ETinyDB: Extra utilities for Tiny DB

[Kumaraswamy]

ETinyDB as ExtraTinyDB provides some additional utilities for the TinyDB component.
It offers the following features:

• Export Tiny DB
  This exports the data stored of a particular namespace or all namespace into the destination file.

  

  

Sample JSON:

[
  {
    "namespace": "TinyDB1",
    "length": 1,
    "preferences": {
      "count": "123"
    }
  }
]

• Get JSON Data
  Similarly you can also get JSON data directly returned.

  

  

• Used Namespaces
  Returns a list of all the used namespaces.

  

• Load JSON Data into Tiny DB
  You can also load the JSON data directly from a string or a file into application's Tiny DBs.

  

  

• Listening to data changes in Tiny DB
  Using this extension, you can get notified whenever a tag in the TinyDB changes to a new value.

  

  
  

• Wipe Data
  You can either clear a particular namespace or all the namespaces present in the application.

Thanks

This is great. This should be in the TinyDB component and not "just" as an extension.

[TIMAI2]

Looks really handy

Possible to add feature to just wipe a specific namespace ?

Done, added.

[TIMAI2]

Wonderful

[TIMAI2]

What path does one need to set the the destination?

(this done in companion, Android 13, I guessed at the ASD...)

Had a look at your gist, and see it needs a full path:

[Wes_Savage]

still nothing

[Peter]

You miss a leading slash in your filename text box.

[Wes_Savage]

still nothing

[TIMAI2]

Did you look in your ASD folder ?

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/<packageName>/files

[Wes_Savage]

I am using Android 13... I don't see " /storage/emulated/0/"

BTW: I am using the PC to more rapidly search the entire phone

[Kumaraswamy]

You wont see " /storage/emulated/0/" on your pc, it will be just named as Internal storage....

[Wes_Savage]

Thank you. I scanned the entire phone and cannot find the file

Frustrated after 12 hours just trying to save JSON to file

[Kumaraswamy]

@Wes_Savage

What is the "global Data" here? It needs to be a real valid namespace.
Also, dont do automatic searches, sometimes the file maybe missed....

[Wes_Savage]

Global Data is the namespace on TinyDB that I need

No automatic searches .. I search by hand but I search both Internal and SD at once

[Kumaraswamy]

@Wes_Savage

Global Data is the namespace on TinyDB that I need

That is a bad thing to hide the real name in a variable....
Also there arent any default namespaces called "TinyDB", it's probably "TinyDB1". Naming is sensitive.

Try these blocks, they will export the file and directly open a share dialog in the phone:

Make sure to carefully change your namespace accordingly... Naming sensitive

[Wes_Savage]

[Kumaraswamy]

That is not the namespace then, it wil never work that way...
In the designer section (not blocks area):

[Wes_Savage]

wait

ahhhhh! thats what namespace means

Confusing: I also have a TinyDB1 with namespace TinyDB1

[Wes_Savage]

Is the intent of your ETinyDB to save and restore the entire database ( namespace). I do not want to restore the entire thing... that would be disastrous!

I need to only restore the one variable "Global Data"
