How to update Android app with buildozer AND save SQLite Data

[glimmerglen]

Hello All, I've built an app that creates a SQLite database on android and allows the user to add and save data. The first time I loaded it on my phone using buildozer, it worked just fine. However, each time I do an update and then push it to my phone, the new APK file wipes out all the existing data. Is there a way to preserve the data and do the update?  Thanks!

I've pip installed python-for-android and its dependencies, but when I try to import app_storage_path, I get this error:

>>> from android.storage import app_storage_path

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'android.storage'

Do you know what's going on?
