Add configuration restore confirmation when reinstalling MacroDroid

[Tyler2213]

I accidentally uninstalled the MacroDroid app. And when I reinstalled it, all my MacroDroid configuration is restored to factory settings. And I lost my macros. And even variables. Can you add this?

Head to the backup tile, the red one. See if anything shows there, check cloud backup tab as well.

Otherwise, in a file manager head to /storage/emulated/0/MacroDroid and check all files to see if it can be restored.

Also, try total commander search feature and search for *.mdr* to check

If you are rooted then there are undelete tools on the play store. For the future, there is an action to export macros, I have this done once a week. Else if you shared any on WhatsApp or any other messaging app then recover them that way or download from the macro store.

None of them works... I want an confirmation when reinstalling MacroDroid instead!

Man. There is plenty ways how to backup your macros. You can even add backup action into any of your macros to export them into whatever folder you want. You should rather learn from this and start backing up your macros properly. It strikes me as strange that no backup was found in the MacroDroid folder, since its contents are not deleted when uninstalling MacroDroid.

On the end, building macros is so fun. Isn't it? You will build them better this time.

Now I reinstalled MacroDroid after I uninstalled it... a few days ago I had to delete it again. Now I reinstalled it and made different macros. (never heard of recreated macros!)
