Getting help :rescue_worker_helmet:

Note: The section Known Problems / FAQs below may already document your situation.

If you need assistance or want to ask a question about the Android app, you are welcome to ask for support in the Nextcloud Help Forum. If you have found a probable bug or have an enhancement idea, feel free to open a new Issue on GitHub.

If you're not sure if something is a bug or a configuration matter (with your client, server, proxy, etc.), the Nextcloud Help Forum is probably the best place to start so that you can get feedback (you can always return here, after getting feedback there, to report a suspected bug).

Keep in mind, that this repository only manages the Android app. If you find bugs or have problems with the server/backend, you should use the Nextcloud Help Forum to ask for help or report the bug to the Nextcloud server team!

Logs

Getting debug info via logcat :mag:

With a linux computer:

• enable USB-Debugging in your smartphones developer settings and connect it via USB
• open command prompt/terminal
• enter adb logcat --pid=$(adb shell pidof -s 'com.nextcloud.client') > logcatOutput.txt to save the output to this file

Note: You must have adb installed first!

On Windows:

• download and install Minimal ADB and fastboot
• enable USB-Debugging in your smartphones developer settings and connect it via USB
• launch Minimal ADB and fastboot
• enter adb shell pidof -s 'com.nextcloud.client' and use the output as <processID> in the following command:
• adb logcat --pid=<processID> > "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\logcatOutput.txt" (This will produce a logcatOutput.txt file in your downloads)
• if the processID is 18841, an example command is: adb logcat --pid=18841 > "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\logcatOutput.txt" (You might cancel the process after a while manually: it will not be exited automatically.)
• For a PowerShell terminal, replace %USERPROFILE% with $env:USERPROFILE in the commands above.

On a device (with root) :wrench:

• open terminal app (can be enabled in developer options)
• get root access via "su"
• enter logcat -d --pid $(pidof -s com.nextcloud.client) -f /sdcard/logcatOutput.txt

or

• use CatLog or aLogcat

Note: Your device needs to be rooted for this approach!

Development version :hammer:

• APK (direct download)
• F-Droid
