Nextcloud files app (dev) from fdroid not recognised

[lachmanfrantisek]

Describe the bug
The app (fdroid 0.0.2) shows the pop-up, that the Nextcloud files app is not installed. I am already using dev version of files app from the fdroid (20190502 version).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start the app
2. See the pop-up, that the Nextcloud files app is not installed.
3. Try to add a new account from the side menu. (what was weird, I'll fill a new issue for that.)
4. See the pop-up, that the Nextcloud files app is not installed.
5. Try clicking on ➕ , but it raises an error: ... Account.getId() on a null object reference.` (Should I need to create a new issue for this one?)

Expected behavior

• It would be nice if the app can recognise dev version of Nextcloud from fdroid. (Is the problem here, or on the site of the Nextcloud app.)
• Or at least allow adding a new account by hand.
• Handle the actions like ➕ without error, when there is no account.

Screenshots

(Sorry for the czech version.)

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: Xiami Mi4c
• Android-Version: 7

Stacktrace

Attempt to invoke virtual method `.....ck.model.Account.getId()` on a null object reference.

Thanks for your work! Looking forward to using it!

Thank you for the report. We are currently talking to the authors of the Single-Sign-On about how this issue can be fixed. :)

As far as I know SSO currently requires the official app installed, and cannot be used with dev version of files app.

Thank you for the response!

OK, so it is a "problem" with the main app?
Is it possible to support basic login or we would like to use Single-Sign-On only?

Thank you!

I've got something similar... With the normal Nextcloud Files app from F-Droid, when I open Deck, it shows a prompt to select the the account from the files app or "add an account"... When selecting my account (default) and clicking ok Deck shows an error with "you have to allow access to single-sign-on", however there was no promt or anything...

Hi @lachmanfrantisek, @violoncelloCH,
The SSO guys @David-Development and @tobiasKaminsky have released a new version supporting the Dev-App (see nextcloud/Android-SingleSignOn#63).

Feel free to test the latest master (i bumped the version) and if it works, get those guys a beer already! 😁

The latest version of this app (0.0.5) supports the dev app of files. Please wait a few days until it gets released on F-Droid or compile it from the master branch.
