Description
Droid48 Reader is used to:* Read HP 48-Series calculator files
* Read data from Emu48 for Android, a separate HP 48 calculator emulator
* Read data from Droid48, a separate HP 48 calculator emulator
* Easily navigate through the data
* Save or share portions as HP48 files
* PNG support: HP48 graphics are convertible to standard PNG files
For example, if a user were to write a new program inside of 'Emu48 for Android' or 'Droid48', the user can then use 'Droid48 Reader' to extract this program as a stand-alone file onto their SD card. From here, the user can do whatever they normally would do with this file such as simply store the program for archival purposes, download this file into a real HP 48 calculator, share it with a friend to load into their own Emu48 or Droid48, or post it on the Internet at sites like http://www.hpcalc.org (note: these are beyond the scope of 'Droid48 Reader').
As another example, the user can read a large stand-alone file that is an HP 48 directory file, navigate to an algebraic equation, then share this algebraic equation via email (requires a separate Android email program that supports sharing).
A stand-alone HP 48 file is a file for the Hewlett-Packard 48-series of calculators (ex: HP 48S, 48SX, 48G, 48G+, and 48GX). More can be read on these calculators on Wikipedia.
'Emu48 for Android' is an Android program which emulates several HP calculators, including the HP 48GX, on Android. It is independently developed (not developed by Drehersoft) and is a separate program from 'Droid48 Reader'. 'Emu48 for Android' is available on Google Play.
When using 'Droid48 Reader' with 'Emu48 for Android', it is important to first use the Save As... menu in 'Emu48 for Android'. This saves its data using the standard Android UI. After doing this, return to 'Droid48 Reader', select Open File from the menu, and navigate to where the data was just saved to.
Note that 'Emu48 for Android' also has the built in ability to save data. Put the data into level 1 of the stack and use the Save Object... menu. This works for any data that can be put on the stack.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew
5 ★This app is a must for Droid48 Users. It allows a user to backup data from Droid48 for archiving, sharing or even transfer to a real HP48S,SX,G,GX or G+! Work on the calculator should always be archived as the emulator, like the real calculator is subject to crashing. All of the HOME directory should be backed up. Use a name built of of today's date such as :5:AUG1217.D48 and execute ARCHIVE. This name tells when the archive was made. Click menu, Save Memory State. Start the Reader. (Make sure show hidden structures is on.) Since the name was tagged with 5 the archive is in Port 5 so click that icon. Long press AUG1217.D48. This will recall the HOME directory as a Backup object. Navigate to where you want to save it, adjust the filename and click SAVE. To recover, from Droid48 click Put program on stack, navigate to the directory (folder) where the archive is and click it. Backup AUG1217.D48 will appear. Execute RESTORE. Tap ON a few times and you are back in business. Oct 2018: Updated to work on Android Pie
5 ★I don't understand what to choose/open .lib or .s ?
5 ★It allows a user to export Droid48 files to the Android device. Check show hidden structures to enable objects in ports to be exported as backup objects. Droid48 Reader allows the user peak under the hood of Droid48 and to see temporary objects. It can also tell if the calculator memory on Droid48 is going bad, often before the calculator begins to misbehave. Everything serious should be archived with Droid48 Reader. Sooner or later Droi48 will crash just like the real calculator. If Droid48 Reader has been used to export the calculator can be recovered by importing.
5 ★If you have downloaded Droid48, you may have noticed it has no export feature. This app allows exporting and it also gives a peek of the calculator. It only works on GX mode. (for SX emulation, download droid48sx.) All kitkat and Lollipop users are supported,
4 ★Recently fixed to support the newer operating systems KitKat and Lollipop. This app now works for all Kitkat and Lollipop users
5 ★A recent update added support for Lollipop and Marshmallow. Works with multiple users A must for Droid48..
5 ★This program is wonderful for letting you back up your saved programs/directories/libraries. I had a minor question concerning backup methodologies, and the developer emailed me back a detailed response in about 30 minutes. I cannot recommend this developer enough... I hope they develop more apps soon!
1 ★Crashes on opening. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and rebooting and still will not open.
5 ★Highest recommendation Makes coding the droid 48 sane now 5/18/15 crashes after 5.11 update :( nexus 7 2013
2 ★Can not activate it!
5 ★Droid 48 is a great program, and inability to export was one of the few weaknesses. This program fixes that.
5 ★Works perfectly.
