Android MMEX v2023.12.01.1002 release

android has no posix interface to "mount" these cloud storage as a folder

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?

"...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.

Syncthing here for me too - running on my Synology NAS; using SyncThing Fork on my Android to sync over there. SyncTrayzor for Windows makes going to/from a desktop environment much easier, too.

crashes when I select a tx, or try to add a new one

@guanlisheng, thank you for identifying the problem causing this (if anyone's interested, it was the date format).
Sadly, in less that an hour of playing with syncing test databases, I managed to get Onedrive to complain of two conflicts, and once in the app itself. No doubt they were induced by my carelessness, but they've put me off. I'd be certain to do it again (whatever "it" was).
Good luck with the app, I like it and I'll keep watching its development.

sorry to see your case, and the synchronization would work fine if you modified and performed synchronization in time on every device and platform.

Would you mind sharing your detailed operations in a time sequence?

One drive is MMEX’s most popular cloud storage based on votes so far.

If you're using the latest version, because so far I haven't had any problems syncing with Google Drive, now I'm going to do the same procedure with Mega which is my favorite for me because I can sync directly with my files

Sorry, I didn't keep track of the sequence. I'm sure it would work fine, if I was careful; but I think that would be my problem.

THANK YOU Lisheng.

I have long been hoping for good news about a non-obsolete Android version with 3-way synchronization (PC-smartphone-cloud).
Cautiously (I don't have much experience) I will try to install it on my Samsung S9 phone and do some testing to give, if I can, a contribution.

Anyway, it is a GREAT start.

THANK YOU again for creating the app and good work.

[guangong]

today, it is pretty close to what you think

Hi, the diagram you propose is not completely clear to me, could you explain in more detail ?
which are the parts already working and those in development ? Which arrows do the numbers 1. 2. 3. on the right of the diagram refer to ? what does Amplitude have to do with it ? GA4 ? DO/vps ?
this is then an internal architecture ?
wouldn't it be possible to have:
- an end user side architecture to date
- a "target" end user side architecture ?
as well as related sequences of operations and cautions to be observed ((e.g. when to manually synchronize) ?

More in general, what is the difference between local mmb and remote mmb ? when I open the local file an area of working "not accessible" is allocated that I have to synchronize manually ( bidirectional green arrow ) ? what does the bidirectional green arrow Syncthing represent then ?
NB:
With the latest installed version of MMEX mobile Android and with Dropbox it seems to me that manual synchronization works, although several cautions have to be taken to avoid anomalous or irregular behavior.
Looking at this diagram however I had a doubt and before I send the detail of my experiments I ask you if I have not made a mistake upstream, in the sense that I have allocated my database on Dropbox and access it alternately from Windows or Android in an attempt to use the synchronization of the cloud platform: it seems to me now that the proposed architecture is completely different what do you say ?

[guangong]

in terms of 'database'. we can focus on the bottom of the arch, and it is self-explanatory when you get familiar with MMEX4Desktop and MMEX4Android
