Share not work

When I try share generated table, it does not work. For example, when I share to Gmail, it says 'Failed to attach file'. Similarly when share with other applications.

Same here, tested with many sharing-target apps, nothing works, the least generic and most frequent error message I get is: No content provider: content://de.k3b.android,contentproviderhelper/ContentProviderHelper.html

However there is some kind of workaround to export the results: just use Android stock copy/paste:

  • use Select allon some text the results table: all and only the relevant text is selected, including the table's headers
  • paste it in some app like Bill's Farmer's excellent Editor app (available in F-Droid)
  • there save it as a file, with a txt or csv extension to ease further handling esp. on Android: indeed the columns are separated with tabs, nice! :+1:
  • at that point, I have no Android Open-Source CSV app to recommend, but I would have tried https://github.com/k3b/CSVDroid if only there were a release on F-Droid (hint hint nudge) :wink:

Please keep that unadvertised feature, it is truly helpful just as it is! A Copy all results to clipboard menu item could be great icing on the cake though.
