Import and Export of Data
As of version 1.2 it is possible to export your tracked data to the sdcard and re-import the data or import other data provided that it is formatted correctly. The file with the data is located in /sdcard/droidweight/data.csv. The format is as follows:
value|type|date|metric|id 26.0|WEIGHT|2011-03-07 04:18:26|true|0 29.0|WEIGHT|2011-03-09 01:01:34|true|1 30.0|BODYFAT|2011-03-09 04:43:45|true|2 34.0|WAIST|2011-03-10 12:03:32|true
The id is optional. When exporting from DroidWeight, the id is the internal database id. This ensures that on re-importing no double entries are created!
The metric property is written out as true if you are using metric units and as false when you are using imperial units. While the data is stored in metric units internally. When exporting your preferred unit will be used.
If you have any questions regarding this or other features please don’t hesitate to ask (if you don’t want to do it publicly there’s always the contact page)

Graph is not working properly on 3.2 inch display
Hi, thanks for the bug report. I am working on a release that will hopefully handle this problem. The update should be released this week.
The “your goal” and the “to go” line on the statistics page don’t show the right info….I wanna loose one amount and the goal line says another ….and the to go line is some high number that makes no sense to me….I filled in the height and goal weight(both showing by lbs I wanted to loose and as how much I wanted to be when done) on preference page but the numbers were still off….not sure what I’m doing wrong.
Hi Heather,
thanks for the feedback. I’ll check the program and see if I can find out what is going wrong. I’ll get back to you.
Bye

I looked up the problem and it seems to me to be a misunderstanding because the description of the property is ambiguous. It currently says “your goal weight” this might be misunderstood to mean the amount you want to loose. This is supposed to be the weight you want to reach not the amount you want to loose. I will try and create a better description for the next release. I hope this helps.
I am also having a problem with the goal weight and BMI. My goal weight is 128lbs but in the statistics it says that my goal is like 52 lbs. So it says I have 80 some pounds to go instead of like 15. It also tells me that my BMI is 3.2 and I am underweight but when I use the BMI calculator my BMI is much higher and in normal weight range.
Thanks for the bug report. I am looking into it. I think I can reproduce the faulty behaviour. I’ll post if I find a fix and hopefully make a release for it ASAP.
I’ve found it and I am preparing to upload a fixed version right now. Thanks so much for your help by bringing this to my attention!
Very nice app; I use it everyday
1 bug report:
“Fast input” function does not work. When the function is checked, if I hit Menu/Create Entry then I get an error and the app closes.
Ideas/new features:
* On the tracking tab, would be good to have the 3 data (weight/waist/fat) quick entries instead of need to hit Menu/Select Display…
* On the history tab, have the option to see the 3 tracking curves on the same graph
When is scheduled the next release?
Thx for this great app!
Hi Lucien, thanks for the feedback. I know about that bug but haven’t fixed it yet. Maybe there is a work-around. I think it only happens when there is no entry yet for one of the values you want to input. Try switching back to normal input, switch the view to whatever measure type has no entries yet, input one and check if fast input works. Sorry for the trouble.
For the feature requests, I’ll see what I can do.
The next release is planned for beginning of May. I am currently working on a new app.

Hi,
how is it possible to add or change older entrie. Greets from Germany.
Hi Christian,
Gruss zurück
You can easily change an older entry by clicking on it (just press your finger on the list entry for a moment) a small popup should open and allow editing.
Alternatively if you want to import a bunch of older entries from another tool you could create a csv file according to the format (see documentation above) for DroidWeight and import that.
Oder auf deutsch: einfach den Eintrag “anklicken” Android Style – mit dem Finger kurz draufdrücken, dabei sollte ein kleines Popup aufgehen mit dem man ältere Einträge modifizieren kann.
Alternativ könntest du auch einen ganzen Satz Einträge älteren Datums importieren, indem du ein CSV File (Format siehe oben) anlegst und das auf der SD Karte ablegst und importierst.
Beantwortet das deine Frage?
Ciao
Sonja
Hello, Sonja.
Thanks, this is a very nice app !
Just one point : I imported data, which apears Ok on the weight screen, but the graphic history is not updated…
Hi Philippe, can you maybe post a sample of the data you imported I might see something in there that helps me determine what happened!
Bye
Sonja
Hi, Sonja
do you have an email address where I could send you this, or is there any way to attach a little file on this forum ?
Great app,
Please add an option an automatically determine body fat % based on weight, waist and neck or wrist.
Thank you!
Hey Sonja,
ich denke mal ich kann dir auch auf deutsch schreiben
Also ich würde auch gerne Einträge verändern. Frühere hinzufügen (Datum) und andere verändern. Wenn ich lange mit dem Finger auf den Eintrag drücke kommt nur: “Eintrag löschen” als Option. Wie kann ich das sonst ändern?
Und eine zweite Sachen ist ein Vorschlag: Ich fände es sehr schön, wenn man eine Trendlinie einbauen könnte. Am besten in einer anderen Farbe. Also alle Werte gemittelt und eine Linie die das anzeigt, ob es tendenziell nach oben oder unten geht.
Vielen Dank für diese unglaublich hilfreiche und gut aufgebaute App.
Mach weiter so
Pascal
This is a really useful app, which does what it should and this correctly. Nevertheless it were nice, if the age- and genderspecific BMI values for over- and underweight were used.
Hi
I would like to change the date of a previous entry. Is this possible?
I tried to adapt the export csv file and import it again but it doesn’t work umfortunately.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Have a good night.
