Installing iBird 7.7 for Android

The installation process for iBird has changed as follows.
Use the Google Play page to install iBird to Internal memory. The app and database are now combined into a single file, and consume about 1.4 to 1.5 GB. So you'll need to make sure you have enough space for it to fit in your Internal Memory.

Note: If you have an older Android phone with not much Internal Memory you can temporarily move files to your SD Card or to a cloud location, then after you have installed iBird and moved its database to your SD Card. you can restore the files you moved back to your Internal Memory.

Once the app and database are installed in Internal memory you can leave them both there (if you have a lot of Internal Memory) or you can move the database to the SD Card (if you have one).

Moving Database to SD Card
To move the database to the SD Card first go to the navigation menu and select More->Move Database. See Figure 1 below.

Figure 1- The More Page with Move Database item.

After selecting Move Database you will be on the screen shown in Figure 2 below. Here you can direct the database to move from Internal Memory to SD Card memory or from the SD Card to Internal memory. There is also a Delete button should you wish to remove the database from either location.

Note: The MORE INFO button takes you to this article. 

As you can see from this screen the database is stored in Internal Memory. You can tell because the first row called Internal Storage has a DELETE button on the right which lets you remove the database. The second row is called SD Card and has a MOVE HERE button which lets you move the database from Internal Memory to the SD Card. To move this to the SD Card just tap the MOVE HERE button on the second row called SD Card. 

One you press this button you will see a spinning cursor as its processing the move of the database. This should only take a few minutes. Allow this to finish. Once its completed you will see a screen like the one in Figure 3 below.

Figure 3 - Database has been moved to SD Card.

On this screen you can move the database from the SD Card back to Internal Memory. You might want to do this because the database opens faster from Internal Memory.
