Where does the Android app store its data on the phone?

[Aniello Mennella]

I would like to know where the subsurface android app stores its data on the phone. I have found a folder Android/data/org.subsurfacedivelog.mobile but under that folder I see only a list of empty folders. I have created a test dive to see if a database was created but nothing changed there.

Does anybody know how it works? Is the database accessible?

Thanks

Aniello

Asking this once is sufficient, no point in sending this as a support request and in the forum...

Unless your Android device is rooted, Android generally doesn't let you access the file storage of a different app.

The git repo that represents the local cache of cloud storage on an Android device is located at

QStandardPaths::AppDataLocation/cloudstorage/<repo/branch hash>

Depending on the version of Android you are using, this should translate into something like

/Android/data/org.subsurfacedivelog.mobile/files/cloudstorage

but as I said, normally you won't be able to access this as part of the sandboxing protections on Android.
