Accessing the save string of other games
Monkey Targets Forums/Android/Accessing the save string of other games

| I have seen that some games can import or otherwise read the save string of another game, for example going from the free lite version of a game to the full game version, even though it's a separate install the newly installed full version knows the progress I have made in the free lite version. Any one know how they do that? |

| Ya anyone know. I also need to do this but don't know how |

| Did you tried to find a directory in Android File structure in some place else then games directory ? Maybe it's not a file, it can be a database file? It would explain why we can only put 1 string... Personnally if i had to search such a file i would make an IO to update SaveString data than i would search a file with this date. Hope it will help your search. |

| I don't know anything about Android really, but I seem to recall reading something about apps being able to share data if they are signed with the same password (in Android documentation about signing). Maybe that's the issue? |

| I just read that 2 android app dont have direct abality to interect or pasing its data Each app run on its own sandbox. We need to use what they call content provider. Android app read phone data like contact ect using this content provider. We need to create our own content provider to pass data to our second app. Unfurtunally I don't expert java. Could someone pls tell me if there a java lib created earlier for content provider. Or could someone pls create one for us |
