I'm trying to build a plugin for the Moodle App where the user is able to submit multiple text files in one assigment.
My problem ist, I can only add content to the assigment view (The orange submission button) but im not able add the submission as the app is telling me in the last section of the following image.
Does sombody know how i can edit the content of the assignment. Same as it is possible in the moodle web version?
Hi,
you need to adapt your plugin to work in the Moodle app. Here's a guide on how to do it:
https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Moodle_App_Plugins_Development_Guide
Since you're developing an assign submission plugin you want to use AddonModAssignSubmissionDelegate. Please notice this type of plugins aren't as easy to adapt as others like activities.
You will have to use the Javascript API (see this section of the guide) to override the default functions of the handler in the app. Please click here to see the definition of the functions your handler can implement. The functions getComponent and getPluginName are automatically implemented for your plugin, but you will need to implement the other functions: prepareSubmissionData, isEnabledForEdit, hasDataChanged, getSizeForEdit, etc.
Good luck!

I tried to implement the plugin as u said. For any reason the isEnabledForEdit function does not work. As you can see in my added JS File I implemented the componentInit function which works fine and the isEnabledForEdit which don't works. Do have any further advice? I'm still facing the issue that the user is not able to see the "Add Submission" Button.
Am I doing something completly wrong?

I used the master branch of the app.
Is this good enough? Otherwise I'll try the integration branch.
Unfortunately I don't know any assign submission plugin with app support, sorry. You can check how the core ones work, maybe that can help you understand what does each function do:
File submission handler
File submission template
Online text submission handler
Online text submission template
Right now we don't have enough resources to document step by step how to create each type of plugin, but feel free to edit the wiki to improve the documentation and help other developers Usually devs learn more from an existing example rather than documentation, it's a shame in this case there is no existing example. Maybe your plugin can be the example to check once you're done!
When I use that functions and add a editor field in my get_form_elements() function like:
```php
```
I'm able to view that editor in my webversion of the plugin. I'm also able to view the same editor in the moodle app by using the "<core-rich-text-editor>". I can get all the submission data for the editor in my javascript by using the plugins editorfields:
In my componentInit function i can use "this.plugin.editorfields" to get my data.
Later on in my prepareSubmissionData function I can save the users changes with
<ion-item>
<ion-label position="stacked">My label</ion-label>
<ion-input type="text" name="mytext" autocorrect="off"></ion-input>
</ion-item>
