Thanks for the quick reply Mark. You are right about the path, and yes I do have a database to which the carousels are being saved. The paths of the files on my device are (as expected, obviously...): ./data/data/com.mobilemerit.ultimatefaves/shared_prefs/ com.mobilemerit.ultimatefaves_preferences.xml ./data/data/com.mobilemerit.ultimatefaves/databases/ UltimateFavesPro.db
As far as I know the database access is ok. (I e-mailed the user to confirm this, but without it the app would be totally useless for him, and I don't think he would have bothered otherwise...) What can cause the situation you described?
