Cannot select app to share note with

Open user6529576559 opened this issue 7 years ago • 12 comments

First time it asked which app I want the note to share with, I selected it, shared the note, everything was OK. Next time I wanted to share an other note, then I saw that the app selection step is skipped and it wants to share with the previously selected app.

What version of Android are you using please?

Well, this info will hurt my pseudonimity, but 6.0.1

I don't think this an app bug - we're doing nothing special. Could you have clicked "always" share instead of "just once"? Could you try clear the defaults (see bottom of this thread) and try again?

There is no options like "always" or "just once" in case of sharing. I tried the suggestion you linked, it solved the problem but only for once. So I should reset the settings after every share or at least when I want to share with a different app. Other apps doesn't have this problem. Very strange, maybe a bug in android, but why only for standard notes?

Hm. Could you reset it again, and attach a screen shot of the popup? Also, what device are you using?

The strange thing is that the problem does not appear when I use the Export Data button in the settings screen.

I'll provide a screenshot later.

I think maybe the problem is that the "open with" dialog is shown instead of the "share with" dialog. (Based on the "Complete action using" text.)

I have made an innocuous change for v1.3 that might fix this. Please let me know!

deftelf avatar May 21 '17 10:05 deftelf

I tried it in 1.3 (beta) but this bug is still there.

We really could do with a developer with a Samsung phone to look into this if anyone is available
