Possibility to scan an image for a QR code via "Share"
torgeros opened this issue · comments
Feature description
The goal of this feature request is to make scanning a test result quicker and easier.
The process of registering a new test currently is as follows (at least for me):
- receive email with test result as pdf file
- open the pdf file (and enter the password if needed)
- take a screenshot
- close the "screenshot taken" popup/notification because I do not need it
- open CWA
- navigate to "scan"
- click "Open File"
- select the screenshot
The process of registering a test is proposed as follows:
- receive email with test result as pdf file
- open the pdf file (and enter the password if needed)
- take a screenshot
- on the notification or popup occurring (at least on all android phones), click Share
- select CWA (scan code)
At least for android I know that it is possible to retreive the original image file from the file system after the app has been opened by a share intent.
Problem and motivation
I register test results I receive via email around 3 to 4 times a week. The process of opening the mail, taking a screenshot, open CWA, register the test and then go to the gallery to delete the screenshot is pretty annoying.
That is why I thought of a possibility to utilize the existing screenshot popup that annoys me every time anyway to make the process a little faster and easier.
Is this something you're interested in working on
Yes (Android).
