I created an application which creates and stores files to sdcard. Is there a way to bind the folder with application in order to delete all files when the user runs uninstall on android device?

Do we have any application or any easy way to automatically delete files/folders created by an application after uninstalling it? I am looking for a solution like Revo Uninstaller for mac and windows.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt'd be convenient if an application I'm writing stored some files to external storage permanently (so they persist after the application has been exited[destroyed]), but on an uninstall I'd like to do the decent thing and have these files removed to free up the storage.
Is there any way I can have these files removed on an uninstall?
If there isn't (and I'm skeptical), then I'll have to create these files each time. I'm trying to save start-up time and also occupy required space by having them exist permanently.
Note: I need to use external storage, so both internal storage or a DB would be inappropriate.

I can only remove the groups I've added. I don't want Co-workers or Favorites.
I'm wondering where files that are created while running in a simulator are stored. I'm running the 1.5 simulator on Windows Vista. The real reason I want to find the files is because I am downloading an png file and trying to create a bitmap via:
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(iconFile.getAbsolutePath());
However, the bitmap is always null. I am able to create a bitmap successfully if I have the file as a resource.
Where can I check for the Dir/ files/ data created in Internal Memory/SDCard ?

My app creates a temp file with a simple call to:
FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput("MY_TEMP.TXT",Mode);
It works fine because I can write to it and read it normally.
The problem is that when I exit from the app I want to delete this file. I used:
File f = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"),"MY_TEMP.TXT");
f.delete()
But it always returns false and the file is not deleted.
I have tried
File f = new File("MY_TEMP.TXT");
f.delete();
And it does not work either.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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 uploaded about 50 pictures from iPhoto (using a Mac) just to see what they looked like and then later formatted the Droid's SD card, so the pictures were no longer there.
Now, if I mount the Droid via USB and view the file structure there is a folder named /albumthumbs which contains 50 files, presumably for the 50 pictures a had on the SD card.
To me, these file, unless linking to actual photos stored on the SD card, take up extra space in the phone's memory (not worried about the SD card). I wonder if I can safely delete them (just the files...not the folder)?
Hey there, I have a Wildfire and basically Im a gmail user (as in, my email service is primarily provided by google and had been since it launched).
But I hate the gmail app on the wildfire running android, and really like the mail app.
Problem is, Gmail is currently syncd to both and so if Im not at the phone when I recieve a message notification I will recieve two notifications for the same message (one from gmail, one from mail), and then can view it in both apps. in a nutshell, I want to be synced to gmail, using the mail app, and I need to know how to turn off the gmail app, without losing any syncing etc.
any way to delete and uninstall preloaded software like Facebook, friendstream, and peep.

I created an application which consists of several activities. If I start a subactivity named DlgTitleTags from main activity everything goes well.
Another case is when I start a subactivity DlgLibrary and then from DlgLibrary DlgTitleTags the execution fails on line:

In the first example this line executes without errors so I'm wondering what could be wrong here.
