4.0.3 Apps Missing from Sharing Menu

Dan

Hello,

When sharing a resource, some well known apps are missing from the Sharing menu, i.e., Google Drive and Quickoffice. However, Google Keep is listed.

1. If they are not already installed, install the following: Google Drive, Quickoffice and Google Keep
2. Open Bible app
3. Navigate to Bible verse
4. Tap once to show the alternate Action Bar
5. Tap the Share icon
6. Select a verse from the Choose a location dialog
7. Note that Google Drive and Quickoffice are not in the list of apps, but Google Keep is.
8. It also appears odd that Bible is listed, but Faithlife isn't.

1. Continuing from above. Select Keep (works as expected)
2. Tap the Back button on device to return to Bible app
3. Tap the Home button to exit Bible app
4. Open Keep
5. Open the newly shared resource item
6. Tap Share -> See all
7. Note that Faithlife appears twice
8. As a side note, I noticed that Quickoffice is not listed but Drive is. It could be that Quickoffice isn't properly registered for the content type.

Additional info:

• Bible app
• Nexus 10
• Android 4.3
• Drive 1.2.352.10
• Quickoffice 6.1.181

Thanks,

Dan

There are several interesting observations here.

I can duplicate your experience of Google Drive not showing up in the Share list, but I DO have an "Android System" option that appears, and when I click that it gives me "Copy to Clipboard" and "Google Drive" as the two options. I'm not sure why that is, but I can look into it. 

It also appears odd that Bible is listed, but Faithlife isn't.

Actually, I just noticed I have several "Android System" options, and Faithlife appears under some of them. This is quite odd.

Note that Faithlife appears twice

Ahh, now this is interesting as well, but I understand why this one is happening. Prior to v4, you could share text to the Faithlife app and it would let you post it to one of your Faithlife groups. v4 adds the option to share plain text to any of our apps and create a new unattached note with that text. Two sharing options in Faithlife makes it show up twice on the sharing list. I wonder if the simplest solution might just be to remove the option to share text to an unattached note in Faithlife.

I've written up a case to investigate all this sharing weirdness. Thanks for the very helpful report.
