Support password protected/encrypted files

[marcel263]

The app v 3.26 refused to open password-protected xlsx file. It gave a warning "unsupported file". LibreOffice desktop would open it, prompting for password.

@TomTasche do you know if this runs the core backend or the online one?

This is online, we don't parse XLSX locally yet: https://github.com/opendocument-app/OpenDocument.droid/blob/main/app/src/main/java/at/tomtasche/reader/background/OoxmlLoader.java#L31

Apologies I assumed the app would support various types of OpenDocument formats

I think this should work @marcel263 - does this only show up for a single file or all of the encrypted XLSX? In case this only happens for a specific file would you be able to share it with us?

Could not reproduce the problem in core but the file does not load correctly in the app.
Tested with 3.10.4

I guess that is a workflow problem in the android code @TomTasche

Dear, the attached file was created with Calc 7.6.6.3 on Linux x86_64. It was password-protected with "password". It reproduces the app's issue of not opening.

@TomTasche do you know why this might happen?

[TomTasche]

I couldn't remember how we handle XLSX so I had to dig it up myself: we upload them to our own server, which uses the LibreOffice CLI to convert the file to PDF and then return that PDF to the client for rendering: https://github.com/opendocument-app/OpenDocument.server/blob/master/index.js

Looks like I simply never thought of password-protected files while implementing the server... We would need to add a server response accordingly and handle that on the client to ask for the password.

Alternatively we could use core for encrypted files? Although this requires some logic to handle in which case to use what
