Is this case where does the file get saved, I do not find it in my device

It should be in your ASD:

@Tejal_Bhagat

I do not find it in my device

you probably stored it in ASD...
what about providing a screenshot of your relevant blocks?
store it in shared storage instead

Some basics on Android storage system

From an Android point of view there are an → Internal Storage and an → External Storage . 1. Internal Storage The Internal Storage can only be accessed with a rooted device. 1.1 The app package is saved in /data/data/<packageName>/ In order to be able to debug your app, AI2 saves the assets for → Companion on devices with Android ≥ 10 (API ≥ 29): /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/edu.mit.appinventor.aicompanion3/files/assets/ Android < 10 : /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/edu.mit.a…

Here,

This is probably failing

see here:

Conflict between dictionary Values block and TinyDB GetEntries result

Can confirm. I had a similar issue with "Entries" not responding to dictionary blocks as expected. In the end I treated "Entries" as a string, and used text manipulation blocks to get at the string(list) I was after, and converted it back to an AI2 list.

I did not get your point

@Taifun

store it in shared storage instead

To do this set the file scope to Legacy and use the following filename

/Download/data.csv

This is the aia file I am working on
BlossomFlowers_copy.aia (8.7 KB)

[Tejal_Bhagat]

Is it possible to fix my issue in my aia and share it back?

[TIMAI2]

your file will be saved to the shared Download directory.

I am not, however, happy with the csv structure, you may have trouble rebuilding it.

[Tejal_Bhagat]

and how to get this data back to listpicker tinydb in a new phone?

[Tejal_Bhagat]

in the same app but new phone

@Tejal_Bhagat

how to get this data back to listpicker tinydb in a new phone?

Therefore it might be easier to use an extension, for example

ETinyDB: Extra utilities for Tiny DB

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.

I am confused now

[Tejal_Bhagat]

Is it possible to transfer the csv data to listpicker tinydb

[Taifun]

What I understand is, that you have a listpicker, which uses some data and the data is stored in TinyDB.

What you have to add to your project is a TinyDB export and import functionality. You could use the mentioned extension for this.

Your user then uses your app to export TinyDB on device 1 into a file. Then the file is transferred to device 2 manually. After that the user starts you app on device 2 and imports TinyDB from the file
