I've managed to crack the screen on my Android tablet and lost the touch screen functionality in the area that is damaged. The tablet is locked in inverted portrait mode and as a result I can't get to the Settings tab to change anything or backup my data in preparation to migrate to a new tablet.
It's a long shot but is there a workaround?

Can you tap the three dots at the top right and then "Connect to Companion"? If so, you can use the free companion app to backup your library (

You can try to connect a mouse via USB or bluetooth

That's exactly where the cracks are, Mike, however I've managed to hook up a mouse. Really tricky to hit the edits but I managed it

That's why making regular backups of your collection is always a good idea
