ROOTSMAGIC ANDROID ANDROID
RootsMagic lets you carry your genealogy on your Android device! RM7 previously specifically supported the Android app, however the Wiki cited by rzamore1 re using RM7 did not work for me.Ĭonclusion: give up trying to use the RM Android app with RM8 (or even 7 now) and use TomH’s suggestions.Your family tree at your fingertips! Now you can easily take and show off your family history with you wherever you go. Also, the RM8 Wiki only mentions using the iOS app, not Android. Apparently no one at RM uses Android phones. I will do the testing the best I can, I just don’t currently have an Android device to work with. "Thank you for contacting RootsMagic Support. On ApI reported all of this to RM in an email and received the following response: It did however save another copy of the rmgc file in a TempRMBackup folder under Apps\RootsMagic. In v7, I tried to save a backup of the exported v8 file (now v7 again) to Dropbox and received a message from Dropbox that my current browser (v7?) is not supported.
Just continually crashes and closes until Android reports that the app keeps stopping. I then again reinstalled the app and tried to open it and once again it will not open. I ran all the tools again and they reported no more errors. I again ran the database tools in v7 and there were some indexing errors found in the integrity test, which were fixed by Rebuild Indexes.
ROOTSMAGIC ANDROID PC
I then went to an older PC laptop that still has version 7 installed and opened the file in Dropbox with no problem. I actually have two different files and the results were the same with both. After each try, the app opened, but when I selected the rmgc file in Dropbox I received an error message and the file would not open, but the app did not crash. I then followed the instructions to export the v8 file to v7 format and again ran the database tools with no errors reported, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, three times. I followed all the steps in the FAQ “Android App Crashing or Forced Closed” with the v7 file. But when I switched to RM8 and tried to open it in the Android app crashed. I had no problem with the Android v1.4 app on a Pixel phone with RM7. It just seems to me that RM8 just does not support an Android App. And when RM7 or RM8 is putting an RMGC file into Dropbox, they don’t know if your mobile device is iPhone or Android. As I was saying, the mobile app doesn’t know the difference between RMGC files created by RM7 or RM8. So I tried the RMGC file put into Dropbox by RM8 in the RM mobile app.
My RM mobile app was still using the RMGC file put into Dropbox by RM7. It just involves the Dropbox mobile app to the sure the file is on my mobile device. Note the this little test does not involve the RM mobile app at all. If you can run that test successfully, then then I’m not sure what else you could try. I would assume that you can run the same test on the Dropbox app on your Android. The first one that comes up is the RMGC file created by RM8. I can run the Dropbox app on my iPhone and search for RMGC files. Since I don’t use Android, I can’t guarantee that the Android app doesn’t want the RMGC file somewhere else, but it wouldn’t make sense for it to be somewhere else. When RM8 creates the copy of the RMGC file, it doesn’t know or care whether the mobile device is going to be an iPhone or an Android. I’m an iPhone user rather than an Android user, but the location is the same either way, namely it’s \dropbox\Apps\RootsMagic\ But you have already confirmed that’s where RM8 put the RMGC file.
