[Libreoffice-qa] Weekly Focus: Android Viewer

[Stéphane Guillou]

Hi QA team!

Last week, we focused on getting the number of "QA:needsComment" reports 
down. We went from 160 to 135 in one week – the lowest number since July 
2020! Thanks everyone! Let's keep an eye on those ones regularly to make 
sure no issue is lost in history. You can track how the tally changes in 
the QA Dashboard (Timelines tab): 
https://stragu.shinyapps.io/lo_qa_dashboard/

For this week, we want to have a look at existing reports about the 
Android Viewer, and also test the latest build to make sure no serious 
new issue has popped up.

This is because we are planning to have the Android Viewer back in 
Google Play! Even though it has never left the F-Droid repositories, it 
hadn't been updated until earlier in the year. Now that it is up to date 
on F-Droid, the app will also be re-listed on Google Play to reach more 
users.

To test a recent build, you can either use the build available on 
F-Droid, or head to this link to get a more recent trunk build:

If you don't have an Android device, you can use an emulator, for example:

  * quickemu (along with quickgui if you want a graphical user
    interface): https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickgui#readme

  * Waydroid: https://waydro.id/

  * Android Studio: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator

Please review the existing reports listed here: 
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/buglist.cgi?component=Android%20Editor&component=Android%20Viewer&list_id=1675448&query_format=advanced&resolution=--- 
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/buglist.cgi?component=Android%20Editor&component=Android%20Viewer&list_id=1675448&query_format=advanced&resolution=--->
We start the week with 36 open reports, but it is possible that some of 
those are not relevant anymore, or need to be updated.

Notes:

  * The "Android Viewer" can also edit documents, if Experimental Mode
    is turned on.

  * The Android Viewer uses the same codebase as desktop LibreOffice,
    which is why it is part of the same product on Bugzilla. Therefore,
    a bug you experience in the Viewer might already be reported in e.g.
    the Writer component.

  * If an issue can be reproduced in Collabora's Android app, but not in
    the LibreOffice Android Viewer, the report might have to be marked
    as "moved" to the Collabora repository:
    https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues

As always, thank you for your help! And please join us on IRC 
<https://web.libera.chat/?chan=#libreoffice-qa> or Telegram 
<https://t.me/LibreOffice_QA> to discuss.
