"Open with" doesn't list ICSx⁵

[David_Hedlund]

I clicked on my .ics file in a file manager and it showed a number of apps in the “Open with” dialog window but ICSx⁵ is not listed there.

Hello,

What would the expected operation be? ICSx⁵ is not a tool for importing, but for subscribing.

Do you want to subscribe a local .ics file?

What would the expected operation be?
It would be nice to be able to subscribe to the files the way I described.

You need to put the .ics file to a web host and try to open the http://…ics link in the browser. Then ICSx5 should be an option to subscribe. Does it work?

No I don’t, I can use file:///storage/emulated/0/CalendarEvents/Calendar.ics as well, but that is inconvenient. It would be much simpler to just click on Calendar.ics in a file manager and “open with” ICSx⁵.

It’s just a question of how deep one wants to hardcode the directories… https://gitlab.com/bitfireAT/icsx5/blob/e8ae91303b0102dd6bd875fc3754aa8fbbb153ad/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L82
