Share problem
Closed this issue · 19 comments
Although I have used 'share' successfully a few times, I've just got back from an 18 day trip to Costa Rica and now have hundreds of detections but share is no longer working.
Could this be because I have exceeded some kind of data size limit?
Now when I press share, the app either 'blanks' or minimises for a while, or i get the message: "whoBird keeps stopping"
I have no idea if there is a size limit for sharing. All detections are packed into one string and are shared.
For such long trips I would suggest to share detections every day to a file manager and store as text file and then maybe clear.
In case you have a rooted device you can access the sqlite database.
I will maybe add an option to backup/restore the database in future.
If you know how to get a logcat that might also help
OK running adb on Linux to device (LineageOS) in debug ...but I'm very Jet-lagged at the moment!
Don't know how I should filter logcat so for: adb logcat -v brief
my output includes:-

Does this help?
let it crash again, note time
then
adb logcat -D > log.txt
remove stuff before time from log.txt
Here you go:-

There seems to be a limit of 1MB for sharing.
"The reason is the Inner Process Communication (IPC) bus has a 1mb limit"

Many thanks woheller69, that's answered my question.
I need to get some sleep now, so will worry about how to get my hands on the sqlite database tomorrow.
on root you find it in
data/data/org.woheller69.whobird/databases/BirdDatabase.db
Don't want to root the phone.
I was hoping to use adb to get a copy of the database.
Is your app debuggable? ADB says its not when I run: run-as org.woheller69.whobird
...but I may be missing something.
no, it is not debuggable, and as far as I know a release version should never be...
...not sure its really a problem with open-source code, but that's your choice.
Of course Google cannot prevent me from doing it, but for security reasons it is not a good idea.
Even without direct access to ADB, malware installed on the device could potentially exploit debuggable apps for various purposes, such as data exfiltration, privilege escalation, or performing other malicious activities.
So I think I will add a backup option for the database in future.
I didn't mean to imply that Google was the problem, I mean the source code is available and its data is just about birds ...so not a great hackers target.
So unless you can do me a private debuggable version, don't worry, its not that important.
Thanks once again for a great app and your help with this.
whoBird's simplicity is one of its srengths.
I cannot make a private debuggable version because the app is signed by F-Droid. You would have to uninstall and would lose the data. But I just implemented the backup of the database (copy/paste from one of my other apps). So once this is released you will get access.
probably V2.9
You are a star!
Many thanks for v2.9, it works great!
Is there anyway I can now clear the "Share" button; i.e. the 1.5M of data, or should I now uninstall then reinstall?
Just press the trash bin icon at the right
Doh!
