I am running an application (CoPilot) on my HTC Magic that has installed 197Mb on my SD card. However its download size from the Market is only 6.92Mb. The rest of the data was post installed (maps) that I downloaded via WiFi using the phone. There is also an option to download the maps to your PC and copy them to the SD card.
The point I am trying to make here is, I probably would not download a large (10s of Mb) applcation from the Market because the apk file has to go into the internal memory and this is a precious resource to me. However putting large amounts of data on the SD card later is no problem. With your example of installing from an SD card, can you not leave most of the data on the SD card and just install the application code on the phone? -- RichardC On Oct 9, 8:11 pm, rollbak <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > Which is the max application size that can be installed in Android? > > I have made several tests in different Android handsets (Hero, G1, > Motorola Motus, Samsung Behold 2), and using adb i was able of > installing up to 100mb application in Hero and Motus, but trying to > install by SD card or OTA i was limited to a maximum of 50mb (even if > the devices have 200mb of free space). > > Does anyone know which are the restrictions here? > > Thanks, > > Lucas --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
