Passcode trigger inside App

[soqa]

Android

If you have a passcode enabled and click offscreen while viewing a file, you will be forced to re-enter the passcode w/o ever having left the app.

Reproduce

• Have a passcode enabled.
• Navigate to the Hive.
• Select a file for action.
• Instead of choosing to open the file, click back to the Hive.
• You will be required to enter your passcode.

This has always been true.

On android, viewing a file is leaving the app as it uses another app to
view it.

That is why in the passcode settings you can set it to only require a
passcode after a certain timeout.

I had a feeling this was the case, I just thought I would mention it since I haven't tested this guy in a long while. :)

Tommy: even if we haven't actually completed the action of viewing the file yet?

Not sure.

It might be that something has changed in terms of when Cordova or Android itself decides the app has gone “into the background”…

Certainly fixing this would be a thing unto itself outside the scope of this work… but maybe a simple short timeout (20-30 seconds?) could be added as a default? That would be pretty easy, probably...

I'm ok with it being outside the scope, I just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page on whether it was expected behavior or not.
