I have an app which includes a app widget but only as a relatively minor portion of the total functionality. A significant minority of my users use it.
I notice that when setting installLocation to "auto", the widgets will disappear as soon as the user moves the app to the SD card. When the app is in internal memory (whatever the value of installLocation set in the Manifest), the widgets function fine. This is somewhat described in the docs: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html The question is, the docs explicitly say apps, such as mine (e.g. using widgets), SHOULD NOT set the installLocation in this way. Is that simply because of the above behaviour (in which case "SHOULD NOT" sounds too strong), or should I take it to imply that there may be changes made further down the line which cause greater problems? As it stands, I can stomach informing users that it's either run-from-sd-card OR show widgets but NOT both. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
