I use two-step verification for Dropbox - and my verification device is my phone, so it's not possible to open Aldiko Sync, login to Dropbox (twice), then go to my Google Authenticator app for the code, and come back to Aldiko Sync - the authentication process is interrupted as soon as I switch to the Google Authenticator app.

And there's not enough time to write down the code from Google Authenticator, and then go to Aldiko Sync (believe me I tried several times).

What do you suggest to authenticate to Dropbox for me? I'm not sure it is an option, but other apps handle authentication a little more "gently" (such as Dropsync), authenticating as a Dropbox app instead of using password authentication. I can't recall exactly how the process was different, but I was able to authenticate Dropsync without a problem.

You can try disabling two factor authentication, allow the sync app to login and then turn it back on.

From what I've heard that works reliably.

Please let me know if that didn't work for you.

Downgrading to Aldiko Free version 2.1.0

The latest versions of Aldiko no longer allow the sync app access to its database, breaking the sync feature.

One way around it is to root the device. If that is not an option, then you need to downgrade Aldiko to a version that doesn't have that restriction.

Here is the process:

  1. Uninstall existing version of Aldiko.
  2. If you don't have the Pro version, or have automatic sync disabled, open the sync app, click on Settings and then "Reset State".
  3. Ensure your device is setup to "side load" app's. If you're not familiar with the term, here is a link that might help:
  4. Install Aldiko Free version 2.1.0 attached to this post.
  5. Turn off automatic update for Aldiko in the Google Play Store, and never accept future updates.

If you have any issues, please use the "Report Issue" feature in the sync app to get in touch with me.

Downgrading to Aldiko 2.1.0 no longer works if your device has Android L (Lollipop) or later, since Google made some breaking changes that cause this version of Aldiko to crash on start up.

Unable to get root access for Aldiko Sync

Hi, I have two devices. The first is a Samsung Galaxy S2, which I have successfully installed Aldiko Sync on and completed a successful sync. The other is a Nexus 7 running 4.2.1 and has been rooted. I was able to install Aldiko Sync but it will not sync. The entire sync log is:

Code: 
Sync started at ...

Checking for internet access...
Checking if Aldiko is installed...
Failed.  Please open Aldiko and then re-run this operation.

Sync ended at ...
Upon launching Aldiko Sync, SuperSU (v0.99 installed) never showed the "Grant Access" popup and if I launch SuperSU, it doesn't show Aldiko Sync in the Apps tab. I've been trying to find instructions on how to manually add an app to SuperSU's list but there doesn't seem to be one. Any ideas why Aldiko Sync isn't requesting root access? I've un-installed and re-installed both Aldiko Sync as well as SuperSU. Also, I've added other apps which require root access and they correctly prompt SuperSU to grant access, so it appears as though SuperSU is working normally.

I don't think the issue is with the sync app or SuperSU.

This issue has been reported a couple of times, and both times it seemed to be caused due to a bad/corrupt install/update of Aldiko. Try completely uninstalling Aldiko on the device and then reinstall it.

Once you've done so, open Aldiko once, so it creates fresh databases.

Please let me know if that fixes the issue.

Thanks.

Ok, that did indeed fix it. I had reinstalled Aldiko previously but this time I cleared the app data first, uninstalled, then opened it before launching Aldiko Sync. One of those steps must've been the necessary one. Thanks for the quick reply!

Trying to install that APK on Nexus7 fails with "App not installed".
LogCat showing errors starting with "Cannot obtain root".

Anyone has any idea why does it fail? And why would this APK require root?

Sorry, what are you referring to when you say "that APK"?

My app's do not require root to install. The sync app will ask for root when a sync operation is initiated, if and only if you have Aldiko 2.2.0 and later installed on the device.

Can you please send me the logcat output?

Thanks.

I had this issue, as well. Most text message apps will allow you to turn off the privacy settings so that the full message text scrolls across the notification bar at the top of the screen without interrupting the app that is currently in use. I did that, got past the authentication, and then changed the privacy settings back to where they were. Just another method, if anyone needed one.

Re: [APP][2.1+] Aldiko Sync

Hey GameGod72,
I'm trying to run your app on a Nexus 4 running Android 4.2.2 via Chainfire's S15 rom. When I try and run this app, everything seems fine. I get a SU request, and the Dropbox login screen pops up in what looks like a Web browser. The problem is that there I can't do anything. All of the text fields and hyperlinks on that page are unresponsive when I click on them. I tried searching this thread to no avail. Do you have any ideas?

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

*Edit* I don't think that it has any bearing on this problem, but I've tried with both Aldiko 2.1.0 linked above, and the current 2.2.3.

That's very weird. Can you please send me a screen shot and a report from the device? Please reference this conversation, so I can follow up with you.

Also, would it be possible for you try this on the stock ROM and see if that also exhibits similar behavior?

You're right, the Aldiko version does not matter in this case.

Thanks.

Hey there, I wanted to ask a quick question. I set it to "Restrict to WiFi" so it only syncs when I am connected to wifi, but whenever I lose focus of Aldiko, it attempts to sync, regardless if I am connected to WiFi or not. It often pops up with errors saying a connection was not available. I was thinking it would be better if the app didn't even attempt to sync it unless it was on WiFi. Like it should check to see if it was on WiFi first before trying to sync. That way, there wouldn't be so many error notifications when it isn't connected to wifi.

The notification is intentional. It's an indication that you have pending changes from Aldiko that haven't been synced to Dropbox.

If you forget to allow this device to sync, but open the same book on another, it causes both devices to be out-of-sync. This issue caused a lot of complaints in the past.

Since you have the Pro version, you can always clear the notification, if it bothers you.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

    I'm an avid user of the Aldiko eBook reader app and recently got myself a tablet. Naturally, I wanted to be able to read my books on my phone and the tablet. I hoped there would be something that would allow me to easily do this, but I only found a stale thread on the Aldiko support site that said they would support this feature sometime in the future.

    Therefore, I present to you, my first Android app, Aldiko Sync that allows you to sync both your books and bookmarks across various Android powered devices.

    ** Note **

    The app requires a rooted device to work with Aldiko v2.2.0+. This is because Aldiko no longer allows other apps access to its database.

    ** Note **


    Requirements:
    • Android 2.2+
    • Aldiko 2.0.2+ (Free or Premium)
    • Rooted device (Aldiko 2.2.0+)
    • Dropbox account
    Features:
    • Synchronizes eBooks across devices (including addition of new books and deletion of old books)
    • Synchronizes your position in each eBook across devices.
    • Pro Version: Fully automatic sync.
    • Pro Version: Faster sync check for changes on Dropbox.
    • Pro Version: Trigger sync from an external application (like a Tasker/Locale plugin).
    • Ability to store deleted books in a separate "TrashCan" folder on Dropbox in case you want to retrieve it at a later date.
    • Ability to always sync to furthest read point (like the Kindle).
    Current Limitations:

    • User defined bookmarks are not synced across devices.
    Now available on the market:


    FAQ:

    • Will books that I add directly to Dropbox be synced to my devices?
      • No, they won't. My sync app synchronizes books in the Aldiko library between devices, using Dropbox as a storage location.

        I'd love to be able to add books directly to the Aldiko library as they are added to Dropbox but its not an easy task. Unfortunately, Aldiko doesn't expose any means to import books without user interaction. The import process is crucial because thumbnails and cover images are generated only during the import process. My sync app gets around this problem by just shuffling the images around to various devices once they have been created by the import process on one device.

        One way to work around this limitation is to use the Dropbox PC and Android apps to keep the non imported books in sync between the PC and Android device by having them in a separate shared folder. Once the book is on the device, its fairly easy to import it into Aldiko. Once its in the library, my sync app will take care of the rest.
    • Sync is broken, and I don't want to root my device. What do I do?
    • Why is a sync operation started when I unlock my device?
      • A sync is performed on device unlock to sync down changes made to the Aldiko library by other devices.

        The idea is to have all changes synced down to the device before Aldiko is opened. Ideally, this would be performed just before a book is opened in Aldiko. However, since the sync functionality is not built into Aldiko, this was the best method I could come up with to ensure the library was always kept in sync.
    • Why was the "Hide Status Icon" behavior changed?
      • Due to the way Aldiko is designed, a sync operation is not guaranteed to succeed if Aldiko is opened before it is complete. The icon is a an indication that its not "safe" to open Aldiko yet.
    • Why are changes made to a book on my device not propagating correctly to the other?
      • The most common reason for this is that one or more of the devices do not have the date/time set correctly. Having incorrect time settings on a device will cause sync to behave erratically.
      • The other reason could be that the "Sync To Furthest Point" is not consistently set across all devices.
    • How do I safely transfer my Aldiko Sync settings to another device (with Titanium Backup or similar apps)?
      1. Turn off automatic sync on the device before backup.
      2. Restore on new device (app + data).
      3. Open sync app, click on Settings -> Reset State and enable automatic sync.
      4. Run a manual sync operation to ensure all books are synced down to the new device correctly.
    • How do I recover books from the TrashCan folder into Aldiko?
      1. From the device, use a brower or the Dropbox app to log into the Dropbox account.
      2. Navigate to the book in the TrashCan folder.
      3. Download the book to the device. The thumbnail/cover images are not needed.
      4. Import the downloaded book into the Aldiko library.
      5. Open the sync app and click on the Sync button to sync the "new" book to Dropbox.
      6. Delete the folder that contains the book from the TrashCan folder on Dropbox.
    • How do I trigger a sync with Tasker?
      • This feature is available in the Pro Version.

        Tasker allows you to have finer control over when a sync is triggered. Note that when a sync is triggered this way, the "Optimize Network Traffic" feature is disabled.

        To trigger a sync with Tasker, you send commands to the app using a Tasker Action Intent.
        When Tasker presents its list of Actions, select Misc Action, then Action Intent.
        When tasker prompts for the 'Action', enter com.ucr.aldikosync.triggersync
        The Category should remain at its default of None, and the optional Data field should be left blank.The Extra fields should also be left blank.
        The Target field should remain at its default of Broadcast Receiver.
    New Features:

      • Bug-Fix: Detect and ignore incompatible thumbnail/cover images when adding new eBooks instead of failing the sync operation.

    I use MyUnlock Utilities to do an automatic unlock and it does not interfere with AldikoSync.

    could the same be done for moon+reader
    many like it better than aldiko,
    i am on the fence between the too. I like moon reader better from a reading perspective. but synching will seal the deal.

    Sorry, I don't use Moon reader. I looked at it in the market at it says the Pro version has a "bookmarks share" feature. Does that do what you're looking for?

    Can this be used to add books to my phone from my PC? I put some new ebooks into the dropbox folder on my PC. I can see the files in the dropbox on my phone but I do not see them in Aldiko after running the Sync.

    You must first import the books into Aldiko from one device before they can be seen by my app.

    To do that, try this on the phone that has the new books:

    • Open Aldiko and then navigate to the "Home" screen within it.
    • You should see an option called "SD Card".
    • Click that option, navigate to the dropbox folder on the SD card, and import your books from it into Aldiko.
    • Once they are in Aldiko, use my app to do a sync.
    Now, use my app as usual from any of your other devices and the new books will get added to the device if they don't exist.

    Let me know if you have any issues.
