Re: [android-developers] Re: installation of audio in /mnt/sdcard
I think you are overengineering this. Of course the code will be re-used.
Either by the user re-installing your app, or by the one or two other
people that install it.

Ok, that is a pity, because the app would contain code that will never be
used again.
I know it is probably not much space, but not neat to my opinion.

Re: [android-developers] Re: installation of audio in /mnt/sdcard
In linux for example you can use an install script
that is part of the install package or organize it
in such a way that the distro 'knows' where to place it.
I don't like it that the app itself has to do install tasks
Is there such an approach?

Hello,
as far as I know only audio that is located in /mnt/sdcard is played by
the webview class.
No my question is: "how do I let the installation apk install the in a
folder on /mnt/sdcard?"
Or if people think it is possible to play them from the res or assets
folder : "how do I do that?"
regards,
Dave
