Automatically name new notes as their first line, instead of "New note (154)"

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Whenever I make a new note on the Android app, it'll just name the note "New note (n)", where n is the number of other notes already named "New note" plus one. This means that if I make a bunch of notes on the mobile app and look at them on the web client, I'll just have a bunch of notes called "New note (54)" "New note (55)" "New note (56)" "New note (57)" "New note (58)", etc with no information on what those notes actually are.

Describe the solution you'd like

Automatically make the note name be whatever is in the first line, just like in the web version of the Notes app. For example, if the note is:

Shopping list
-eggs
-milk
-butter

It should be automatically titled "Shopping list"

This does already happen when you don't type anything for like 3 seconds or so. I guess you write (and close) your notes too quickly for the mechanism to work.

However, I agree, that the implementation is not optimal, and it should also work when closing the note without waiting for the title to update.

I just tried typing some stuff on the Nextcloud Notes android app (4.4.0), waiting more than 3 seconds, then closing, and it still names it "New Note (n)"
