Description

Steps to reproduce

  1. set only icon or only clear at without to enter status message
  2. click set staus

Expected behaviour

  • icon or clear at are set

Actual behaviour

  • icon or clear at not set

Environment data

Nextcloud app version: 3.19.0

solution

api seems to set single modification for icon or "clear at" only if status message is not empty (must be at least whitespace)

see android talk commit https://github.com/nextcloud/talk-android/pull/1668/commits/a89c5952fa2747c8877c7882a6106311257722bf

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the status API call to understand why icon or clearAt are ignored when status message is empty. Look at the network request and see if the message field is required. The fix might involve sending an empty string or handling the absence.
