feature: Implement selected text activities in context menu

[bagajohny]

Describe the problem

I know that since we cannot login to twitter we dont get the translate option from twitter. I am not talking about that here.

My issue is that when you select any text in squawker there is only one option to "copy" the text. There are no additional options to share, translate text. I have installed DeepL translate app from f-droid so when I select any text in firefox browser, I get an option to translate the text using DeepL but since that option does not show up insquawker I am unable to translate tweets. I hope you understand what I am trying to say here. Here are some screenshots to help you understand better.

I notices one more issue. Twitter videos that are geoblocked dont play at all on squawker. Is this a bug or just the way it works?

Describe the solution

We should be able to translate text by selecting it and using other translator apps.

You can translate any tweet by tapping on the little blue icon at the bottom right of the tweet .

it's a bad translation. deepl is the best translator in the world and what is there looks like a google translator icon.

@j-fbriere here is a comparison example

I once asked quawker for this feature.

Basically for java/kotlin app, the following lines needed to be added in Manifest.xml

   <queries>
        <intent>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.PROCESS_TEXT" />
            <data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
        </intent>
    </queries>

Not sure if it's the same for flutter.

[j-fbriere]

@scubajeff Squawker already has those lines added to its AndroidManifest.xml file.

But I'll check what else is needed to make it work.

Version 3.3.0 implements this feature.

Closing since there is no feedback, so everything must be OK.
