[FEATURE REQUEST] Open and create .url shortcut files
TheOneRing opened this issue · 2 comments
Please implement support for creating and opening .url files.
The feature should behave similarly to owncloud/ios-app#1344 but follow the normal android UX.
TASKS
- Research (if needed)
- Create branch feature/open_create_url_shortcut_files
- Development tasks
- Create dialog fragment with url and name file inputs
- Upload the file to the server
- Click on file url and download
- Open alert dialog to navigate to browser
- Redirect to the browser
- Code review and apply changes requested
- Design test plan
- QA
- Merge branch feature/open_create_url_shortcut_files into master
Some Android specific details:
-
Shortcuts
should be a new option in the FAB menu -
We need an icon, similar to the iOS one, for the
.url
files -
As first iteration, only two input fields: name (taking care of name conflicts) and url (with no validation, but error handling). Later, we can take advantage of deeplinks as iOS does (open to discussion)

Hello @tbsbdr!
With reference to this issue, I have doubts about the choice of the icon. To align them with iOS and web, I have chosen the same icon. Is this correct? Image below:
On the other hand, I have put the shortcut icon as the last item in the list in the FAB. Is this order correct?
- Upload
- New folder
- New shortcut
