Support Writing to .kdbx databases

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When I run keepassdroid it successfully reads the keepass db but is readonly.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I previosly had keepass installed via the appBrain. This said version 75 was 
installed. I uninstalled this.
I have since installed 1.8.6.4. My phone still says 'version 75' is installed.

Please provide any additional information below.
I have a motorolla Defy with android 2.1

The database is created by KeePass 2.13 on windows XP

ahh - sussed it.

It is because I have a version 2 kdbx DB.
I tried saving it as a version 1 KDB Db and that is read/write, 
so I wait expectantly for a v2 read/write version

I use the KeePass Implementation on iOS 5.1 to and I create a v2 db (kdbx) 
file. I'll use the same db file on 3 different platforms.

+1 to be able to write to keepass 2x files from keepassandroid

What is the progress on this enhancement? Why is it so difficult to add write 
support?

This should have a much higher priority in my opinion.

BUMP! v2 Write is greatly needed. Thanks for your efforts & the app!

How can this not be high priority. I'd happily pay/donate to get this 
functionality.

+1 on high priority for write functionality for kdbx files.

I am considering implementing KeePass on my computers (PCs & Macs) to explore 
options for myself and clients to aid in following best practices for unique 
and complex passwords for multiple sites. And read/write access to the DB is 
essential. People want to be able to change passwords on whatever device they 
are using.

Consider all the times in a day when one site or another needs a reset and if 
the transaction must be done on the windows or mac box instead of the tablet in 
their hands it becomes more complex and defeats the major advantage of a tool 
like KeePass if they choose to go back to the old way instead. Read / write 
access to a securely stored DB is the only way. Using Amazon S3 or the user's 
own dropbox - whatever, just r/w and shared.

My clients are very small business owners, good at what they do but not 
necessarily tech savvy;their sole source of IT support is me or another small 
consulting outfit. Things that just work without a lot of special cases are the 
best way to get them to adopt the best practice. 

Please help us out a little here and make this easy to use and safe. 

Thanks, 
Rob

Rob: If this issue is financially relevant to you, you should consider paying a 
developer to patch it then, not trying to persuade others to help you make 
money for free.

"How can this not be high priority. I'd happily pay/donate to get this

So do I.

This one and the search field in main screen. But write in kbdx databeses is 
worth to donate.

Btw, thanks for Keepass Droid. It's worth to donate for it anyway.

Would also like to say i enjoy this app very much and would also like a 
writeable keepass 2 implementation!

Can someone outline why this is a difficult feature to have and the rough 
outline of what needs to happen to get it fixed?  That would help someone else 
wanting to pick up the implementation.

I'd kill to have support for Kdbx (keepass 2) support.  I really don't 
understand why this is taking so long.  Considering the iPhone version is 
completely fully functional.  Hopefully someone starts up a new keepass project 
or at least attempts to update this one.

Original comment by c.dida...@gmail.com on 5 Nov 2012 at 9:10

I agree, without write support, it's just half the product. And I don't want to 
switch back to v1 kdb. No way.
If someone from the developer base could please give an estimate, raise the 
priority and get back to the community about this. I'd be also willing to 
donate for this feature.

If you check github you can see that there's a branch called save_kbdx. My 
guess? Someone's (bpellin) actually started working on this. Not yet merged 
into master branch as far as I could see, but some work has been done to the 
code there.

Might be worth noting that anyone can grab the code and start working on it as 
well, it doesnt HAVE to be the original author.

Would buy paid app, but only with keepass 2 (write) support. Interoperability 
should have top priority.

Original comment by bwak...@gmail.com on 14 Nov 2012 at 9:56

I'd pay for this functionality

Original comment by purf...@gmail.com on 22 Nov 2012 at 8:54

I agree, it would be great to be able to either edit a kdbx file on the Android 
app, or edit a kdb file on the desktop app. I'd pay too. <3

Hello, to all, and specially the DEV of this usefull port... :)
Well, i would like, too, having the support of modifying the KDBX database, but 
remember this is a freeware ! The DEV can't pay his food with this 'JOB' !

But... I often need to change password on the go, so i need the modify option...

So, i've made an export of KDBX datase into KDB database, and now, i'm using V1 
format onto my desktop and android device...

This is SOOO simple ! ;)

Thanks for porting this jewel onto Android ! (even in V1 format ;) )

It is possible to edit *.kdb files using the desktop application: you need to 
use the latest 1.x series of KeePass programs. These are still being actively 
developed; you're not using an old out-of-date version of KeePass, just a 
version that has a small number of different features.

Write support for 2.x would be a great, and VERY useful, addition!
