[android-beginners] Re: listen for when my app is installed

[Jeffrey Blattman]

ehhh ... they are sample files that the user is allowed to edit. i was trying to keep track of things, like when the user edits an asset file, copy it to the sdcard and ignore the asset file from then on ... and doing something like when the user removes the file, mark it removed by adding a *-removed file to the SD card. all of that was getting confusing. it's much simpler if i can just assume one location for file where i know they can be edited without having to worry about this r/o file mirror in another place. as suggested, i just have some code in onCreate() that copies the assets to the SD card, if they don't exist there already. simple and easy. i was over complicating things by trying to listen for app installation.
