[Therion] Android cave software on Windows

[Bruce Mutton]

Thanks Tarquin and Cookie, just the help I needed.
Android Studio came to a stop when I ran into a failed HAXM installation.
Before I could be bothered trying to unpick that I tried BlueStacks 4, and surprise surprise it was quite straight forward, once I got over 'in your face' gaming front it puts up.

SexyTopo looks like it works and Media Manager looks like it will too.
I like the way I get a SexyTopo shortcut that starts directly from my Windows 10 taskbar.

Tomorrow to try some real data from a hodge podge of SexyTopo files I've just inherited.

Bruce

Yay!

So...

BlueStacks 4 (not available on version 3).
Start it, log in to Play Store.
"Home" tab - Library - Google Play Store, install SexyTopo.
"Home" tab - Library - System apps - Media Manager.
Import From Windows, select all the files in a SexyTopo data folder (whatever you imported into Windows from your Android device Documents\SexyTopo\Surveys\somesurvey).
Imported files. Tap and hold on the first file to select it. Tap on the next one etc. until all are selected.
Click the Save icon.
Save it to Internal shared storage\Documents\SexyTopo\Surveys\somesurvey
(make sure you name the folder correctly or it won't work).
You can now access your survey from the SexyTopo app.

Hope this is useful to you Bruce.

I am guessing the same approach probably works for TopoDroid, but I do not use it, so have not tested it.
