This is the way it will behave for 1.0. We deliberately don't allow the application to be involved in installation, so the system can take care of everything and be able to completely clean up after the app is removed. You can do your initialization the first time the user starts the app.
For updating, this is effectively a complete uninstall and then reinstall of the app, just leaving its previous data around. As such, updating is the same as installing. The user needs to be involved in the update process anyway, so we expect them to go through the same steps of updating, and then running the app as desired, and you can re- initialize there. Anyway, as I say this is the way it is for 1.0. We certainly may tweak things in future releases as we see what apps want to do and what makes sense (and as the marketplace app evolves), but have no plans at this point.

I hope this will be addressed in 1.0. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
