Aldiko 2.0 database location

hakan42 · 05-19-2011, 12:43 PM

Hi all,

does anyone happen to know where Aldiko 2.0 manages its metadata? It used to be in the directory "Aldiko", file "library.db", but if I look at that file on my phone, it does not change even if i add new books to my database.

I want to write an application that reads the metadata, looking at whenever I mark a book as read, give it some stars for rating, and push that information into my calibre server (which needs to be extended for this to work, but this is another can of worms to open).

Regards,
Hakan

Answering myself

I installed and started Aldiko in a fresh Android Emulator. The freshly created library.db is stored in /sdcard/eBooks/library.db

Just to keep this information around for others who might search for the same thing

Regards,
Hakan
