Bug ID: 125317
Summary: LO Viewer for Android is not recognized as able to
open .odt files
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.1.0.0.alpha0+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Android Viewer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: jim.avera at gmail.com
Description:
After installing LO Viewer for Android, attempting to open a .odt file using
the "My Files" app still gives an error saying no application exists to open
that file type.
I went to the Android config "apps" screen, and for Libre Office Viewer the
"Set as default" section was greyed out (inactive) with the notice "None set as
default".
There is no obvious way that I could find to manually configure the app to be
used to open .odt files.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Libre Office Viewer for Android through the Play Store
2.Get an .odt file onto the phone, e.g. download with a browser
3.Use the "My Files" app (a Samsung thing, don't know about others) to navigate
to the relevant folder (e.g. Downloads) and tap .odt file to open it.
Actual Results:
Pop-up says there is no app configured to open that file type, and offers to
open Android Play Store to install something.
Expected Results:
Installing LO Viewer for Android should automatically configure the os to make
LO Viewer the default app for, at least, the ODF file types; or provide a user
dialog to configure same.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I installed LibreOffice Viewer Version 6.1.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID 484d0ea842da
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy s7 running Android 8.0.0
