This commit also refactors the code in SettingsFragment and moves it into the SettingsViewModel. The UsbMonitor turned out not to be reliable in determining changes to USB storage, so it was replaced with a ContentObserver which works for other storage types as well. |

Seedvault
A backup application for the Android Open Source Project.
Features
- Backup application data to a flash drive.
- Restore application data from a flash drive.
- User-friendly encryption using a mnemonic phrase (BIP39).
- Automatic daily backups that run in the background.
Requirements
- Android 11
For older versions of Android, check out the branches.
Getting Started
- Check out the wiki for information on building the application with AOSP.
What makes this different?
This application is compiled with the operating system and does not require a rooted device for use.
It uses the same internal APIs as adb backup
which is deprecated and thus needs a replacement.
