How do I set the database name on my Android device?

[Ken L]

The online documentation says, "For the initial sync, make sure you start from an empty database which has the same name as the server database."

I can find NO menu item or any hidden feature that would allow me to set any kind of database name. I can sync (apparently useless without a common name), replay a sound, which my deck doesn't have, star or delete a card. But no place to actually set a database name. How do i do that to be able to sync my mobile device to my desktop?

My desktop, set as a server on my home WiFi network, runs Win10. Mnemosyne is running on it, with a valid deck. Syncing doesn't work.

PS, I hope this isn't a duplicate. I couldn't find the original post. I might not have joined the group yet.

Hi,

 

When you first start the Android client (i..e. from an empty /sdcard/Mnemosyne) and do the first sync, it will sync the database that is currently active on the server, and you cannot change it on the Android client. This is also why we recommend putting all your cards in a single database default.db.

 

The documentation you quote is misleading, so I want to fix it, but I can’t seem to find what exactly you are referring to…

 

Cheers,

 

Peter

It is on the Documentation/Syncing page, http://mnemosyne-proj.org/help/syncing

If, with all of my fumbling around trying to sync, I had had a different database on my server, how do I delete the mobile database? I haven't found a way to browse the file structure of my Droid Turbo.

Hi,

 

Just delete /sdcard/Mnemosyne and start over.

 

Cheers,

 

Peter
