Database Copy between Android devices

Post by xcyclone »

Where is the database located in Android?

Since to Snyc is not for sure, is there a way to copy the Android database and paste it into another Android device running the same app?

I have several Android devices that need to be Sync from my PC. Rather than do it one at a time and try and wait until each actually happens, it would be great if I could copy the database from one Android and paste it into the other.

Thanks for the reply, but the reference stated "
"It's not possible to copy the EPIM's database file over as Android EPIM stores its data in the native Android database for better security and integrity of data."

But my question is to copy Android to Android with the database, if I new where it was located?

Android native database is not in a file and therefore cannot be transferred as one, unfortunately.

Sorry about that. Love the program but hate the Sync. It is very difficult to use because it only works some of the time after multiple tries. Normally I must delete the android app and install it again and then try to Sync which then most of the times will work. Tried the cable route but can not figure how to get past the Firewall in Norton Internet Security.

Most likely the firewall is preventing normal sync via Wi-Fi, as well. Please try to temporarily disable it for testing purposes and see if it helps. Thanks.
