List is empty in Android 10

After my phone (Nokia 7 Plus) updated to Android 10, the app shows no entries anymore. The list is completely empty. Please fix this.

Hello, I see the same empty list using WiFiKeyShare 1.2.0 on LineageOS 17.1-20200307_155711-UNOFFICIAL-enchilada (Android 10) running on a OnePlus 6. The list should have 2 entries (one with a password). It would be great if WiFiKeyShare could work again especially as Android 10 now has a builtin method to add a Wi-Fi network by QR code. Thanks for WiFiKeyShare!

I see no response to this issue after a couple of months. Has this project been abandoned?

I honestly fear it is, personally, I am getting sick of having to open a terminal window and catting /data/misc/wifi/WifiConfigStore.xml all the time so I might see if I can fork this project or something. No guarantees, but use the following commands close as they might be handy and a more manual way of viewing such passwords:

$ su
# grep -E 'SSID|PreSharedKey' /data/misc/wifi/WifiConfigStore.xml | sed -e '/boolean name/a\---------------'

Still, not sanitized and kinda hard to look over but atleast better than catting the file. It's what does it for me for the time being

I just figured out that LineageOS 17.1 also has a new feature to show the WIFI-keys. Go to the list of saved networks, choose one of the list and tap "Share". Voila!

Confirmed on my LOS 17.1 device, thanks! This feature should have been in Android by default a long time ago, and during the many years it wasn't, this app served me well. Thanks to the original author!
