Import/export Unexpected error

[Suncoss]

Can anyone tell me why I am now receiving an error when trying to import updated Obtainium lists? The error message says: Unexpected error - PlatformException(invalid_format_type, Can't handle the provided file type., null, null)

This happens immediately on pressing the Obtainium import button. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app several times, clearing the cache etc. This is happening on my Ayn Thor, which was previously fine. Any ideas please?

It's possible the import JSON is corrupt -- try opening it in a text editor and see what it looks like (paste it here if you're comfortable doing that).

Hi, thanks for your response, but this happens before I even select a JSON file, and also I have re-downloaded the Obtainium packs a few times. Or am I misunderstanding your request?

Is there some kind of residual data that could be left behind causing the program to behave like that after I have previously uninstalled and reinstalled Obtainium?

To update...after several more attempts at deleting and reinstalling etc. I decided to bite the bullet and factory restore the Thor. Now Obtainium is back to working as normal. I'm guessing it was something with the Thor as opposed to your app that was causing the issue.

BTW, thanks for the work you do with this, it really is a great utility and a must-have for Android retro gaming. Cheers!
