backup/restore IDs to/from the Android app

[kolAflash]

Is it possible to restore the ID from the threema.id file to the Android Threema app?
I guess not, because the current password {0xA, 0xB, 0xC, 0xD, 0xE} is some non character stuff you can't type into the app.

I changed the password to {0x60, 0x61, 0x62, 0x63, 0x64} which translates to "01234" in ASCII and recompiled the demo.
Then I deleted threema.id and the demo generated a new one. But I also couldn't restore that new ID in the Android Threema app.

And what about the other way around and making the password configurable by a file like the threema.id file!?
So you can put the ID backup from the app into the threema.id file to make the demo use an existing Threema ID from the app.

My fault, I did the ASCII translation wrong.

WRONG: {0x60, 0x61, 0x62, 0x63, 0x64} != 01234

CORRECT: {0x60, 0x61, 0x62, 0x63, 0x64} == `abcd

Now restoring the backup from the demo into the App works fine!

Nevertheless, what about:

• Changing the default password to something easy typeable like '01234' which (correctly) translates to {0x30, 0x31, 0x32, 0x33, 0x34}.
• Or making the password configurable. Either by configuration file or by commandline option.

It's just demo code ;)
We'll unclutter it even more so the important stuff gets more focus. You're free to implement this however you like in your projects.
