Keepass2android: Database sync fails since ver. 1.05d

[bg777]

Since the new version (1.05d) the database sync fails (on start of a database or later from menu). Database is on the Google drive.
Error overlay "the name must not be empty: null" is displayed.

Same here.

[PhilippC]

this is an issue of permissions. Please go to Android settings / Apps / Keepass2Android / Permissions and make sure both "Contacts" (to query to the Google Accounts for GDrive) and Storage permissions (newly required) is active.

Both were active, but toggling solved the issue.

@PhilippC Hello, I'd mailed you earlier in the day about this same issue and you told me to re-toggle the settings. The app starting working on its own without me changing anything. I updated the app on another device and it's giving me the same error. Re-toggling has made it work, but before that I took a log of the app just in case it helps:

@PhilippC
The both permissions were set.
Re-toggling didn't help (tried several times in different ways).

One of the ways to reproduce the issue:

1. click "Open file..."
2. click "Google Drive"
3. choose a Google account used before (I have multiple Google accounts on the smartphone)

-> Error displayed

But it works, if I choose another Google account, not used with Keepass2android before !

Finally, removing of access permission in Google account helped:
https://myaccount.google.com/permissions?pli=1
Afterwards it was possible to grant the permission anew.

[Barleyman]

Toggling permissions off and back on fixed it.

[r100gs]

@PhilippC

Edit:
Ok, it took some time to remove permissions from google drive.
Now everything works perfect again

I have the same problem as bg777

Re-toggling did not help

The error message is: " the name must not be empty: null"

I use Oneplus 3 with Android 8.0.0

I removed the google permissions but did not help

Same error

[PhilippC]

to anybody who still has the error: could you please join the beta channel (https://play.google.com/apps/testing/keepass2android.keepass2android), and after receiving 1.05e (maybe a couple of hours later) please try again.
I have made a few changes to how the app requests the permissions (and this is a permission issue, related to changes in Android, https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/android-8.0-changes#rmp), but can only "hope" this will fix the issues. For this reason, please give me feedback. Thanks!

[SteveLane]

Hi @PhilippC - I joined the beta channel, updated, and after some minutes (maybe only 10 or so) I did not see the issue.

This was using Android 8.1.0

[travisbicks]

@PhilippC - Hi, I joined the beta channel and updated but I'm still having the issue over 10 hours later. Toggling permissions did not help. I removed the permission from google drive but cannot now access google drive through the app and get the error message: "the name must not be empty: null"
I'm using a OnePlus 3T, Android 8.0.0

[PhilippC]

@travisbicks first, please check the version by going to settings/about. If you have 1.05e and it still does not work, then please try to clear the app cache.

[travisbicks]

@PhilippC Yes, I had 1.05e. As you suggested, restarting my phone and clearing the app cache did the trick and it is now working. Thanks!
I downloaded your donate app and bought you a beer. I think it worked but I didn't see the consume beer animation. Thanks again!

[lepoitr]

Hmm, clearing cache.
What happens if I upgrade app before syncing all changes to the servers (cause some may be temporary unacessible)? Will I loose updates made on phone?

[PhilippC]

As I wrote above, you should not have local unsynchronized changes when clearing the cache. They would be lost then.
