ERROR Key file not found #2

Open fastndirect opened 11 years ago

fastndirect commented 11 years ago

Hello,

i installed Vecna on my smartphone because i like the idea to use gpg for a password safe, but i can't get it to work.

Smartphone: Sony Xperia U (ST25i) Android 4.0.4

What i tried to make it work: 1) Created public and private RSA2048 (and RSA1024) key using GnuPG (tried Enigmail plugin, Thunderbird 17.0.2 and manually) 2) Encrypted a textfile.txt using the created private key with the content:

account - a descriptive name of what the password is for username - the username for the account password - the password for the account

Checked if decryption works on the desktop PC.

3) Copied pulic key, private key and the encrypted textfile to /mnt/sdcard/Notes/ 4)Setup password file path in Vecna to /mnt/sdcard/Notes/textfile.txt and key path to /mnt/sdcard/Notes/key.asc 5) Then i get the error Message

"ERROR Key file not found"

I also tried to create a key and textfile using APG, set the path to "/sdcard/Notes/key.asc" since some apps add the /mnt by themselves, used different file extensions and checked if it works when the files are on root folder of the sdcard and rechecked the path a few times, but got the same error in any case. Also i tried to build your app in eclipse, but it hangs up while launching. I didn't have the time yet to check why eclipse hangs up, maybe a library is missing?

Best regards,

fastndirect

Same for me.

There are a few lines that give that error message. I will try to improve the error message so you can see what is the real problem. I was pretty lazy with the error handling so it's not the best
