TinyDB - Is it possible?

[Wes_Savage]

I have data trapped in my app that I would like to transport to a newer version of my app. I am thinking to trap the data in a text file and then copy it to the new app. Could this work?

The data is 150+ strings having 8 comma delimited items each

Hi, do you have all of your TinyDB data stored in only one namespace?

[Wes_Savage]

Yes. all in a single variable.

I have other TinyDB vars stored but they are not important

[Kumaraswamy]

@Wes_Savage

Yes. all in a single variable.

No I mean do you have all of your Tiny DB data just in one namespace?

[Wes_Savage]

Sorry but I am not certain I understand. I put all of it in one DB with var name Data. My app has 7 screens and the data is recorded in one screen but read in two other screens. One screen is the stats table I showed here and the other is a graph screen.

I can easily write all of the needed data into a textbox

Check here, what are namespaces: How do I use TinyDB (feat. namespace)? - #2 by ABG

You can check your project for the component TinyDB and in the designer properties section, you can look for namespace.

[Wes_Savage]

One namespace

Your data is stored by TinyDB, in an installed app?
If your phone is rooted, you can get your data here:
/data/data/{your.app.package.name}/shared_prefs/{your.TinyDB.namespace}.xml

otherwise, you can use OCR on the screenshot of the Stats.

[Wes_Savage]

Nice answer. I will look. Thanks
Hmm I don't see a data folder. I do have show hidden files turned on
Ahhh my phone is not rooted

[ABG]

How do I save TinyDB data across a factory reset?

You may find this project useful ...

Your data in TinyDB still will be there after installing an update of your app

ETinyDB: Extra utilities for Tiny DB

ETinyDB as ExtraTinyDB provides some additional utilities for the TinyDB component. It offers the following features: Export Tiny DB This exports the data stored in a particular namespace or all namespace into the destination file. [ExportTinyDB] [ExportAll] Sample JSON: [ { "namespace": "TinyDB1", "length": 2, "preferences": { "count": "123" } } ] Get JSON Data Similarly you can also get JSON data directly returned. [GetJSON] [GetAllJSON] Used…

[Wes_Savage]

So I should be able to install Etiny into my existing app and grab the string data, then store it in a file and in the receiving app retrieve it?

[Wes_Savage]

Yes. Thank you @Taifun . I am needing to port my data from one app to another as well as one fone to another. I think @Kumaraswamy has my answer

[Kevinkun]

@Wes_Savage

I think @Kumaraswamy has my answer

Is it possible to export TinyDB data from an another existing app? I don't think so.

[Wes_Savage]

Kumaraswamy has EtinyDB and it can save the data to a file and retrieve it. That should work yes?

It's only text. Seems to me it should be portable

@Kevinkun

Is it possible to export TinyDB data from an another existing app? I don't think so.

Hi Kevin, using ETinyDB, you can export all of the application's tiny DB data into a JSON file and also load it back to the app using JSON or file input.

[Kevinkun]

I mean from other app, not the app this extension is inside of.
Is this possible?

[Wes_Savage]

What if it's not JSON and only text/strings? Will it still export and import?

[Kumaraswamy]

I dont get you, can you elaborate more?
