Cannot export backups, neither CSV

[efraletti]

backup fails with message "Erro: O backup falhou"

export CSV fails with message: "Erro: a exportação falhou. Motivo: Could not create export directory"

setting "backup path" is set to blank. trying to set it to various paths did nothing to suppress the above messages.

i created the folder "/storage/emulated/0/Autu Mandu CSV" and even a blank file called car.csv, but the error persists, as "open failed: EACCESS (permission denied)", even though the app has storage persmissions on system config.

I intended to export a simple CSV with one record of each type to see the data format and create a CSV with my data that I have in spreadsheet format.

I could help with code but java is not my strength. thank you and looking forward to having this robust app in the tool belt for many years to come

I try to achieve the same: exporting some basic example entries to get hands on the data structure and later to prepare an export out of aCar to then import it into Autu Mandu.

Unfortunately I cannot export in Autu Mandi. Hitting the export menu item does nothing, no error no file no nothing.

Can you try with new 4.0.1 version? https://github.com/juanro49/autu-mandu/releases

[efraletti]

Unfortunately, the error persiats, even after a clean install, wiping app data and cache, and giving storage permission when asked (and checking it is indeed given on the system app info).

I'm on Android 10, if it helps.

Thanks

Similar results over here. Nothing happens after clicking 'Export CSV'. Exactly the same happens while clicking 'Backup' or 'Restore' buttons.

Can I help with troubleshooting this issue somehow?

[juanro49]

You must manually set the "Allow to manage all files" option in the permissions settings. By setting permissions to access the file system when prompted, it only grants permissions to access media content, which is not a valid option for the backup to work.

[essys]

It's greyed out, I cannot grant any permissions.

oh... What's your android version?

[essys]

Pixel 5 on iodéOS 4.4 (fork of LineageOS 20), so it is Android 13.

I try this in virtual device and you are right. In Android 13 and upper we cannot grant any permissions. I have to check the new permissions requirements of the new Android versions to correct this.

Hi!

I have released a new version which should have solved the problem https://github.com/juanro49/autu-mandu/releases

[essys]

Now while entering the 'Backup & Export" settings, the settings closes and the app jumps back to the main screen. Repeating this steps the app crashes.

[efraletti]

for me it works, export it writes the files and I could see the CSV format, now to convert some spreadsheets and try to import my last 5 years of data for my vehicles and set some reminders

[juanro49]

Now while entering the 'Backup & Export" settings, the settings closes and the app jumps back to the main screen. Repeating this steps the app crashes.

In previous version, you have backup target option empty o with content?

can you put the log when app crash?

adb logcat -v color | grep -F "`adb shell ps | grep autumandu  | tr -s [:space:] ' ' | cut -d' ' -f2`"

After last tests I am pretty sure it contained some content.

It's because previous version of backup target has content (/storage/emulated/0/AutuMandu).

In the next few days I will try to add a fix so that if the route is invalid, it will default to the default route instead of crashing.

For the moment, if you have a backup, you can delete data from the app and restore it, or if you have root, you can edit the /data/data/org.juanro.autumandu/shared_prefs/org.juanro.autumandu_preferences.xml file leaving the backup_folder key empty.

[essys]

You are right, this worked. I removed the backup_folder string in preferences.xml as root and now I can access the export settings again. Also exporting a CSV and the db worked just fine. Thank you very much for the support. Now I can also try to craft a new CSV with old data from the past to reimport it later.
