Hi,
(questions are marked with *?*, where ? is a letter).
I took a while to read all posts about people trying to create
installation approaches for android.
There are basic two approaches:
1. Put app+data it in the apk.
2. Put app in the apk and download data from somewhere
Most of my users won't use the market to market their products (my
product is a virtual machine with some libraries - near 2mb): they
will have to create an apk with their data (can achieve several mb),
and do a OFFFLINE installation. For an example, take a Sales Force
application with a few MB of databases - not sqlite.
*a* I was wondering if its possible of:
1. Delete some raw data of the original apk (approach 1)
or
2. Delete the apk from data/app after the installation is done
*without* deleting the data installed (approach 2)
*b* One option i imagine would be to use tar.gz or even zip. Is it
possible to use tar.gz in the device?
*c* The res/raw has a very big limitation: only supports resources
with lower case. This is serious for me because all resources have
mixed-case. Is there anything we can do to bypass this limitation? If
not, i was thinking in a way to rename the files to lowercase, put in
the apk, and after installation rename them back.
*d* Can an application run after the apk is installed? This way i
could trigger the file rename of *c*.
Thanks for feedback.
