card's description of shared boards invisible with read only permission

[Ornanovitch]

This issue respects the following points:

• I have read the FAQ
• I have searched for existing issues
• The issue affects the Deck Android app, neither the Deck server app nor the Nextcloud Android app.

Describe the bug

1. As user A, create a board plop and share it with user B, with read-only permission
2. As user B, sync your boards with the android app, then select the board plop and open a card

Description is invisible (attachments, comments and activity are visible) - the bug is reproducible for all concerned users

I see no error in the app logs. The issue seems similar to this old one : #1401

While I haven't been able to reproduce this very issue, I noticed some other issues that are related to the description field and the read only permission. I'll dig into this further within the bext few days. Thank you for your report!

[Ornanovitch]

Hey Stefan, any news on your side? Is there anything we can do to help you to progress on this?

[stefan-niedermann]

Not yet, I am currently a bit busy, but I didn't forget you. A Pull Request would of course be welcome, the root cause is probably in this method: https://github.com/stefan-niedermann/nextcloud-deck/blob/master/app/src/main/java/it/niedermann/nextcloud/deck/ui/card/details/CardDetailsFragment.java#L151

[stefan-niedermann]

Huh. Actually there might only one line missing in the else block:

registerEditorListener(binding.descriptionViewer);

[Ornanovitch]

Thanks, no problem of course!

Ok! I'll reed this piece of code and try to see if I feel comfortable with opening a PR (I never tried to play with the dev of a mobile app..!), if you can't find time soon :)

Best!

Hey, I don't really have the time to set up a proper test environment, but I had enough time to add the line.

Here's a DEV build of the app with the above change: APK ԅ(≖‿≖ԅ)

You can install the APK right beside your version from F-Droid, you'll end up with an additional deck app with the label "DEV" on the icon. Just connect it to your account, let it sync and then please check if the issue is resolved for you.

Looking forward to your feedback! 😊

[Ornanovitch]

Hi, thanks for those first attempts!

I tried both of your builds, the one from the Stefan's PR and the one from your branch desperateCoder, and sadly both of these apparently do not solve the issue. Worse, the title disappeared too 😅 But maybe it's a clue?

Note that we don't use the tags, neither the assign, nor the due date, so I don't know for those elements
