When I update my app, does ApplicationInfo.uid stays the same. PackageManager.getNameForUid (int uid) says "Retrieve the official name associated with a user id. This name is guaranteed to never change, though it is possibly for the underlying user id to be changed. That is, if you are storing information about user ids in persistent storage, you should use the string returned by this function instead of the raw user-id."
>From the above explanation it seems it can change. in developers site at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/security.html it says "At install time, Android gives each package a distinct Linux user ID. The identity remains constant for the duration of the package's life on that device." Are thess two documents referring the same user id? If yes why they are contradicting. What is the correct behavior. Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
