Importing CSV does not work in Android 13

I cannot import CSV files in android 13.

At first importing didn't work for me, too, on Android 13. But I found a way that's worth a try at least: You need a CSV export from the old device. After each failed import attempr, you have to reset the app on android 13 by deleting its data from the Android app info screen. Then try both of the app's menu items containing "CSV", they're both named identically and I can't remember which one worked. The first one crashes the app? Delete its data again and try the second one. Vice versa if you start bottom first. I have it running that way. Good luck!

The PR #82 from Asrosoft solves the problem. IMHO it should be merged.

I have rebuilt an apk from this PR (or directly from the Asrosoft repo, it's currently the same) and it works like a charm on my android 10.

If I understand well, the app in its store version (2.2.1) does not manage correctly the android external storage framework. It is then allowed to read and write files the first time you use the app (don't know why), but will receive a permission denial to access them after a device restart (I explain that with my own words and am not an android dev, sorry for purists :) )

Thanks to Asrosoft ; )

Hey maybe you can help me. I would REALLY like to be able to export my lists from my old phone to my new phone, but as you know ... I can't as I'm on Android 12. Every time I try to export to csv it just quits out.

Fdroid is telling me I have to uninstall 2.2.0 before i install 2.2.1. Which will delete all of my lists, right?

Is there a way to back up the files and just drop them into the correct new directory on the 2.2.1 install?

Any help would be great! I'm trying to move to Android 14. I will move away from OI shopping list and to something still in development. Which is a shame as I've been using OI shopping list for YEARS.

@bluesdataventure I've just rewritten my tip (see post 2 above) which is in the essential part (only the first import works, but it did work) affirmed by Japatup's post you've quoted. You can still try my method, it should be quicker and easier, in case the Android devs didn't close that loophole in the meantime.

Ah, sorry, you can't even export. Damn.
Which app in development were you talking about, BTW?

That's correct, unfortunately.
