[FR] Mobile Support

[Xazin]

Description

We will soon begin work related to supporting Mobile, therefore I have started mapping out some of the subtasks that relate. For some of the subtasks, it will be valid to open a separate issue due to the amount of work or complexity of the task.

The list of subtasks is subject to change, as work starts we will discover more items.

Must haves:

• [BUG] Modify example application to fit on mobile
• [BUG] Refactor InputService, KeyboardService, and Shortcuts, to accommodate mobile
• [BUG] Popovers/Overlays such as the SelectionMenu is overflowing on mobile
• [BUG] Deleting a space between two words and adding it back, will move the cursor to the end of the word to the right #307
• [BUG] It is not possible to close the Soft Keyboard
• [BUG] It is not possible to scroll in the editor on mobile
• [BUG] ScrollPosition should follow the cursor on mobile
• [BUG] Cannot delete a newline at the beginning of a delta (eg. TextDelta does not move up to the previous line, and cannot delete list/checkbox item)
• [FR] Soft Keyboard should show a newline button instead of submit/done
• [BUG] Add support for Query Schemes for Android and iOS in the example app, see: https://pub.dev/packages/url_launcher#configuration - Consider adding a section to the readme about this
• [FR] Support drag selection handlers - When long pressing a word it is selected, it should be possible to drag the left or right part of the selection to expand it #308

We should create separate issues for tasks that contain more complexity or is open to discussion.

Impact

We will be able to support mobile not only with the editor itself but it is also required for https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/appflowy to support mobile.

Additional Context

This feature is part of the roadmap, we can create a milestone to track it, or add a new label eg. mobile-support or just mobile to make work related to this feature visible.

Thank you for your summary. Great job!

[BUG] Refactor InputService, KeyboardService, and Shortcuts, to accommodate mobile

FYI, I'm working on the second part.

Should we give the user an option for fullscreen mode? Currently by default the editor hides the system notification bar.

It will also be very nice if there is optimized support for Samsung DeX. Desktop interface for Samsung devices

It seems like there's support mobile platform as of 1.0.0-dev0 . Could we get an update on this ticket? Is this ticket completed and are all the must haves covered?

@Xazin How about breaking down this issue to some tickets?

Hi @Xazin besides the two bugs left is there anything major missing before this issue can be closed, I guess this is initial support towards the mobile app

For now we will close this, most issues have already been completed thanks to Lucas and Yijing.
