we are happy to announce the first release candidate for the upcoming Android release. It has already been uploaded to the Play store and should show up in the next couple of hours. As for the f-droid RC release, we published the PR but the publishing by f-droid might take some time.
Features you will get with this release are:
FIDO U2F support on login
load only 60 images on photo view, then load more on demand
do not auto upload .thumbnail files
allow to send crash report via email
paste clipboard into Collabora
use Conscrypt to support TLS1.3
show sharees in list view
lots of bugfixes and refinements under the hood to provide an even more stable app
We are also still lacking some translations, so if you have some time to spare, that would really help us bringing the client to the users in as many languages as possible https://www.transifex.com/nextcloud/nextcloud/android/
I wonder if you could help me. I had to re-set my computer when I tried to re-install Nextcloud I get the message âThis email address is already registeredâ So I canât complete the re-install.So my photos are stuck in Nextcloud and I canât get my account back.
I will give a try it sounds nice, however I mostly use nextcloud inside firefox to be able to enjoy all App I enabled, I mostly use the dedicated app for the auto upload, and I wish we could ask nextcloud to scan and upload the file that where already inside the folder before we set it for auto upload.
Any idea about when Phone Track will be available for IOS?
Afaik Nextcloud in general doesnât ship translations for Irish, so unfortunately the Android client doesnât either.
Not really, from what you posted I guess you need to find the login while your error message point too you rather trying to re-register an account with existing data (which wonât work of course).
Hi, Iâm curious about the FIDO U2F support in the android client.
Iâm a happy user of u2f on the web interface in my NC15 instance.
The key iâm using is a Yubico Security Key NFC and I installed the Nextcloud Dev app from F-droid (version 20190829).
My questions:
Are the features included in this version, how would I test it and would it work with NFC?
I never used it with NFC, but only via usb adapter.
When you first authenticate your account you will see the possibility to use u2f and a bottom bar with intstructions will pop up.
Thanks for assisting Tobias and Andy.
TFA via u2f token works great with this build. Both nfc and usb work (made my otg cable useful again)
The reason I didnât get a TFA notification is because I was using an app token. I was so used to using that instead of the main password. Nice to see that all TFA options are available in the android app, equal to the web gui.
One tip for NFC: keep the key on the phone long enough (1-2 seconds). The phone vibrates when NFC is detected, but that doesnât mean that the token is accepted in the app.
The interface for u2f looks nice and clean, although english only, perhaps I need to file an issue for that on github.
Great work!
Itâd be nice if the NC Android client was less battery draining. It is by far the application that uses the most battery on my smartphone (2.4% on an hourly average).
Afaik there hasnât been any change regarding the auto upload implementation. Best to report such issues to the tracker on github at https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues
