Just installed KeePass on my Samsung Galaxy Note II.  When i opened it up for the first time, it asked me what the database filename and its address should and so i chose what it automatically provided.  After opening the address, it asked me to create a password to unlock the database.  I entered a password and it told me "Database format not recognized".  I'm not very savvy with this program and have mediocre computer skills.  How can i fix this problem?

I figured it out.  I saved my KeePass database to a file on my PC and then copied the file to the external SD card and not the internal card on my droid.  I opened it up with the password and it worked.  Maybe KeePass doesn't like the internal SD card format.

Another work around is to install OI File Manager, then go through opening Keepass and select the .kdbx file you want to use as your db.  Solution thanks to Simon:

Solved.

After installing another file manager app, OI File Manager in this case, I could choose files using either Google Drive, or OI File Manager.  It appears that the Google Drive file selection API is not compatible, as I could select the kdbx file using OI File manager - under /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.docs/files/ and the "File not found error" disappeared.

I have been using KeePassDroid for a while.  After an upgrade to an LG Nexus 4 I find that I cannot open my kbdx files from Google Drive.  I know it can do it, I did it on my SGS2 ok.  

  • Start KeePassDroid (1.99.7.2)
  • Press open folder button, near top right of screen, Google's MyDrive selection list appears
  • Choose kbdx file from list presented , and press 'Selection' button at bottom right of popup.  Popup disappears.  Path and filename are entered in database filename field.
  • Press Open button
Error "File no found".
