Send...

[pianofreak]

I think I'm missing something. I seem unable to send documents. I
hit Menu, Send. It takes me to the compose message, and lets me
decide what format the doc should be sent in. But it doesn't allow me
to decide which doc should be sent. Am I doing something wrong?

When you use 'Send' option, a selected (highlighted) document from
list will be send.

?? How do I highlight and item in the list? When I touch it, it opens
the document in Browser, if I long-touch it, I get a menu to delete it
or view it... No matter what I do, it seems to want to send the top
item on the list.

[Art Wild]

Can you scroll through the list without pressing on document? What
phone do you have?

[carlaron]

I have the Motorola Droid.

I don't have many documents up on Google yet, so there aren't enough
to actually scroll... wait.. let me add a few more just to fill up the
list... yes, I can swipe up and down to scroll, but if I tab or click
one, it wants to view it, and a long-tap brings up the menu options to
delete or view it.

Hmm.. for a minute I thought it had to do with whether I'd created
them there, or uploaded them, or had them shared to me from another
Google Docs user. But no... it seems like no matter what else I do, it
is always the top document on the list that gets sent. No way to
select another one that I can see.

I have an HTC Hero and am able to use the trackball to highlight a
document without touching it. I see the Droid has a directional pad.
Are you able to select a document using the d-pad?

[carlaron]

OK, that works... I very rarely use the slide-out keyboard and
directional pad for anything, I didn't even think to use that to
"step" from file to file in the list.

Ok that is usable, but I guess if "Send" could be added to the pop-up
menu when you long-tap a file, that would be more intuitive when using
the touch-screen.

Thanks!

I'm still having trouble. I managed to get it to send once, but I
can't get it to send again. I have the Eris, and use the trackball to
highlight the doc I want to send. When it gets to the mail app, it
tells me I have a blank document. What am I doing wrong?

[pianofreak]

After playing with it all night, I've figured this much out: the send
ability works occasionally. If I try to send it with the text inside
the email, it always pulls what it needs with no problem. If I send
it with the document, say, as a pdf, sometimes it'll attach an actual
document, sometimes it'll attach a corrupted document. Any file that
gets attached as a corrupt document from then on will never be
attached correctly. If I use a file program (Astro) and attempt to
send what was downloaded through there, same thing; the one that gets
sent correctly with gDocs can be sent correctly through Astro, and not
correctly when gDocs can't.

So some where in the download-to-attach process things are getting
corrupted.
