<h3>Creating and tracking habits</h3>

<h4>How can I track bad habits I want to break?</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>It is probably a better idea to rephrase your habit in a positive way. For
|
|
|
|
|
example, instead of having the bad habit "Did you smoke today?" you could have
|
|
|
|
|
the good habit "Did you have a smoke-free day today?". Another example, instead
|
|
|
|
|
of "Did you eat junk food today?" you could have "Did you eat healthy today?".
|
|
|
|
|
In this way, every time you open the app to put a checkmark, you are rewarding
|
|
|
|
|
yourself for some good behaviour, instead of getting punished.</p>

<h4>How can I specify that a habit should be performed on certain days of the week?</h4>

|
<p>You do not need to specify this. The app will figure it out by itself. You just

|
|
|
<p>You don't need to specify this. The app will figure it out by itself. You just
|
|
|
|
|
need to specify how many times would you like to repeat the habit in a certain
|
|
|
|
|
interval of time. For example, if you want to repeat a certain habit every
|
|
|
|
|
Monday and Friday, simply specify that you want to repeat the habit 2 times in
|
|
|
|
|
7 days, and then keep practicing your habit. If, during your first week, you
|
|
|
|
|
Monday and Friday, simply specify that you want to repeat the habit 2 times per
|
|
|
|
|
week, and then start practicing your habit. If, during your first week, you
|
|
|
|
|
indeed perform your habit on Monday and Friday, the app will automatically add
|
|
|
|
|
a checkmark on the following Saturday and Sunday. As long as you keep your
|
|
|
|
|
routine, the checkmarks should appear automatically on the correct days.</p>

|
|
|
<h4>When I am creating a new habit, what am I supposed to write on the "question" field?</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The question field is a place where you can specify more clearly the
|
|
|
|
|
requirements for the habit. For example, while the title of your habit might
|
|
|
|
|
say "Meditate", the question might ask "Did you meditate for at least 10
|
|
|
|
|
minutes this morning?". This question appears on the reminders.</p>

<h4>How can I put checkmarks in past days?</h4>

<h3>Importing and exporting data</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>How can I export my data?</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>If I uninstall the app, will I lose all my data?</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Open the main screen of the app, press-and-hold on the name of a habit, then
|
|
|
|
|
select the option "Export data" from the menu. You can also export data from
|
|
|
|
|
multiple habits simultaneously. The data will be exported as a ZIP archive,
|
|
|
|
|
containing individual comma-separated files for each habit, which can be opened
|
|
|
|
|
with any modern spreadsheet software, such as Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice
|
|
|
|
|
Calc.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Yes, uninstalling the app will delete all your data!</strong> All files inside the
|
|
|
|
|
folder <code>Android » data » org.isoron.uhabits</code> on the SD card will also be deleted.
|
|
|
|
|
This is the way Android was designed, and there is nothing Loop can do to
|
|
|
|
|
prevent it.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>If I factory-reset my phone, will I lose all my data?</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>If my phone gets damaged or factory reset, will I lose all my data?</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Loop supports Android's native backup service: if you have backups activated in
|
|
|
|
|
your phone settings (Settings / Backup & Restore / Back up my data), it should
|
|
|
|
|
your phone settings (Settings » Backup & Restore » Back up my data), it should
|
|
|
|
|
periodically save a copy of your data in the cloud automatically. The data will
|
|
|
|
|
be restored in case you factory-reset your phone or activate a new device. That
|
|
|
|
|
being said, this system can be unreliable at times, so if you want to make sure
|
|
|
|
|
that your data is safely backed up, it is still recommended that you use a
|
|
|
|
|
specialized backup utility, such as Titanium Backup. You can also export your
|
|
|
|
|
data manually, by long-pressing multiple habits, then selecting "export data"
|
|
|
|
|
on the menu. At the moment, there is no way to import the data, but this is a
|
|
|
|
|
planned feature. See the previous question for more details.</p>

be restored in case you factory-reset your phone or activate a new device.
|
|
|
|
|
<strong>Note however that uninstalling the app will delete all your data, in addition
|
|
|
|
|
to all the backups stored in the cloud</strong>. Furthermore, this backup system can be unreliable at
|
|
|
|
|
times. Therefore, if you want to make sure that your data is safely backed up,
|
|
|
|
|
it is still recommended that you use a specialized backup utility, such as
|
|
|
|
|
Titanium Backup. Alternatively, you can export a full backup of your data
|
|
|
|
|
manually. For more details, see the answer for the next question.</p>

|
|
|
|
<h4>How can I export a full backup of my data?</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Select the option "Export full backup" on the settings screen. A file will be
|
|
|
|
|
generated, and you will be asked to choose an app to share it to. If you select
|
|
|
|
|
an email application, you will be able to send the file as an attachment to
|
|
|
|
|
yourself. If you select Google Drive, Dropbox or similar apps, you will be able
|
|
|
|
|
to upload it. A copy of the generated file is also automatically saved on the
|
|
|
|
|
SD card, inside the folder <code>Android » data » org.isoron.uhabits</code>. Be aware that
|
|
|
|
|
this folder will be deleted when the app is uninstalled. If you would like to
|
|
|
|
|
keep the backups on the SD card after the app is uninstalled, you should move
|
|
|
|
|
them to another folder.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>How can I restore a full backup?</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>First, you should copy the backup file to the folder
|
|
|
|
|
<code>Android » data » org.isoron.uhabits</code> on the SD card. For security and privacy
|
|
|
|
|
reasons, Loop is only able to read files that are stored inside this folder. To
|
|
|
|
|
copy the file there, you can either connect your phone to your computer or use
|
|
|
|
|
a file manager app. After this is done, open Loop Habit Tracker, open the
|
|
|
|
|
settings menu, select the option "Import data", locate and then tap on the file
|
|
|
|
|
that you just copied. Your data will be restored.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>How can I export my data as CSV?</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Open the settings screen, scroll down to the section "Database" and select the
|
|
|
|
|
option "Export as CSV". The data will be exported as a ZIP archive containing
|
|
|
|
|
individual comma-separated files for each habit, which can be opened with any
|
|
|
|
|
modern spreadsheet software, such as Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice Calc.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>How can I import data from Tickmate?</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Tickmate, click on the menu, select the option "Backup database" and click OK.
|
|
|
|
|
Your data will be saved to a file inside the folder <code>Tickmate</code> on the SD card.
|
|
|
|
|
Next, you should move this file to the folder <code>Android » data » org.isoron.uhabits</code>
|
|
|
|
|
on the SD card. For security and privacy reasons, Loop is only able to read
|
|
|
