Export/Import App List

[ildar]

closest app: https://github.com/fedefernandez/MyAppList (also available in F-Droid archive) Main functions:

1. export list of the installed apps;
2. automatic export on app install/remove event;
3. view the saved export list and install apps with F-Droid / GooPlay / whatnot.

Functions that MyAppList doesn't yet implement:

1. save app version info

Seems to be a good idea, especially for non-root users. I've looked into the app, it has a lot of features such as saving xml files, opening the saved xml files, sharing using multiple format, opening an app via Google Play, etc. But not all of them seems to have practical benefits. Could you briefly explain your feature request so that I can understand what you exactly want to see in AM. This would also help me understand where the relevant features should be added.

Uscase 1 is simple: 1 . a user just installs/deletes his apps. AM create an app list file each time. 2. when time comes, user changes his phone. He opens the app list there and fires up the "install selected apps". AM launches F-Droid/GPlay installation pages one by one allowing to install the apps from the list.

Implementation of app list in AM will be very different from the original app considering the following reasons:

• The feature won't introduce any visible changes in the UI (except the settings page)
• The feature has to have some practical necessities
• The feature won't be introducing too much overhead
• The feature is doing exactly what it is meant to do

Export will be available from the batch operations and both export and import will be available in settings.

Things that will be backed up:

1. Package name
2. App label
3. Version name
4. Version code
5. Signing info
6. Installer
7. First installed
8. Last updated

~~Version info and others won't be backed up because there are no practical reason for them.~~ Version info will be backed up and displayed to the user so that the user can manually choose which version to install in the market. Not all app markets allow specifying custom versions.

Import

• Import will only import the uninstalled apps, installed apps will be ignored
• Users can select which apps to import (all will be selected by default)
• After clicking ok, the user will be directed to the configured market place (ie. F-Droid clients or Aurora Store) where they can install the app
• After the app is installed, AM will open the next app in the configured market place and so on.

Readable exported list should also be considered: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.onyxbits.listmyapps

You can restore apps after installing a new ROM, restoring factory settings or even using a new device. You can also share the list of apps with your friends.

Note: This does not back up the app data or the apps themselves.
