M mscientist33 Active Member Licensed User Nov 15, 2022 #1 I have one app that is using a KeyValueStore. I have a second app that needs to access and modify a value in that store. Is it possible for one app to have access to another apps KeyValueStore (they will not ever be running at the same time). I have tried to set the xui.SetDataFolder to the same folder and initialize the kvs with the same folderand dat file name but I am not having any luck. Is this possible?

But he was asking about two apps accessing the same Database on the device. Upvote 0

I was just throwing a wild suggestion out there, in case @mscientist33 had missed that alternative. We wouldn't want anyone to trash their awesome idea just because they didn't think of a way to have two apps communicate. Upvote 0

M mscientist33 Active Member Licensed User Nov 16, 2022 #7 Yes, unfortunately both apps are on the same device AND the device will not have internet service. I guess I will not use a keyvaluestore and just use a text file. I was hoping by putting the kvs .dat file in a location such as "Documents" that I would be able to access it from either app. Upvote 0

Click to expand... Thats why I really thought it would work. It would be great if it did for cross app settings and data. We can add that to a wish I guess. Upvote 0
