Since the above alpha version of 5.1.0.0 I have not been able to open even simple LibreOffice files.

All that happens is that the file is selected and some time is spent waiting for the file to load and then it reverts to the file selection screen.

Just to clarify, the above version is the last one that I have that will open files. Since then I have downloaded many nightly compilations and none have worked.

If my information is correct, the above version was compiled last July.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S5 with Android 5.0.

Thank you everyone for your efforts.

Tested today with version from here: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Android-ARM@24-Bytemark-Hosting/current/    and I can open files without problem.

Thanks for your response.

You use the same nightly download site as I do.

Even following your link has the same result: unable to load and display .odt file.

Have tried trying deleting cache and data files, then uninstalling and reinstalling. No better.

Are you using a different version of Android?

I have android 4.4.4

Please attach test file.

Since my last post I have discovered that the small test .odt documents I have been using load if they are in the standard Documents folder of the "Internal" card.

I had been continually using the Documents sub-folder of my local ownCloud folder also in the "Internal" card. The pathway contains an intermediate folder which has an email address as a folder name. Documents in the local ownCloud folder loaded using alpha version of 5.1.0.0. But not since then.

I can confirm with 5.2
