Update db to kdbx and now can't save to phone storage #185

Open OverJohn opened 7 years ago

OverJohn commented 7 years ago

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S7edge (Verizon) running Android 6.0.1, KeePassDroid version is 2.0.6.4.

I have been using a v1 (.kdb) database for years and I decided to upgrade to the newer, more secure v2 (.kdbx) database. I downloaded the latest version (2.35) and imported my data into the kdbx file and moved it to my phone's storage. The Android app could open the file, so I thought all was well. But it could/would not save the database when I tried to create a new entry. Looks like I'm going back to the old v1 database.

@OverJohn use KeePass v2.34 instead of v2.35. In v2.35 there is a new KDBX format, which is not implemented in KeePassDroid (https://github.com/bpellin/keepassdroid/issues/175). If you use the previous minor version, I think you will have no problem.

While KeePassDroid might integrate this feature eventually, there is (at least) one other KeePass client for Android that has already done so. If you're interested, I have provided some links for you below:

Link to his CodePlex repo where he implemented support for the new DB format https://keepass2android.codeplex.com/workitem/657

Link to his Google+ community page where users have confirmed it works https://plus.google.com/+RobertoCocchiararo/posts/XKb2u8NLCUG

Finally, a link to the Google Play store where you can join his beta-testing group https://play.google.com/apps/testing/keepass2android.keepass2android

Hope this helps...enjoy!
