Any chance to update WhenLast?

[Jedi]

Recently I switch to a Sony mobile phone running Android 14 and find out that WhenLast won't work on it. (It keeps crashed.)
Now I have to keep my old phone on my desk just for using WhenLast.

Is there any chance that WhenLast will get an update to newer versions of Android system?

i'll give it a try.

I've finally got WhenLast rebuilt for new android googleplay requirements.. now i just have to test the beta on the play store before i can make it official.  thank you for your patience!

I've tried to push out an update -- let me know if it works for you.

Well, I just got an automatic update, so that part worked

There are some problem in v2.26 I encountered:

1. Crash: Preferences -> Advanced Settings -> Item Date format
2. Failed to get permission: android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Import data from file
3. Failed to get permission: android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Export data to file
4. Import data from file (from other/older/working devices) won't work even using internal storage. The file doesn't show up in the selection screen. Only files exported from the same device show up.
5. Import data from url doesn't work. There is no detail message. It downloads file but imports no entry.
6. Multi-Device Synchronization (Public folder and own sync tool) doesn't work. It keep saying everything is in sync but it's not.

Thank you for the report I will check; the first 3 sound like they should be easy to fix.
Multi-device sync stopped working when dropbox api stopped working.. That's probably not something easily fixed.

No no, I'm not using dropbox to sync. I'm using own sync tool option (DriveSync with Google Drive account in this case).
I suspect that it's JSON parse error problem. I can provide my cbsyncdata file if that help.
Otherwise it may be the read permission issue?

My current workaround:
0. drop sync (at least for now) since I'm migrating to a new device.
1. Export entries from OLD device (let's name it OLD.json), transfer it to new device.
2. Export default entries from NEW device (let's name it NEW.json).
3. Using text editor (I'm using QuickEdit in this case, for its ability to handle text encoding) to do following:
3-1. Open OLD.json
3-2. Select all content.
3-3. Copy (into system clipboard)
3-4. Open NEW.json
3-5. Select all content.
3-6. Paste (from system clipboard) to replace all content.
3-7. Save NEW.json
4. Import NEW.json. Since the file permission is kept, there is no permission issue reading its content.
5. That's it. Done.

So it seems more like a permission issue.
