Re: [mnemosyne-proj-users] How to completely remove Android App?

Try looking for a directory /sdcard/Mnemosyne or something like that.

Re: [mnemosyne-proj-users] How to completely remove Android App?

I Looked for "sdcard", but unfortunately nothing. I remember that I could 
access Mnemosyne data in the past on my phone, but I a got a new phone 
which may be the problem...

Re: [mnemosyne-proj-users] How to completely remove Android App?

[Niclas Rieger]

Is there a possibility to incorporate a feature into the app that enables 
users to remove any existing local database? like having a handy "reset" 
button for the app. Alternatively, would it be possible to ensure that the 
app performs a thorough cleanup when it's uninstalled? 

In the meantime, I'll explore whether there's a way to access the internal 
data on my phone. It appears that this newer Android model I have only 
allows access to standard data files such as images, downloads, and 
documents.

Re: [mnemosyne-proj-users] How to completely remove Android App?

[Peter Bienstman]

That's strange, because normally in the later Android versions all data is
removed upon uninstall.

Possible workaround: export data from the Android app, modify the zip file
to include an empty database, and reimport.

 But neither through my phone, nor by connecting through USB cable/Ubuntu  I

 in a terminal yields just two entries*,*

 ./Phone/Android/data/org.mnemosyne
 ./Card/Android/data/org.mnemosyne

 which are both empty. Any idea where I can find this infamous database?
 Thank you

Re: [mnemosyne-proj-users] How to completely remove Android App?

[Niclas Rieger]

good idea! I just tried that with the database I have on my Desktop version 
and with export - import I could make the App "mimick" the same state as 
the Desktop version, i.e. both Desktop and App have the same number of 
scheduled, not memorized and active cards. Syncing still fails, however, 
with the same error as before. 

How can I create an empty database?  At first I thought it would be in File 
> New... but here I'm asked to provide a new database which then seems to 
be loaded.

Re: [mnemosyne-proj-users] How to completely remove Android App?

[Peter Bienstman]

Create an empty database using the desktop app, and use that instead.

Also edit a file like machine id or something, and change the contents to
something else.

Re: [mnemosyne-proj-users] How to completely remove Android App?

[Niclas Rieger]

Sorry it's not clear to me how to create an empty database. I see File > 
New... but that option want to open a file...it does not create a new 
(empty) one. Sorry if the solution is obvious :/

Re: [mnemosyne-proj-users] How to completely remove Android App?

[Peter Bienstman]

Can't you provide a filename for that new database in that dialog? Just
call it tmp.db, then open your own database again. Then, put tmp.db renamed
as default.db in the export.

 That's strange, because normally in the later Android versions all data
 is removed upon uninstall.

 Possible workaround: export data from the Android app, modify the zip
 file to include an empty database, and reimport.

 Hi Peter et al.
 Just got a fresh install of 2.10.1 - thank you! I wanted to sync my
 Android App but got the error message:


 *Error: mismatched user ids. The first sync should happen on an
 empty database. Backup then delete the local database and try again. *

 Removing and reinstalling from the PlayStore, however, does not to
 remove the local database, it seems since I already have scheduled 
 cards
 when I first open it & the error persists.

 Now, I want to delete the local database files on my phone
 manually. But neither through my phone, nor by connecting through USB
 cable/Ubuntu  I am able to track down the mnemosyne files. In Ubuntu,
 changing to the root directory where my phone is mounted and then 
 entering
 this directory, I see two directories (1) Phone and (2) Card. Running

 *find . -type d -name "*mnemosyne*" -print*

 in a terminal yields just two entries*,*

 ./Phone/Android/data/org.mnemosyne
 ./Card/Android/data/org.mnemosyne

 which are both empty. Any idea where I can find this infamous
 database?
 Thank you
 Niclas

 good idea! I just tried that with the database I have on my Desktop 
 version and with export - import I could make the App "mimick" the same 
 state as the Desktop version, i.e. both Desktop and App have the same 
 number of scheduled, not memorized and active cards. Syncing still fails, 
 however, with the same error as before. 

 How can I create an empty database?  At first I thought it would be in 
 File > New... but here I'm asked to provide a new database which then 
 seems 
 to be loaded.
