copy fails for very large manifests

Open StevanWhite opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

This is a Nokia 1 running Android 9.

  • Open the entry for the system "Settings" app -- which is very large, of course.
  • "View manifest file" -- takes a few seconds to render.
  • Long-click in the text.
  • Select all
  • Copy

"Failed to copy to the clipboard"

I presume this has to do with the very large size of that manifest. Other, smaller manifest files are copied just fine.

Look... the manifest viewer is pretty limited. It has no search capabilities, etc. And it has this copy problem. SUGGESTION: Chunk this manifest viewer functionality, and replace it with a manifest "share" functionality so the user can send the manifest to any other app that can handle XML or text. That would be the Androidesque solution.
