Use /Android/data for storage to permit syncing #12

Closed metal450 closed 2 years ago

metal450 commented 2 years ago

Following up on https://github.com/FFDA/SourCherry/discussions/9, cross-posting here as an issue/request.

Currently, the app stores its db in /data/data/lt.ffda.sourcherry/files, which requires root access & doesn't lend itself to syncing. Could you instead use the path /Android/data/lt.ffda.sourcherry/files? Many apps store their data under /Android/data/app_specific_dir, but since that doesn't require root like /data/data, it's easy to point something like SyncThing there to enable syncing across platforms (that's how I sync data for several other apps).

Thanks!

Hi,

These two commits should have done it: 7d8d9a9a83fd526dc66517fbba32faeaa3d3247c 5040a169db7a94e7306754b3a8a352ad89d99d13

when you are in MainActivity (database selection screen) in option menu select "Use external storage". Does it not act as what you expect?

Ahh, it does!! Thanks so much - didn't notice that option up there. Closing :)
