It is unlikely that this will get done. Unfortunately, it looks like Android Q's new security upgrades will prevent Droid48 Reader from reading other app's data. This means that it will likely stop working for Droid48 and emu48. In the next few weeks, I'll taking a close look to see if there is anything that can be done but the early betas of the new Android Q didn't look promising.

On the upside, the biggest reason that Droid48 Reader was created, being able to save data outside the emulator, is already built into emu48.

Wait for news in the upcoming weeks to see if this confirmed.

Turns out adding Emu48 support was easier than was expected.
