here the sum up of my code http://pastebin.com/YcPWNYit
my problem only occurs when my application gets installed over my application again(aka when I run it from eclipse) and this only occurs when the value of ENABLED_KEY is left true so this fc happens when my the value is changed from true to false after I install my app again... this does not occur the other way around(false to true) and it also does not occur if I manually uninstall my app from the emulator and then install the newer version because then the preferences actually get deleted where when I install a different version on top of the old the preferences do not change... I have a feeling that mReceiver is problem but I can't detect if the app is being removed/new version getting installed so how would I possibly destroy it? and I might be taking the wrong approach at this... any help is appreciated. thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
