Add import from ClickLite TopSecret (Palm app)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is a fairly popular (I think) Palm app which I use to store passwords
etc and it would be great to be able to import that data into Android.

I like the backup and export capability of this program. Been looking for
something like this. Open Intents isn't as complete as a standalone
secret-storing app as this seems to be.

Thanks

Bruce

Sorry didn't mean to make this a defect. It should be a feature request...

Can you provide a sample data file that can be used to implement the import?

Hi there,

I too just purchased a Motorola Droid and use to use Top Secret on my Palm Treo 
755P.
 I love this app and was wondering if it can be used or adapted on the Droid.

Thanks, Marty

Yes I can create an export file from TopSecret. I would want to create "dummy" 
data
rather than my real data of course. So the question would be: what sort of data 
to
include? I can take a crack at it and just include some typical things which I 
store
now. If you want some specific data please let me know and I'll do that too.
Thanks
Bruce

Here is sample data. I made some sample records and then exported them to csv. 
The
TopSecret categories are "Web Logins", "Credit Cards", and "PINs locks #s". 
Some have
text comments and some don't. It looks like a pretty simple format. The 
TopSecret
username or password are not exported - only the data records (you'd hope that 
would
be the case).

File attached.

Thanks Bruce.  The csv file seems pretty free form though, not sure exactly how 
to
parse it for structured data.  Each "secret" seems to have 3 parts:

- a name/description
- a textual note
- a category

The "password" or PIN seems buried inside the note, with no standard way to 
identify
it and pull it out.

Yeah, it's a little odd. Just the three fields with no designated place for an
account or password. So unless I have been consistent in my entries it would be
really difficult to parse out that data.

I may be stuck with some manual copy and paste into an import file for Secrets.

I'm curious about the state of the market for such programs on Android. Secrets 
seems
like a reasonable solution but it only has a few hundred downloads. What else 
are
people using? I sure don't want such data to synch to the Google cloud along 
with
contacts. I prefer the Palm approach - automatic synch to desktops(s) and 
nowhere
else. I guess this remark should really go on the wiki...
