Automatic sync for webdav

[Nebucatnetzer]

I love the integration of webdav.
However is there a way to automatically sync the notebooks?
Or is there an intent so that I can trigger it from Tasker?

am startservice --user 0 -a com.orgzly.intent.action.SYNC_START com.orgzly/com.orgzly.android.sync.SyncService

Doesn't work.

See issue #8

Sure, that's a good idea, just like ownCloud desktop client. I think the manually swipping down to sync is a temporal workaround, it would all has the same behaviours with local repository eventually.

It's part of #8 as @NiceFeather said. Auto-sync is restricted to Directory repository type as there were issues with Dropbox syncing. It was too easy to hit their API way too much.

There is a plan to queue syncing requests (I plan to start playing with WorkManager for that soon), but perhaps this should be expedited as I assume a lot of WebDAV users will be using a local storage anyway (like Nextcloud), myself included.

Perhaps a per-repository option could be added to control auto-syncing.

am startservice --user 0 -a com.orgzly.intent.action.SYNC_START com.orgzly/com.orgzly.android.sync.SyncService

You might need to use start-foreground-service.

I wasn't able to get it working with the shell command in Tasker. It always showed an error even though the command worked with adb shell.
I implemented now this: #8 (comment) and it's working.
I don't know if we want to close this issue in favour of #8 since my problem is now solved and #8 basically covers everything already?

Ah yes, com.orgzly.android.ActionReceiver was actually created for this and is preferable instead of using SyncService directly.

Sounds good, I'll tag it as a duplicate.
