Keep the settings when downgrading (= when uninstalling the app)

Open WiliTest opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Trying a new beta version is always costly because, when we encounter a bug, and have to downgrade to come back to the previous version that worked fine, we have to uninstall the app, we lose all our settings (like gestures, themes)

Describe the solution you'd like saving settings into the DB would solve this issue

Additional context Another user told me that sometimes, between some versions the settings are preserved after downgrading. I did not had this chance, I lost them every time I downgraded (my last try was to go from beta69 to 75 then 76 (*) then back to 69)

(The cut/copy past was not working when editing a card: it worked fines few time, but then not anymore after few minutes: clicking the button "cut" did not do anything. It still works in other apps).

Overall I agree. This is related to #9762, as it proposes saving the settings on the collection too.

As I'm already refactoring the settings code on my GSoC project, and this is actually part of the project "If I have time" section, I may do it on the end of August, or soon after GSoC, depending on my availability and the PR reviews pace.

As a workaround, try adb install -r -d /path/to/the-version-you-want-to-install.apk. If it doesn't work, maybe add -t, too. See https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb#-t-option
