More unambiguous referencing to Nextcloud files sync app for Android

Open p-bo opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hello, in following file, there is used https://github.com/nextcloud/news-android/blob/aaaeb6ae49dd6abbfbde3f86849d746305e0048f/News-Android-App/src/main/res/values/strings.xml#L118 for sure, intended meaning there is Nextcloud Android App (to reuse its authentification). But name "Nextcloud Files App" is used for server-side component of web interface already, which could be confusing for someone. But because that there is more Nextcloud-related apps for Android, referencing only as "Nextcloud Android App" could be unclear too (this seems it was motivation for chosen wording in current form of mentioned string probably). So what about compromise in form of something like

"Login using Nextcloud (file sync) Android App"

please?

@stefan-niedermann What's your opinion on this? In the deck app you only have the "Choose account" option. Maybe we can just rename it to "Choose account" as well in the Nextcloud News app..? At least then it would be consistent across the apps

Choose account might fit here as well. SSO catches the case when Files is not installed and redirects to the Store.

Nextcloud Files Android app would be the fully descriptive alternative, but I wouldn't recommend it for user facing labels.
