I'm looking to create a backup/restore application for Android that uses an applications list to basically record what is installed (as opposed to merely saving the installed applications to the SD card on a device). The scope of this application would basically be to install a list of applications. (Those that work with APT packaging on Debian Linux and derived, note that a restore would be the Android equivalent of 'cat list-of-packages | aptitude install'.)
The idea is this - restoring the installed applications from the SD card does not restore it into the market, so if there are updates, you don't get them without help. (That, and I've had Market forget my list when I did a master reset once.) Second, of course, is that a text list takes up much less room than a bunch of application packages. Here's the rub: I can't find a way to extract that list. In a word: HELP! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
