Hi Chen. Many thanks for your background sync version! I've been using it for a short time and it seems to work really well. A few quirks and bugs perhaps (sometimes background sync seems to stop) but overall a massive improvement and amazing work! Makes the Android version actually usable : )
I was wondering if you're going to continue development with this and keep it up to date with current/new features, eg Trash? Would be great if you could incorporate that and keep it current!
I don't know too much about the development of Joplin but I'm hoping your incredible work can make it into the main Android release at some point. It's such a massive improvement on the current version which is tricky of course to keep foreground on a phone.
Let's hope that something similar comes up for iOS, too! Background sync for mobile would be a huge gamechanger and close the gap to all other note-taking apps I know of (which don't have this problem, probably because they're native developments for Android or iOS).
Just coming from Evernote I am actually baffled at what Joplin can do. Background syncing is also for me a missing feature. Not because Evernote could do it (it does not) but because sync on Joplin is longer (in spite of the fact I use Joplin Cloud) and particularly so with encryption (which Evernote can also not do)
Any chance that this background sync makes the main distribution? Is the non iOS readiness a show stopper for a full deployment?
Still using it daily? Any downsides? I'm tempted to try it out. Will I need to rebuild the resources/database at the first sync? Is it better to uninstall the official Joplin apk first, with all its data/cache?
Also, does it drain the battery a lot when not in use?
Thanks for this great addition
It's good to see that my message was helpful for you. Unfortunately, @Chen 's application is not working. When the synchronization button is pressed, the application freezes.
My application was just a prototype, it contains some bug. As far as I observed, sometime, it will block phone to sleep. Still try to find time to debug it.
I can merge the latest change when I have time. Hope I can finish it next month.
You're doing an amazing job, truly. Thank you so much. It's wonderful to read your message again. Know that there are followers eagerly awaiting your work.
