Hi

My old phone (Archos Helium 40) ran with Android 5.1 Droidscript installed very well. I can make SPK's and store them on my google drive.

Recently I bought a newer phone, a Motorola Moto G running with Android 6. I installed Droidscript and all is fine. But noe I want my (2) Droidscritp projects transfered from the old Archos to the new Moto G.

So I copied them from the Google drive to the phone but I cannot get them into the Droidscript environment. I put them in the DroidScript folder but DS doesn't see them.

What is the easiest way to transfer SPK files from one syste to another?

Touch the file in MyFiles like you do when you want to open a file and choose DroidScript. Then it will be installed automatically

If I touch it, the next screen is the DS IDE with all the scripts I made on this device but the new (DroidScript-drop) is not imported. I tried just about anything (moving to several folders, etc) on Android 5 and 6. Cannot move SPK's along.

I'm not even sure this is an spk file since android seems to strip file extensions like Good Old Windows also does.

Hmm.It turns out to be the file has no extension. Is this an spk file then? It is a zipped archive. I see no means to create an SPK file though...

OK, solved it. I add the ".spk" extension, touch it, DS opens and asks for permission, I grant permission, DS imports the file and it runs...

I guess there must be a better way though.

why a better way? You export it and import xD that what i mean it: it dont need to be changed because it works :)

and note: A SPK is a simple ZIP file with just a other ending

and if you export it with a other app (like Automate) that support file export etc then you just need to check the file name (if the name Right? are a SPK at the end? etc)
