Android MMEX v2023.12.01.1002 release

[Bingbong26]

I had an issue where we both submitted transactions without syncing. Then I synced her transaction, then on my phone synced my transaction, and then closed the app on both phones and reopened the app to trigger it to pull down the latest, and they both only showed the transactions that each phone submitted itself. So I reopened the database on her phone and then it pulled the transaction that I submitted and the one she submitted was lost.

After this I was going to try to recreate it and test it some more, but I couldn't get her phone to open that database. I opened the app and it asks to create an account because it's got the local database open and not nextclouds. So I went to open, other, then selected the database as before through the nextcloud option in the file explorer, and it did nothing, just returning me to the same screen showing the local database open and requesting I make an account. This happened a couple of days ago as well then it just started working. So I cleared the storage of the app and deleted the local database. Reopened the app as a fresh install basically, and still could not get it to open the nextcloud database. My phone still access's it fine.

So maybe nextcloud just will not work with this app perhaps? At least not reliably anyway.

Edit: I just cleared storage on my phone for the mmex app and now I also cannot open the nextcloud database file. Upon selecting it, the app spits me back to the main screen asking me to open an existing dB or create a new one.

The proper expectation is to apply the changes in sequence, then pull from/push to cloud storage in-time. Hard to guarantee the acid in cloud storage. Hence, one transaction missing here is expected .

You are the second guy to report the malformed issue. Might be due to some wal log. Will take a deeper look.

Hello, I am using a translator so it may be difficult to understand, thank you very much for the contribution, I needed it.

I use mega for synchronization and when it comes to synchronizing it works perfectly, the problem is that when you open a database of data, it does not open the original database, but rather creates a copy in another path, so, when you make a modification in ammex, the file you are synchronizing is not modified, but rather the copy created by ammex is modified.



red: copy created by ammex

green: original file

If I read this post, then it should be possible to do without the DB copy and open the original DB multiple times without this causing conflicts.

Whether this also solves the cloud problems (synchronization), I doubt it.

I prefer this solution: viewtopic.php?p=24414#p24414
If you don't want to leave the PC switched on at home, then you can possibly use the (not so secure) NAS function of the router.

Indeed, that's why Syncthing I mentioned earlier was a good alternative because it syncs your basic folder inside the android file manager. No external Cloud Storage to mount. I see you asked me in this thread viewtopic.php?p=24497 to share some configuration, but really it is quite basic, sure it has a little learning curve compared to other cloud solutions.

When I have time I will post my use case in that thread.

@Renato yes, my first post had a link to Syncthing so that's why it has been removed, I suppose.

Syncthing works for me good too.

just rolled out ... enabling auto-sync of the last opened database on app open if there is no conflict. ... @KenK , appreciated if you can have a try.

I tried V2023.12.12.1005. Still crashes when I select a tx, or try to add a new one. I would not mind sharing my obscured .mmb file with a developer, but not with the world! @guanlisheng how can I get it to you?

[TobiD]

"...not mind sharing my obscured .mmb file with a developer, but not with the world!..."
Understandable.

Thanks to both of you.

That manually sync at the end/on change and opening in the beginning procedure is the most annoying thing so far.

Have a good day everyone.

I am using syncthing, but it works not really stable. Sometimes It causes conflict file, as old problem when editing mmex data file among devices.
