Cannot import or export to/from csv #27

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install secrets
2. Enter one secret
3. Select "Export" on menu.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Result is "Uh oh. Unable to export your secrets."  No further explanation.

Similarly, if I store a secrets.csv file in the root directory of my memory
card and then try to import, I get the message "No CSV file found on the SD
card."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Android.  Version 1.4.1 of Secrets.

Please provide any additional information below.

Hi thabangh,

I should report a better error message.  I have seen this problem when no SD 
card is 
inserted, or when the SD card is not mounted correctly.

Are you able to read the SD card from other applications?  For example, if you 
have 
music on the card, can you play that music?

Are you able to backup and/or restore your secrets?  That reads and writes to 
the SD 
card as well.

Is it possible that that the SD card is full?

I'm sorry to seem dumb, but is there any other memory (e.g., onboard) besides 
the SD 
card?  The phone came with an SD card (which I can see when I open the little 
slot 
on the side).  I've never taken the thing out.  I can see pictures, play music, 
and 
when I plug the phone into the computer, I can see all of the files there as 
drive 
D.  I put a file in place as D://secrets.csv, but the Secrets application can't 
import it.

The card is not full.  The "DiskUsage" application shows 267 MB used, and it's 
a 1GB 
card.

I tried doing an export, and Secrets seems to have created a 1kb file 
called "secrets" (no extension). There was no error message.  When I tried to 
do a 
restore, however, I get a message that says, "Uh oh. Unable to restore your 
secrets.  Make sure your password ..."

Hi thabangh,

The phone has internal memory on top of the sdcard memory.

There are two separate functions:  1) backup + restore, and 2) import + export.

The first pair is used to make a backup of your secrets to the sdcard.  This is 
done using a 
file called 'secrets' in the root directory of the sdcard.  You can also 
restore from this 
file.  The format of this file is proprietary to secrets.

The second pair is used mainly to transfer secrets/passwords from another 
password manager 
application into secrets, or transfer secrets/passwords from secrets to another 
password 
manager application.  Secrets will import or export from/to a filed called 
'secrets.csv' in 
the root directory of the sdcard.  This file must be in a specific format, see 
the project 
home page for more details.

For future reference, the problem was that the serial cable was still 
connecting the 
phone to the computer.  Apparently, you don't get read/write access until the 
drive 
is unmounted.
