I believe this was resolved, as you got in touch with me thru the app's built-in bug reporting feature.

Please let me know if you're still having issues.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] doumer:
there have been an update to aldiko (premium) and now aldiko sync (pro) unfortunaltely says, it can't reaches aldikos database. Hopefully an update resolves this, because your app is the most awesome android app ever and the reason why I initially bought an tablet :)
[Android Apps and Games] pharpe:
Yeah I'm now getting permission denied when trying to sync the Aldiko database
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
Unfortunately, Aldiko has deliberately updated their app to no longer allow third party apps access to the database.

The current work around is to either downgrade to a prior version or switch to the Free version.

The app will need extensive changes to support Aldiko 2.2+. I'm working on it. In addition, the app will require a rooted device to work with the new and future versions of Aldiko.
[Android Apps and Games] pharpe:
That sucks. Keeps us posted. I have no problem with the root requirement.
[Android Apps and Games] trogdan:
Bummer. From Aldiko, the changes they rolled out finally let's me use opds with my nexus 7, but now I can't sync. So much for saving my places. BTW, They plan on rolling out the changes in the free version soon.
[Android Apps and Games] doumer:
oh man, this sucks :crying:

your app is the reason why i bought aldiko, otherwise never would have bougth the premium version :(

hopefully you manage to sort the problems out. root shouldn't be a problem for most users I think...why would anybody stay with an unrooted android device anyway :p
[Android Apps and Games] theslashy:
Dito...

hope you get it working...!!!

if you need testers...:)
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
Thank you for the support.

Please PM me your email address and device/OS so I can get in touch with you when I have a version ready for testing.

I have Aldiko Sync Pro and Aldiko Premium installed on my Gnex and Nexus 7. Both devices have the latest update of both apps. The Nexus 7 syncs fine but the Gnex is throwing an error:

"Failed. Stored remote state is invalid or corrupt."

I've tried Clear Token and Reset State.
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
Please open the sync app on each device, click on Sync, wait for it to complete. Then click on Settings, then the "Report Issue" button.

This will send me info from each device that will help me debug this issue.

On my Nook Classic (Android 2.1), AldikoSync fails to start up since the latest upgrade. If I read the logcat output correctly, the application obtains root privileges as it should, but then fails internally in AldikoPackage.makeVersion() :crying:

Installed on that device is Aldiko Premium, version 2.2.0. Up until the previous version of Aldio, synchronization worked beautifully. If you need further information, or someting I can dig out of further logcat output, please tell me.

[Android Apps and Games] kreza:
It is cool!

Thanks :good:
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
Thanks for posting the log output. I found and fixed the issue. The problem is a bug in Android OS 2.1 which does not return the installed package version, if it is defined as a resource string. This was why the app crashed only on Android 2.1.

I've released a new version on the Market, please try it and see if problem still persists.
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
New version with a couple of bug fixes released. First post updated with details.
[Android Apps and Games] hakan42:
Thanks for the quick fix. Do you know how long it takes for the market to display your new version? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ucr.aldikosync still shows 5. August as the last change date.

If possible, could you attach the fixed version to this post? I'd love to give it a quick test because I'm starting my vacation in about 48 hours ;)
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
From past experience, takes about an hour or so to propagate.

I see the updated version now in the Market. Let me know if you're still unable to download the new version.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] hakan42:
I'm seeing it just now as well. I have updated your app on the Nook, the fix works, my reader is synching two weeks worth of books just now :highfive:

Interestingly, my other device, the Galaxy S III mobile, still insists that there are not updates from the market. Maybe some caching issue with the market client?
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
Double post, removed.
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
Yes, I think it takes a while for all the servers to sync up. In any case, glad its fixed :)
[Android Apps and Games] sashusmom:
Game god- very cool app. I've been hoping for something like this for years. Thank you. Bought the pro key. Keep up the great work. Aldiko is my favorite reader and you have made it perfect!:victory:
[Android Apps and Games] davegene:
I was about to buy the pro unlocker but it's not available to purchase in my country (Saudi Arabia). I can buy other apps just fine, I guess you've restricted it by location for some reason?
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:

[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
Thank you for bringing this to my notice. I'm not sure how that happened, I don't remember changing anything in the restricted countries section.

In any case, I've made the app available for sale in your country, so you should be able to buy it when the Market servers get updated.
[Android Apps and Games] davegene:
Thanks for the quick action, purchased.
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:

FTP

Have you considered adding FTP/SFTP/FTPS options for storage? This is something I'd buy the unlocker for twice over.
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
Not really. I believe you're only the second person to request the feature.

Unfortunately, the Android API doesn't support FTP operations natively. I'd have to add a third party library, which adds to the amount of work required to implement this feature.

If there is more demand for this feature, then I will consider it for a future release.

Dropbox service issues

Dropox API used by apps to interact with the service is down. Dropbox support is aware and working on it.

The sync app will be functional once they have fixed issues on their end.

Thanks for your patience!

Hmm now it won't let me delete things, I am using the trash, says it cant move the files....
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:

Then click on Settings -> Report Issue to send me email with the details, so I can help you.
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:

[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
Thank you, I really appreciate it. I try to do the best I can.
[Android Apps and Games] hakan42:
Actually, if you would consider it, count me as the third one who would love SFTP storage. I am always fearful of the day when the guys at Dropbox will consider my ( paid for ) books as potentially copyright infringing and just kill the account as it happened to the developer of calibre2opds :what:
[Android Apps and Games] leo662:
Great app! Within minutes if testing the free version on my various devices I purchased the pro key. Couple of suggestions I have... 1) add me to the list for ftp/sftp access...2) perhaps adding options for timed syncing to do it on unlock (as it currently is) and timed (every x-amount of minutes/hours).
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
Thanks for the support.

My goal for auto sync is for the user to set it and forget it. The idea is that the device is always in sync before the user opens Aldiko. Having timed options goes against this principle, so I am unlikely to implement such a feature.

I would, however, like to know your reasons for requesting this feature.
[Android Apps and Games] leo662:
I'm not sure what the battery toll is by having it try to sync every time I unlock my device, but that is my main concern. Also, simply attempting a sync every single time I unlock seems unnecessary. For all I know, though, my phone is doing just that with every other sync service & I just don't know it since there's no notification.

That being said, I did just find the instructions for getting Tasker to trigger AldikoSync every so often (which is what I do with the global auto sync to conserve battery). I figure building this functionality into the app itself could help the less technically inclined.

Love Aldiko sync, unhappy with aldiko. I just bought the paid version of aldiko, (rooted unlocked stock jellybean nexus 7) Installed, and it didn't see my library I had for the free version. Then aldiko sync failed.

Uninstalled paid aldiko, and all works again.

Any thoughts on how to get paid version of aldiko to work?
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
Glad you like my sync app :)

Its not very apparent, but paid and free versions of Aldiko are two different products, and there is no migration path between them, without my app.

To migrate your existing library from Aldiko Free:

a. Open my sync app, click sync, wait until it completes, make sure there are no errors.

b. Uninstall Aldiko Free.

c. Install Aldiko Premium.

d. Open my sync app, click sync. This will add your books to Aldiko Premium. You can verify that its doing so if you see a lot of entries with +Local in them in the log.

Open Aldiko Premium, and your books (and positions) should have migrated over.

Let me know if that worked as expected.
[Android Apps and Games] whatsinaname:
thanks for the quick reply, unfortunately when I try to sync I get an error about it failing to move a book to the trash hmmm

Nook Glow

Background: Just wondering - I've got a GNexus and a Nook Color - I'm thinking about getting a Nook Glow since it is great for reading, but I read a lot of non B&N books and I like having them sync. Both of these devices are rooted and sync with Aldiko Sync is working great.

My question is: Has anyone gotten Aldiko Sync & Aldiko working on a Nook Glow? If so, how is the reading experience?

Followup question: I'll likely buy Aldiko Sync, but I'm just wondering - how is the battery hit? I'm just concerned when I wake up the phone a lot it will kill the battery faster than I'd like.

Thank you in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
I haven't heard of anybody using it on the Glow so far. But AFAIK it runs Android OS 2.1, which is compatible with Aldiko and Aldiko Sync.

I designed the auto sync feature to be very frugal with both battery and network resources. My device has ICS and Aldiko Sync doesn't even register on the battery usage panel. Of course, every person's usage is different, but by and large, it should have minimal to no impact on battery life. The only way to know for sure it to try it :) If you have any issues, please contact me and I'll try my best to resolve it to your satisfaction.

drop box 2 factor authentication

Just curious, for some reason my dropbox token got cleared so it asked me to log into dropbox again, I have 2 factor authentication turned on, after entering login and password nothing happens (usually popup come up asking for 6 digit auth code)

I can get it to work by turning off 2 factor auth, but curious if you plan to somehow allow it to work.

Thanks.

Oh, for the record, I can disable 2 factor auth in dropbox, login to dropbox with aldiko sync and then re-enable 2 factor on dropbox.com and it all works
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
As of the latest Dropbox API, there is no support for two factor authentication. I had another user with a similar issue who got it working. This was his response:

Please try it and let us know if it works for you as well

.
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
Presumably, this does the same thing as what I suggested above, but without the need to turn off two factor authentication.

I guess you can pick whichever method is less tedious :)

I don't get an email from dropbox for onetime password. I will look at it more. It's working now so I will leave well enough alone :)

iOS support?

I know this is an android forum and an android app, but I have a mixed OS household with an iPhone (3G if it matters). I've been googling around for any iOS <-> Android sync outside of Kindle and haven't found anything yet.

I love my Aldiko reader on my tablet, but it would be great to be able to sync furthest page read between any ereader on iOS and Aldiko sync. So I figured I'd ask where they have half the solution anyway. Is there anything out there that could read Aldiko sync dropbox info and update reading positions in an iOS reader iBooks for example?

Is there even interest from other people with a mix of OSes on their mobile devices for this functionality?

Thanks for all your work on Aldiko sync.
[Android Apps and Games] hakan42:
Actually, I am thinking about getting myself a Kobo Glo, which would put me in the "mixed os" camp. I have no clue yet whether they offer any usable API though.

Unfortunately, for the ios part, you would have to count me out, I'm too far entrenched in the ios-over-my-dead-body camp :screwy:
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
Thanks for your support.

I have no plans to add any form of iOS support. I don't have the time or motivation to learn one more language and platform's idiosyncrasies. Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] SenorSmartyPants:
That's completely understandable and pretty much what I expected, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I'd rather not have the mixed OS going on, but I'm not the only one with a say in it.

As a fan of open standards it would be great if there was an open syncing standard that all clients could write to. It would be a great compliment to ePUB and OPDS. Ah, I can dream can't I.

Using Tasker to start a sync

I'm trying to use Tasker to build a better sync mechanism.

The idea is to replace Alidko application with a shortcut to Tasker task that does the following:

1) Run Aldiko sync

2) Wait until sync finishes

3) Launch Aldiko

I am currently struggling, however, with step #2 - I haven't found a way to get tasker to know that the sync is actually finished.

The directions I've tried:

1) Notification event of Tasker - I hoped I could get an event when the Notification of the sync appears and then disappears. However, Tasker doesn't seem to be able to detect the notification of Aldiko Syncr nor does it have an option to detect the disappearance of a notification (only an appearance of one)

2) Using LogCat command and write a file when a sync is over, then, use a "File modified" event in Tasker. However, I haven't found any relevant event in the LogCat

3) Another way, that I could see it happening would be if Aldiko wrote it log to the sdcard which I could then examine with Tasker. Is there such a log?

Any additional ideas or suggestions would be most welcome!
[Android Apps and Games] GameGod72:
Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to accomplish what you want currently.

I have a task to add a "sync and launch" trigger message that will do this, already on my to-do list.

Once I implement that feature that you should be able to do this very easily.
