Yafuhenk Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 6, 2012 #1 Hi I wrote a database application which imports data from a csv file. At the moment I copy the csv file to the android device and then import it. For security reasons I don´t want the csv file on my android device Is there a possibility to read the csv file directly from my laptop? I like to do this via wifi but I don’t know the keywords to look for related to this topic. Can someone give me some hints how to proceed? Thanks a lot in advance Henk

As soon as the app is closed the cache should be wiped right? Erel would know more about that. Upvote 0
