Description: Currently, from the UI it is not possible to create a new / empty document. We assume we always open a existing one. We need to add a UI element in document browser to add a new document for each type of document we support. Steps to Reproduce: . Actual Results: . Expected Results: .

There seem to be several people currently working on this: - Mert: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/35091 - Gautam: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/35183 At the same time, there is work being done by Jan, "to replace the current android/ios viewers", in: - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/35376 - and other, see: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/q/owner:%22jan+iversen+%253Cjani%2540libreoffice.org%253E%22+ios Some coordination may be needed.
It is common to announce that you're working on a bug in the bug report. I knew that Gautam was working on this and even explained him how to solve this properly. Sorry Mert I didn't remind Gautam to write it here. As for Jan's solution - it is interesting but I don't think our JS client can compete with native Android that uses OpenGL ES to accelerate the view. I encourage him to continue with the work and think both can coexist.
Sorry, I'll take care next time for announcing the bug I'm working on. The commit is under review right now(https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/35183/). @Tomaz, please review the commit whenever you get time and suggest changes (if any). Thanks.
