I _think_ the market has the same issue, I'll try to confirm it tonight, but from what I've heard from users they're experiencing download errors if they don't have a large amount of space free. Again, I'll try to get some more concrete info later tonight :) Thanks for taking a look at this

Hey Dianne (or anyone else reading), I've got a more concrete case nailed down here. Might help us to figure this issue out :) There's still a tiny bit of ambiguity which looks to be stemming from Windows vs Linux sdk's (as far as I can tell), but this process should illustrate the problem.

Okay it just sounds like the browser's (or download manager's) checking on free space may be a little overly aggressive (though perhaps not too much, once you start getting to 15% free or so performance goes down fast). On the one hand, I don't see what can be done for ADC. On the other hand,

Oh sorry. I must not have specified, this is with just an APK, completely outside of the market. We've heard complaints of users having issues through the market, but with a full uninstall of the application, and an install from a downloaded APK (which I imagine should be a fresh install), it

We're also a bit worried about how this would/will be handled in the ADC installer, as I'm sure 22mb is easily above what many community judges will have available... - Dan On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 2:33 AM, Dan Sherman impact...@gmail.com wrote: Oh sorry. I must not have specified, this is

To be honest, I am surprised it requires that much. For something that isn't forward locked, we should need at most double the space (for the original copy of the apk, and the copy placed into /data/apps by the system as it is being installed before the original is deleted). Using more than 3x

I'll see what I can do here to reproduce the issue with more concrete documentation, everything we've got so far is based on user input and what they've told us they've needed to free to get it to install properly. :) Thanks for the response :) - Dan On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 6:07 PM, Dianne

You might start with an app that installs just the framework, then use an internal function to install the graphics and anything that takes up a lot of space. That way the package installer won't hog all the space. -John Coryat What Zip Code? Radar Now!

If your app is forward locked, it can take significantly more space, even after the install is done (unfortunately all of the resources currently have to be installed twice). On Mon, Sep 7, 2009 at 8:13 AM, Dan Sherman impact...@gmail.com wrote: Hey guys, The package installer looks to take

If you select the option when putting your app on market it to copy protect it (which uses forward locking on the device). On Mon, Sep 7, 2009 at 7:21 PM, Dan Sherman impact...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for the responses, Dianne, what do you mean by forward-locked? - Dan On Mon, Sep 7, 2009
