Android: Turn pages by touching screen or pressing physical buttons

[Split from Available for beta testing: Zotero for Android]

It would be nice if there were options other than jump or continuous for turning pages, such as touching the screen or pressing the physical buttons on the e-book reader to move to the next page. I'm managing scanned books using Zotero, and I plan to use the beta app to access Zotero on my e-book reader, but I found it inconvenient that I couldn't turn pages using the physical buttons on the e-book reader.

    You can tap on the screen edge to go to the next or previous page.

    For physical buttons, you'd have to say what device you're using. This is just a standard Android app, so it doesn't know anything about running on an e-book reader, but if the buttons are mapped to standard keys (the same as if you were using a physical keyboard), we might be able to support those.

    I can't get page turning to work on Zotero Beta version 80 on a Boox Note 2. When I touch the side of the page in a pdf it either shows me the thumbnail pages at the bottom or does nothing. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I've restarted the app a few times without success.

    (I'd really like a page turning button like on the web viewer/Beta 7)

    Screen edge taps don't work for me as described in the latest release either with for example Page Transition set to continuous, page mode single, and scroll direction horizontal (side note - it would be nice if the vertical option of this last setting could scroll without animations, or generally disable animations for E-ink).

    Most reading apps also map next/previous page to device volume up and down buttons.
