  • @tobsto Thanks for the comments. I disagree however. All the comments you will see here are more than likely to be bug reports - you simply don't hear from all the folks it works for (I have access to these stats through the Google store). Secondly…
  • @protein%20function hello there. Thanks for getting back to me. It seems clear that ZotDroid is having trouble creating the correct directory with the right permissions. The errors seem to be consistent with that. I think that I need to simulate yo…
  • @protein%20function cool! Let me know how you get on. A few folks have asked for saving to ZotDroid. I've not tried the connectors myself (maybe I should) but it'd be nice to know how well they work and whether or not it's worth me adding this funct…
  • @protein%20function so does it work for you now? I hope so! I originally wrote ZotDroid because I really wanted to read my papers on my hammock (that was originally going to be the name!) and so the last thing on my mind was organising or adding ne…
  • @protein%20function yeah, I've had a lot more trouble with this than I thought I would. Zotdroid needs to read and write to a directory AND your PDF Reader etc ALSO need to read these directories and that's a bit of a pain for Android Security reaso…
  • @protein%20function Actually, reading your response again, I should point out the directory either needs to already exist, or be in a place where Zotdroid can actually create it. Given all the sandboxing that goes on, I'd suggest somewhere like the …
  • @protein%20function Thanks for getting back. Problem 2 is as it sounds - the directory just can't be written to by zotero or possibly read by the pdf reader. Ultimately it's a permissions thing. It seems the various androids do things differently a…
  • For these trying to upgrade, please give this a go: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/113412?hl=en I don't have much agency within the android store - I can only confirm 1.1 is there and that's the one that appears on the page. In the …
  • @Alsichkann-Zhang Hello there. Sometimes, Android chooses the incorrect directory to save attachments. More often than not it works, but sometimes, it has trouble. Go to the general settings and type in the save location under 'download directory'.…
  • @Jon%20Rubin actually Jon, best thing at this point would be to take this off the forum and email me at me@benjamin.computer - perhaps we can skype this and you can show me exactly what's going on and we can sort it from there.
  • @Jon%20Rubin Interesting. Are we talking about the same thing here? I don't think you can stick your name in the feedback of the bug reports - they are automatic. I've still not received any. I'm not quite sure what to suggest at this point.
  • @Jon%20Rubin so I can confirm I don't have the reports. Not quite sure why that is but it does explain a few things. It's a bit problematic as I really need to see these reports. Presumably you are connected to the internet when you are using ZotDro…
  • @Jon%20Rubin there is a third possibility actually. Looking at that report, assuming it is correct, I wonder if the program is trying to upgrade it's database? Have you completely 100% removed ZotDroid BEFORE installing the new version? The reason b…
  • @Jon%20Rubin hello there. I see only one bug report dated on the 4th of Feb which I assume is yours (they are anonymous of course). If this is the case you are definitely using the older version of the code. The report tells me the version numbers. …
  • @chendan93 version 1.1 is now out and should fix this. It is literally one line I've needed to add to change from a GET to OPTIONS request. Quite irritating but at least we've ironed it out. Thanks for your help!
  • Ok, I've found the answer. Webdav actually does work with Box as I suspected. What *doesnt* work is the Test Webdav. The reason? Box does not allow you to perform a GET request on a directory. Essentially, you can't just view the contents. This mea…
  • Ok, I tell a lie, it is possible to get an account for individual use - it's just a little more buried than the business ones. I'll take a look
  • I notice that the url for webdav access for box is: https://dav.box.com/dav/zotero Where does that extra number come from? I'm intrigued
  • I believe they want you to pay up front first though. Whether or not this is refunded later I've no idea but I looked before and that was the case. I suspect they will have some api guide I can look at. For my test setup, I've used my own webdav bac…
  • Sadly, Box don't do trial accounts so I can't test from here. I'll see if there is any literature on their specific setup.
  • Very interesting. If it's possible to get a trial account with box I shall do that and test things from my end. I can take a look at that later today hopefully. Are there any others errors you receive?
  • Hello there Personal webdav should be fairly simple. If you've setup storage and it works with the Zotero standalone client, it will work with Zotdroid. Firstly, navigate to the webdav settings. Enable the flick switch at the top to turn on the set…
  • Version 1.0 is now up and for sale. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=computer.benjamin.zotdr0id (yes, google insisted I change the package name. Don't ask!) Updates to version 1.0 (such as bug fixes and minor features) will be added …
  • Yes, I did - I'm quite annoyed with Google at present for unrelated reasons. Today is version 1.0 release day where we move out of beta so I'm working on that for now. If I think of a way I can solve your creds issue I'll get back to you.
  • Thanks, I appreciate that. What I need to solve this is, well basically, your phone :/ I need to see the error logs and perform many tests. It's just not feasible remotely.
  • Oh that is a shame. There's nothing I can do as I haven't had any crash reports sent for a few days now. My android 7 device works fine, both with zotero and custom storage. There may be an edge case I've just not managed to find yet, but without mo…
  • 0.99 is now out. I think this will be the last of the beta releases (hopefully!). Asking for explicit permission seems to work when it comes to getting the correct download directories and similar. Both personal and zotero webdav seems to work for …
  • @Diffform so I think I've found a major problem and I think it underscores a lot of the issues here. Unless you explicitly ask for permission to write to storage, you wont get it EVEN IF this is explicit in the manifest AND EVEN IF you use the API …
  • Chrome has a setting under the privacy option in the menu. Right at the bottom it says something like clear cache or clear saved settings. I believe that's enough. I can't reproduce your error at this end - I can download from the Zotero official …
  • @Diffform please confirm you have done a full uninstall of ZotDroid before you reinstall and try again. I highly suspect that the oauth keys are still in your cache, which is fine for sync BUT the userid is required for the file download link to wor…
