Open tomdereub opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

Hi, I have a problem with handynotes (it's blank and I can't open it anymore), and before re-installing it I would like to know where the data are stored? I want to try to find the text that where in it if it's not already deleted... Thanks!

Hi @tomdereub sorry to hear the app went blank

HandyNotes uses the Android SQLite adapter https://github.com/atd/HandyNotes/blob/master/src/net/tapi/handynotes/NotesDbAdapter.java

There should be a sql file inside the app data folder (maybe you need to root your device to access that folder)

Hi, It's was quite complicated to search directly on the phone (even rooted), but finally I found it in a backup in this folder: Backup clockworkmod\2016-09-27.10.05.12\data\data\net.tapi.handynotes\databases\data The file is not easy to read as text, but I found what I was searching for.

Great! Were you able to keep your data after the reinstallation?

Actually I didn't reinstall, I just suppressed the non-working widget. It's quite strange, I had at the same time a blank non working widget on a desktop, and a working widget on a other desktop.
