Preserving data during Xamarin.Android debugging - e.g. keeping your SQL and your settings files

Great advice from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16695739/doesnt-create-save-database

To preserve data and cache data between application installs:

In Visual Studio:

  • Click Tools > Options...
  • In the left-hand tree, select Xamarin > Android Settings
  • In the right-hand panel, select [X] Preserve application data/cache on device between deploys.

In Xamarin Studio:

  • Click Tools > Options (Windows) or Xamarin Studio > Preferences (OS X)
  • In the left-hand tree, select Projects > Android
  • In the right-hand panel, select [X] Preserve data/cache between application deploys.

    Doesn't seem to work for me on a Moto G with Xamarin Studio 5.9.7... any ideas?
