[BUG] Creating/deleting file via DocumentProvider is not working as expected

[donmor]

Actual behaviour

• Create and save a file via DocumentProvider in another app, and it can't be accessed again, until opened again from SAF.
• The failed entries has -1 as path while accessible entries has positive integers
• Deleting a file with persistent uri in another app won't work.

Expected behaviour

• Create and save a file, and it is created and saved

Steps to reproduce

1. Setup an owncloud account
2. Create a file in another app (e.g. Tiddloid) via DocumentProvider
3. Close the file and try opening it from app's recent file list (for Tiddloid, it is the main activity)

Can this problem be reproduced with the official owncloud server?

Unknown. I can't access this server at all.

Hi @donmor! i did a check with Tiddloid (installed from F-droid) and could not reproduce the problem. Tiddloid has documents provider access and it is able to save a new wiki file in the chosen folder.

I recorded a video with the steps i did to create the new file. Let me know if there is something different by comparing to your case, so that we can scope where the problem could be:

Looks like my description was wrong. Edited.

BTW I can't find ownCloud in SAF "open directory" interface. Will it be an option to enable directory managing / literal path for SAF?

Now, i was able to reproduce that problem, saved file was not enabled for opening/removing. Will check this.

that's not implemented ftm. Only available for single files (am i right, @joragua?).

Yes, right! It's only available for single files. Regarding the bug, we will take a look and see what's going on! 🍻
