Feature request: Ability to import/export AutoText entries

Post by imekul »

I would love the ability to import/export AutoText entries to something like a CVS or text format. That would make it really easy to manage on the computer, and would also serve as an easy AutoText backup solution.

Do you think this might be doable?

Thanks for a great keyboard! I love the AutoText.

Hi
yes it's possible, it's in the TODO list (can't tell when, however)

Thanks for the info, Cyril!

Are you aware of any way to back up and restore the AutoText entries currently? Sometimes I wipe my phone to reinstall a different ROM or whatnot, and I'd love to find a way to save the data. If there is some database file stored on the phone somewhere, I probably could hunt it down and back it up before wiping my device.

Thanks again! :)

Yes you can already do it with adb

Just save and restore this file: /data/data/net.cdeguet.smartkeyboardpro/databases/autotext.db
The user dictionary is in the same folder, by the way
