Notes: share to other account

[tobiasKaminsky]

Requires: nextcloud/notes#1041

Once done, we can implement sharing to users on clients.

@luka-nextcloud can you help us a bit and tell us how you actually issue sharing a note to the other user, with correct sharing path?

[luka-nextcloud]

@tobiasKaminsky As I remember, sharing a note should be the same as sharing a file.

1. Open notes app
2. Open note detail (sidebar)
3. Navigate to sharing tab
4. Search user and submit share

[tobiasKaminsky]

The important part is, that a path can be sent with:

{"path":"/Notes/share to tobi.md","permissions":5,"shareType":0,"shareWith":"tobi","expireDate":"","attributes":"[{\"value\":true,\"key\":\"download\",\"scope\":\"permissions\"}]"}

But how do you know the correct path? E.g. my user tobi could use a different notes folder?

[tobiasKaminsky]

Confirmed.

• changed on tobi from /Notes to /Notes2
• user test will still try to share it to /Notes/3.md

[tobiasKaminsky]

According to Julius, Nextcloud server will directly share it to correct notes folder of recipient, as it is smart enough to understand that it is a note.
So only sharing api is needed to be used.

Using business and UI logic from Files client for the Notes app, not easily achievable due to tightly coupled dependencies. Thus, extracting it to the common library would not be the optimum solution.

However, we can implement same logic for the Notes app then extract common parts to the android-common library.
