicate this so far.
What Android version are you running?

Android 5.0.2
The problem did not occur prior to the two last updates (before 1.5.0?)
I will post a log trace when I can find the time.

floriankisser · 2015-09-18T06:54:59Z

Same here on CyanogenMod 11 (Android 4.4.4) with gnucash from f-droid. Last export that worked for me was on 07 July, first that didn't on 17 July (don't know the gnucash versions, sry).

lennartS · 2015-09-20T19:56:47Z

Same here on Android 4.2.2 (Fairphone OS). Pretty sure it's broken for me since version 1.6.1.

agalanin · 2015-10-02T19:27:28Z

I am unable to export transactions via E-mail in version 2.0.0-beta1 too:

select Menu->Export...
export to: "send to..."
select "export all transactions" and QIF format
click "export"
Expected results:
export menu is displayed
Actual result:
"exported to: external service" message is displayed, new file is created under /sdcard/org.gnucash.android/exports.

codinguser · 2015-10-03T21:58:56Z

Thanks for the reports @nodje @floriankisser @lennartS @agalanin
Could you also let me know what your device locale is set to?

lennartS · 2015-10-03T22:52:08Z

Under „Language & input“ English is set as Language. If you mean a different locale setting, please let me know how to find it and I'll happily supply it.

floriankisser · 2015-10-03T23:15:50Z

de_at. Android 5.1.1 works neither.

codinguser · 2015-10-03T23:16:46Z

no, that's the one. Thanks

Problem is reproducible with both Russian and English (US) locales.

codinguser · 2015-10-05T07:30:35Z

Please send me more details about your device, Android version, rooted or
not, etc.

I'm trying to find what the common denominator is for the devices where it
doesn't work.

On my device, I get the toast "Exported to external service" and then the
list of apps opens to choose from.

richardinside · 2015-10-07T11:24:46Z

Same here. Gnucash version 1.6.3 installed from F-Droid. Version 1.6.1 does not work too.
Samsung Galaxy S2, Android 4.2.2, Cyanogen mod

Export to other sources (for example Owncloud) worked in older versions of Gnucash (maybe 1.5.*, but I'm not sure, and they are absent at F-Droid, so I cannot check which one works).

codinguser · 2015-10-07T15:44:40Z

ok, so far, the thing in common I see is Android devices with custom images (either rooted or Cyanogen).
@lennartS @floriankisser @nodje what about your devices?

floriankisser · 2015-10-07T21:32:46Z

Moto G 2013 xt1032, rooted, was on cyanogenmod 11 at first occurence and didn't update for a long time before that. Now I'm on cyanogenmod 12.1. Mail client that should open is k-9 mail btw.

agalanin · 2015-10-08T07:10:47Z

Export to other sources (for example Owncloud) worked in older versions of Gnucash (maybe 1.5.*, but I'm not sure, and they are absent at F-Droid, so I cannot check which one worked).

Try to add F-Droid archive repository ( https://f-droid.org/archive ).

richardinside · 2015-10-09T09:00:24Z

"Send file" works in old Gnucash version 1.5.5 from F-Droid archive repository. So something have been broken since that version.

One difference I have noticed between these two versions, is that default export option in version 1.5.5 is "Send file", but in version 1.6.3 is "SD Card". So it is possible that interface of changing this option in new versions just does not work.

PS: I also tried Gnucash version 1.6.3 on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, Cyanogen mod, and this feature fails to work too.

lennartS · 2015-10-10T10:55:12Z

@codinguser I use FairPhone OS on a rooted device. GnuCash is installed via f-droid with K-9 mail as intended export target.

alpha-and-omega · 2015-10-10T13:49:18Z

It works in current Beta.

Doesn't work for me in version 2.0.0-beta3.

codinguser · 2015-10-10T20:38:07Z

This issue is not consistently reproducible.
Also I don't have a rooted or Cyanogen device to test, so it is difficult to pinpoint the problem.
But I'll keep looking

lennartS · 2015-10-10T22:04:34Z

@codinguser I can install a debug version next to the real thing if I choose a different certificate, right? I might be able to install a debug version and look for the cause of this bug, if you give me some pointers where to start.

codinguser · 2015-10-11T18:07:34Z

@lennartS if you checkout the code and run gradle iDD you will install a development version on your device. Your existing data will not be affected.
See the README for more detailed instructions

rivaldi8 · 2015-10-19T19:37:45Z

I'm not sure, but I may having the same issue. In my case, however, the device isn't rooted and nothing gets writen to the SD card.

I've been debugging trying to figure out what is going on. I'll try to explain. Sorry, if it's a bit disperse.

What I'm seeing is that ExportAsyncTask.copyExportToSDCard() creates two files:

src = /data/data/org.gnucash.android.devel/files/20151019_190813_gnucash_export.qif
dst = /storage/emulated/0/org.gnucash.android.devel/exports/20151019_200858_gnucash_export.qif

dst path is supposed to point to the SD card, however it's actually writing to the internal storage. Nevertheless, I think it shouldn't be a problem, just curious.

Next copyFile(src, dst) is called, which in turn calls splitQIF(src, dst). The latter creates 20151019_200858_gnucash_export_EUR.qif in the export directory
(dst), but the list of files it returns is ignored.

Then, back at ExportAsyncTask, it calls shareFile(), but with output=dst as path instead of the one ended in "_EUR.qif" created by splitQIF(). As a consequence, shareFile() fails to open it:

E/ExportAsyncTask: Error split up files in shareFile. /storage/emulated/0/org.gnucash.android.devel/exports/20151019_211545_gnucash_export.qif: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

I haven't looked further into it, but I'd say the problem is the reuse of copyExportToSDCard(). Both copyExportToSDCard() and shareFile() call splitQIF(), but the latter is expecting the unsplited file.

My device is a bq Aquaris E4 with Android 5.0.

rivaldi8 · 2015-10-20T20:06:53Z

I've been working on a fix, without luck yet though. Now it opens the share intent, but nothing is attached when I choose to send it by email.

I won't be able to work on it again until Thursday. In case someone wants to take a look meanwhile, here's what I've done so far:

https://github.com/rivaldi8/gnucash-android/tree/bugfix-357-export-always-sd-card

codinguser · 2015-10-20T23:06:17Z

@fefe982 could you look into this?

rivaldi8 · 2015-10-22T17:25:51Z

It turns out it was already fixed. Somehow I ended up without any transaction, so there was nothing to attach :P

I've sent a pull request, but someone should test it first to ensure it's been really fixed and that nothing has been broken. It'd also be nice if someone could run the tests. As always, I can't make them run.

codinguser · 2015-10-23T13:57:05Z

Hey everyone,
please test the latest beta (v2.0.0-beta5) and let me know if this issue if fixed for you.
If you're not in the beta program, join here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.gnucash.android

agalanin · 2015-10-23T14:23:37Z

Hey everyone,
please test the latest beta and let me know if this issue if fixed for you.

Export destination is "SD card" by default. I think that application
should remember last selected combobox item.
Export via external service is working now.

rivaldi8 · 2015-10-24T11:26:55Z

Thanks for the testing @agalanin! I've opened a new issue (#408) for remembering the last export destination.

It's easier starting with this fix.
