[android-developers] Re: Storing pictures in internal storage.
Space on internal storage is very very tight, and users are guaranteed to have an SD card with their G1.

Besides, the Camera application won't even work if there is no SD card inserted. Why? Is there any possibility for users to store the captured pictures in the internal storage? Probably a prompt for storage location before saving would help users know and decide where the captured picture is. Thanks for anyone help on this. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Storing pictures in internal storage.
You're right, I actually meant users are guaranteed to have received an SD card with their G1. Soldering the SD card in the G1 sounds like an elegant way to solve the issue about the lack of internal storage :) JBQ On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 2:50 PM, Mark Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jean-Baptiste Queru wrote: Space on internal storage is very very tight, and users are guaranteed to have an SD card with their G1.

That is not the same as saying there is always an SD card installed in the G1, as SD cards are removable and can be misplaced, used in other equipment, eaten by gerbils, etc. I'm not quibbling with the decision vis a vis the operation of the Camera app, but I also don't want developers thinking the SD card is soldered into the G1 or something. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training on the Ranch! -- Mar 16-20, 2009 http://www.bignerdranch.com/schedule.shtml --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Jean-Baptiste Queru [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Soldering the SD card in the G1 sounds like an elegant way to solve the issue about the lack of internal storage :) Might be right. But, consider a situation that T-Mobile may want to provide some value added software pre-installed in the phone. An extra internal storage in the phone should be a good idea to do that. From this point, there is no reason to prevent users from using the extra internal storage to store pictures or record voice. How do you think?

Yes, this is exactly right to my point. At least, we might have a configuration in the settings page for users to decide where the files go.

[android-developers] Re: Storing pictures in internal storage.
The platform has pretty much defined that any android phone will have an sdcard filesystem available to applications, though it may be temporarily removed. IMHO, if a person gets an android phone with a removable SD card, and removes that card... well they get what they asked for. :) On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 2:50 PM, Mark Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jean-Baptiste Queru wrote: Space on internal storage is very very tight, and users are guaranteed to have an SD card with their G1.
