Android Question Genymotion Emulator

[Sergey_New]

When using the app, an ini-file is created that stores the app's settings. What could have happened that the ini-file is now empty after closing and reopening the emulator? I've tried it on different emulators, but this hasn't happened before.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Genymotion and the emulators. Nothing changed.

I am comfortable with LDPlayer64. It is free

Thanks! But this is just an emulator; the program still needs debugging.

Did you save the .ini file in File.DirInternal (it's the same even if you use xui.DefaultFolder)?

The following setting affects app installation and uninstallation, but you can try it anyway.
In the manifest file:

SetApplicationAttribute(android:allowBackup, "true")

Make sure the value is true.

Reading the saved file:

mapSettings = File.ReadMap(File.DirInternal, ProgName & ".ini")

SetApplicationAttribute(android:allowBackup, "true")

Unfortunately, it didn't help.

Try disabling emulator quick-boot. In Android Studio emulator:

emulator -avd <Your_AVD_Name> -no-snapshot

I'm trying to change the application settings storage method and use KVS instead of Map.

Dim kvs As KeyValueStore
kvs.Initialize(xui.DefaultFolder,"kvs.data")
kvs.Put("data1","x1")
kvs.Put("data2","x2")

How can I now retrieve stored data from DefaultFolder?
With Map, it was easy:

mapSettings = File.ReadMap(File.DirInternal, ProgName & ".ini")

 

[LucaMs]

Dim strVariable as String

strVariable = kvs.Get("data1")

'or

strVariable = kvs.GetDefault("data1", "your default text")

 

[Sergey_New]

LucaMs, thanks! How can I create a loop to get all the data?

For Each Key As String In kvs
    Log(kvs.Get(Key))
Next

I'm probably doing something wrong. I'm getting the error java.lang.RuntimeException: Class instance was not initialized (keyvaluestore)

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)
    Service.StopAutomaticForeground
    If File.Exists(xui.DefaultFolder, "kvs.data")=False Then
        Dim kvs As KeyValueStore
        kvs.Initialize(xui.DefaultFolder,"kvs.data")
        kvs.Put("data1","x1")
        kvs.Put("data2","x2")
    Else
        readKVS
    End If
End Sub

Sub readKVS
    Dim strVariable As String
    strVariable = kvs.Get("data1")
    Log(strVariable)
End Sub

You should make kvs a global variable, otherwise it will not be recognised in readKVS.

 

[Sergey_New]

You should make kvs a global variable

I made it, it doesn't work. Please see my example.

 

[jkhazraji]

-Use try..catch to pinpoint the exact error.
-If the conditional statement branches to ReadKVS, kvs should be initialized there also or
-Make it global as you've been advised and initialize it in Activity_Create
