How to import raw json?

[onnyyonn]

When I add an app from https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev by clicking on "Add to Obtainium", Obtainium shows the raw json that would be imported. If I have this json for an app, is there any way to import it manually? I looked into the "Import/Export" tab, and couldn't find anything similar. "Obtainium Import" fails to import these.

You can simply move the json file to Android\data\dev.imranr.obtainium\data. If it is correct, the app will be in the app list the next time you start it.

Thanks. But this directory is not accessible without root, is it?

Indeed, this has nothing to do with root. ~\Android\data is located in the user directory (path \storage\emulated\0\Android\data), where all other things such as documents (\storage\emulated\0\documents) etc. are also located. Recently (Android 13+), Google has come up with something new to bully third-party file managers (they justify it with security improvements, which this approach ultimately is, because a system always becomes more secure when fewer apps are allowed to do fewer things). The only file manager that can reliably access \storage\emulated\0\Android\ is the rudimentary file manager built into Android by default. However, because it is not displayed or hidden in most launchers (the app that displays the home screen and app list), there is this app in the Play Store, which creates a link to the system file manager.
