Aegis: Importing from Google Authenticator

[Txatxiquesi]

Hello, i have a error when i try to import data from my google authenticator, root permisions & file access already granted, the error is:
"_A error acurred while trying to parse the file: android.databse.sqlite.SQLITEexception: no such table: account( code 1 SQLITE_ERROR):, while compiling: SELECT*FROM accounts_"

Thanks for your contribution. Did you use Titanium Backup or something similar in the past?

You are right, i restore a backup of the google authenticator done with 3c tools.

It appears that there are 2 more files that we need to copy over when importing from Google Authenticator, databases-shm and databases-wal.

I have this problem too, any idea on how to solve it or an ETA for a fix? Thanks and congratulations on your work.

@LucaDLL if I remember correctly a fix is already there in the master branch, it just need to be released. (Or that was the steam bug?) Maybe currently it has problems and that's why they didn't release it, but in the meantime you can build it yourself and install that version with Android Studio.

An other method could be if you open the database file* with a db explorer app (for example MiXplorer has such a component), you can read the secret yourself. You just need to copy or write that into the secret field for a new profile in Aegis. Be careful with copy pasting though, any app on your phone can subscribe for clipboard change events!

*You can file the db here: /data/data/com.google.android.apps.authenticator2/databases/databases

@LucaDDL There is no fix for this yet, but I think including those 2 files I mentioned in a previous comment would work.

We don't do ETA's, so I can't tell you when a fix for this will land. Consider submitting a patch if you would like to see this fixed sooner rather than later.

@alexbakker I think also databases-journal could be needed. I don't have -shm nor -wal besides the databases file, but I have a -journal one.

But still, if I only copy over the databases file to an other directory, I can still browse it with MiXplorer's SQLite editor and see the accounts table with its data, and Aegis gives me the same error as in the issue
