View 3 RepliesI have published application and now I'm making update to it. I changed applications Data structure and moved all files under /Android/ data/<package_name>/files/ folder.All files that are in that folder will be automatically removed when application is uninstalled.I want those files to be removed when application is uninstalled but not when it's UPDATED. I don't want users to lose all their data after every update. I don't know how to test it (without publishing new release). So will those files be deleted when user updates my application?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI saw a thread where a user removed several apps after rooting the droid x and then successfully did a factory reset. I proceeded to remove the same apps using Titanium Backup. Before doing so, I saved the whole system/apps folder to the sd card in case i wanted to reinstall any later. I figured the reason these apps were installed in the system folder is so users couldn't touch them (assuming they weren't rooted). So just as a test, I tried reinstalling CityID using Root Explorer, and it installed it in the data/app folder (which uses the 8GB of internal memory). 1.) Can we effectively uninstall all the apps from the system folder and then reinstall them manually onto the 8GB of internal memory using root explorer, so we are no longer using our RAM space? 2.) Anyone feel brave enough to try doing this with a factory reset to see what happens? 3.) Another question I've seen asked and not answered is whether 'freezing' an application with Titanium will cause any harm with a factory reset (for something with a known issue like Backup Assistant), or would the app be re-enabled since the factory reset would blow away Titanium?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhile doing normal day-to-day Android development, is it safe to assume that hook methods called by the system will not pass in invalid references (ex.: null), or should I always be double-checking what arguments get passed in?For example, can the method onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem) ever have a null MenuItem reference passed into it?The reason I ask is because I was working on the Notepad 1 tutorial,I started wondering if I should be testing if item is null before making a getItemId() method call on it, or just trust the system to not ever pass me a null?I don't want to make my code slower by doing null checks when I shouldn't be worried about that happening, etc.
