Broken conversion rates

[madhead]

Not sure this will be addressed, the project looks abandoned.

Last year's devaluation totally ruined our currency (BYR) and now one EUR / USD cost more than 20K BYRs. Yahoo cannot handle such rates:

select * from yahoo.finance.xchange where pair in ("BYREUR","BYRUSD")

{
 "query": {
  "count": 2,
  "created": "2016-02-03T22:50:23Z",
  "lang": "en-US",
  "results": {
   "rate": [
    {
     "id": "BYREUR",
     "Name": "BYR/EUR",
     "Rate": "0.0000",
     "Date": "2/3/2016",
     "Time": "10:50pm",
     "Ask": "0.0000",
     "Bid": "0.0000"
    },
    {
     "id": "BYRUSD",
     "Name": "BYR/USD",
     "Rate": "0.0000",
     "Date": "2/3/2016",
     "Time": "10:49pm",
     "Ask": "0.0000",
     "Bid": "0.0000"
    }
   ]
  }
 }
}

As you see, the rate is zero. Due to this fact currency conversion is totally broken in Financius. It would be great to have an ability to enter them manually...

Workaround that seems to work for rooted phones:

1. Install sqlite3 binary. Get one at XDA Developers for your CPU, then upload to phone
2. Run adb shell
3. Become superuser: su
4. Navigate to /data/data/com.code44.finance/databases
5. Open the database: sqlite3 finance.db
6. Insert what you need manually: INSERT INTO exchange_rates (exchange_rates_currency_code_from, exchange_rates_currency_code_to, exchange_rates_rate) VALUES ('BYR', 'EUR', 0.00004170334);

Hi Madhead!

Were you actually able to solve this issue?

For some currencies the app still doesn't work properly and doesn't do the money conversion (for example: GBP, NZD,..). so if I wanna set my new "account" in those currencies, the money exchange rate is always 1, even it's not true (for example 1 NZD would show as 1 CHF).

I don't see the option to set it manually.

Thanks for advises!

Workaround works only for rooted phones...
