The Latest ShopWise App.
Numerous ongoing changes including handling Android 9.0 (Pie) which introduced default of using WAL (write-ahead logging) (backup/restore correctly checkpoints if WAL is being used thus negating need to handle -wal and -shm files (which cause issues with many Apps)).
The latest change was the introduction of Shop-level values (total cost, remaining cost and amount spent) in the Shop heading.

Installation Instructions
To install ShopWise
- Ensure that your device allows installation from unknown devices by going into Settings and then Security and scrolling down to Unknown sources and enabling it.

- Allow the download to proceed accepting/ignoring all warnings.
- When prompted open the file and wait while the app installs (click Install if requested).

Other ShopWise data (databases)
A ShopWise Backup
Backups by default are named as above, the numeric part is the year (2017), month(06), day of the month(22), hour(07), minutes(05).
This could be used by downloading it and then copying it into the ShopWise directory of the Downloads directory on the device.
It will then be visible, as an available backup, in the Restore dropdown selector (TOOLS/BACKUP).
It is suggested, before restoring from this backup (should you wish to do so) that you first backup your database (TOOLS/BACKUP then click BACKUP).
A ShopWise Database that was used for testing an issue.
To all intents and purposes this is a backup, which is a copy of the SQLite database file, other than it's name.
As such, this is could be used by ShopWise by placing it in the ShopWise directory of the Downloads folder and then renaming it accordingly e.g. rename it to ShopWiseDB_201706220000.bkp.
The Backup activity (TOOLS/BACKUP) is flexible enough to even see the un-renamed file (see the User Guide for more information)
