The error from LogCat: E/PackageInstallationReceiver( 244): Remove /data/local/tmp/my.package.apk Fail! W/System.err( 244): java.io.IOException: Error running exec().
I used adb shell to see whats inside this tmp folder. And there was no such apk. So I renamed another, but the error stays which means, that he never really tries to delete this apk, right? The same code runs fine on the emulator and my Nexus One.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am new to Android and creating my first application.I want to create a file in the current directory. Basically I have a file bundled with aplication package as raw resource. I want to make a copy of this file in the current file. The reason to create copy in current directory is that I want my file reading code in native java, portable code.So my query is how can I create a file on current directory? The location current directory is important here as I do not want to make use of device specific hardcoded path or any Android API while reading the file. This is so I want my file reading code portable.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if there's any sort of temporary mute app. I'm oftentimes in meetings or on a phone call on speaker phone in my office, and my cell phone starts making all sorts of notification noises, so I'll turn the sound off. Problem is, I forget to turn the sound back on. I'd love an app that lets me tell it to go into silent mode, but come out in, say, 15 minutes. Does it exist?
