Android : Way To Save Data On SD Card Always Deletes On Re-install?
Jul 30, 2010
I am using the getExternalFilesDir(null) method to save to the SD card. Saving and reading from the SD card is fine. The problem I am having is that every time I edit anything in Eclipse and rerun the app the data on the SD card is deleted. I know that saving to the directory returned by getExternalFilesDir(null) will allow the files there to be deleted when my app is uninstalled but is there a way to turn it off for just app updating? Is this only cause I am doing it from Eclipse and it won't delete the data when the app is updated from the market?

How do I save data to the external SD card? I would like music, pictures and apps to be stores at the SD card (32 GB) and not on the "normal" internal storage. My phone is a Samsund Galaxy Trend.

I've tried re-adding the songs twice now and every time it deletes a BUNCH of the songs. The only place I've noticed this was with Cascada. I have about 40 songs of hers that I tried to add and when I disconnect the phone from my computer and view the Music list, it only has 3, the same 3 every time. I'm putting the files on my SD card in MP3 > Cascada in their separate album folders. It keeps the folders and AlbumArt.jpg files but deletes the songs! Why is it doing this?

The Xperia X2 has been functioning a lot better ever since the last update but there are still issues which keep croppping up. My memory card deletes stuff on it automatically, the phone cannot read it at times and there is no way I can seem to format it either. The manual is of no help and mailing their service centre is pointless as well. So anyone have any solution as to how to format the memory card on the X2,

I am trying to find the best way to save files to the phone. Basically I have an XML file on a web server that I would like to be able to save on the phone. Should I create a specific folder in my project to save to and if so how do I save the file. Or should I make it to where when you click the Save button it checks for an SD card and if there is and SD card create a folder (if one isn't already there) and save the file in the new folder or save it to the phone? If someone could explain the most efficient way of saving files for my app and how to save the file from the web server I would greatly appreciate the insight. Any tutorial links would be awesome.

I'm developing an image editor on android. I have a problem when I have to save the image. If I save the image with a outputstream, I can save the image but my program and android's gallery can't see the new image. If I save the image with MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage, I can see the saved image but the problem it's that this function save a little image called thumbnails which I don't know what to do.

I am getting my replacement DI on Friday to replace my power button issue, I have an app I am unable to find in the market place called videobox where I could download and save you tube videos to watch later or show friends without streaming them again. I would like to save the file from my current phone and put it on my new phone.
I have my phone rooted but I am a windows mobile guy so the Android is a learning curve for me.

I'd like to maintain a hash table in a broadcast receiver. If I understand BroadcastReceiver's life cycle currently it could get killed wiping out my member variables. What would be the ideal strategy for retrieving a hash table from a previous run of onReceive in the BroadcastReceiver?

My app creates a puzzle grid using table layout, tablerows and textviews. I want a user to be able to save this grid to the SD card so that it can be printed or copied or loaded onto another device.
How do you save a view so that when it's printed it will look like it does on the android screen?

I don't know if this is the place or not, but I installed Angry Birds 1.3.5 on my girlfriends phone a while back because it wasn't in the Market for some reason. Now I want to update it, but she doesn't want to lose her saved game file with all of her stuff on there. The new version is in the market now, but if I get that one, I don't know how to install that and keep the saved game file... anyone know how I can solve this issue?

I use gmail. I get attachments. I am trying to find a means to be able to save these attachments directly to SD card. For example,
jpgs/png/gif, not a problem. docs/xls/txt, I can peview, but not save them. problem is if I get a 3g2 file, I cannot preview or save the file. Sometimes I get videos from client's phones and I can nor longer view them remotely. With my winmo phone, I was able to at least detach them to the SD card. Bottom line, is there ANY way, app or otherwise, to just simply have a "download" button?

We've been developing an Android app at work for a few months now and recently acquired Droid Incredibles (API ver. 8) to replace our HTC Dev Phones (API ver. 4).
DANG are these some sweet new toys, but unsurprisingly, they've got a few quirks...
1) It's normal for my user to let the program run for long periods without any input, but he'd still need the display to work the entire time. Can anybody suggest a function call or setting or something that will prevent the Incredible's screen from dimming while my application is running??
2) On the Dev phone, I was able to copy my application's database file (thousands of uses, that) onto the SD card's root directory and fly. I could view the directory on my PC via USB; when I released the SD card from the PC, my application was perfectly happy with it and obediently read from and wrote to the database; and I didn't have to remove the SD card, ever. That doesn't seem to be the case with the newer, better phone, though. My application seems to be reading my start up parameters properly, but all attempts to save data in my database aren't working so well unless I'm just doing something wrong. Can anybody point me to documentation specifically geared toward the Incredible?

Not possible with Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4. The only way is to use Titanium Backup, and better than that, Nandroid Backup. You can as well extract data from a Nandroid backup with Titanium Backup.
I have a Nexus S and I wonder if, with the option Settings -> Accounts and sync -> Background data & Auto-sync & Manage accounts (sync is on) the settings and savegames are automatically stored "on the cloud", let it be my Google account or similar, because I don't have a rooted phone and don't want to do that to preserve warranty.
So, the apps for wich I want to save data are:
Air Penguin
Angry Birds
Angry Birds Rio
Angry Birds Seasons
ArmySniper
Clouds & Sheep
Dolphin Browser HD
eBay
EGGGZ
Flight Director
Jewellust
Jewellust Xmas
Labyrinth
MultiGrain
X Construct

I did a few searches and couldn't find anything, so I decided to be lazy and start a new post on this. Has anyone found an application that will move all applications to the SD card to save phone space and speed everything else up?
