Unable to create account

[ruslan-murzin]

When I try to set cursor on any input field form page closes and app goes to the main screen.

Meizu M3 Max, Android 6.0 (Flyme 6.2.0.0G)

Video available here https://cloud.murzin.kz/index.php/s/davdroid-error

[rfc2822]

Very strange. I don’t have any idea about that, nor have we received similar reports (yet).

Does this also happen with the latest DAVx⁵ version (2.2.1.3)?

[ruslan-murzin]

I’m sorry. Video was made few days ago. I just updated the app, but the issue still remains.

[rfc2822]

Is there a hint what the reason could be in the DAVx⁵ logs? Otherwise, do you know how to use adb?

[ruslan-murzin]

App logs:

ADB shows extremely much logs (I don’t know adb but I did everything according your link).

[rfc2822]

@gazmar Are there any hints in adb or any ideas how this can be reproduced?

[gazmar]

@rfc2822 sorry, cannot run adb as i only have android devices no windows.
as for flyme, the only way seems to be to load onto a meizu device running flyme equivalent of android 6 or 7.

the issue seems to be the edit panels to enter any of url, username, password when attempting to create a new account (pluskey is acepted by the app). focus into box is accepted, any alphanumeric key exits you out of app back to app launch point.

hope this helps

[gazmar]

@rfc2822 hi just located v 1.7.1ose in an archive and that version works ok to sync calendars, if that helps debugging…

[rfc2822]

This should be fixed in the latest master version; can I send an APK for testing?

[Denis Speranskiy]

The same issue here.

[Denis Speranskiy]

Where can I find the archive with v 1.7.1?

[rfc2822]

@Denis-Speranskiy See https://www.davx5.com/faq/can-i-use-davdroid-with-an-old-android-version

[makoven]

Found a funny workaround. I connected a mouse to the phone. Then I clicked on the input field with the right mouse button and selected “paste”

[vjs]

This problem has still not been resolved in davx5 v2.5.x-ose (x=1,2,3).
A keyboard interface does not appear to allow account details to be entered. Clicking on the field redirects to a debug trace
(https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/Cx2uoTvptc5g103kvMIhNg).

I have successfully applied davdroid / davx5 updates since october 2018, but today I reinistalled davx5 from scratch (in an attempt to use Tasks app with davx5) and ran into the problem.

I have installed DAVdroid 1.9.8.1-gplay to be functional (!) and this version works correctly with Tasks.

[rfc2822]

As far as I know, this is this problem: https://stackoverflow.com/q/51891415 in the Google Material components (AndroidX, former support library).

According to https://stackoverflow.com/a/57363442 (posted 3 hours ago), material-components 1.1.0-alpha09 (released 7 days ago) fixes the problem.

@vjs @makoven @Denis-Speranskiy @gazmar I have sent an APK with the update over email; please tell me whether it works.

[vjs]

I can confirm that the .apk you sent through (davx5-297-2.3.5-standard-release_newmaterialcomponents.apk) fixes the bug I reported on the 4th of August.

Thank you very much !

[rfc2822]

@vjs Thanks for the update. The new material-components library with the workaround (as far as I understand it, it’s actually a Meizu bug) will be used in the next DAVx⁵ version, so that the problem should vanish.

[rfc2822]

Should now work with DAVx⁵ 2.5.4 (which is currently available for beta testers).
