Where did you get the app from

Google Play

Problem you may be having, or feature you want

Works well enough, but synchronizing between devices with gpodder is completely broken, and documentation is non-existent. When I try to set it up, it gives me a blank text box and wants me to enter "Host name". What does that even mean?? No documentation..

Suggested solution

  • In the 'Choose your synchronisation provider' dialog (SynchronizationPreferencesFragment.java / alertdialog_sync_provider_chooser.xml), above the list of providers:
  • In the second and subsequent steps of the gPodder process, add a way to go back (e.g. to allow to edit the server if you notice a typo when entering credentials). See ViewFlipper in GpodderAuthenticationFragment.java
  • In the 'Login' dialog of all providers (currently gPodder & Nextcloud):
    • add a generic intro text: Please provide the address (URL or IP address) of your synchronization server.
    • change the label 'Host name' to 'Server address'
