I've discovered what may be a bug in the "app2sd" feature of Android 2.2. I haven't been able to find any information about it using the usual searches.
My app will create a home screen shortcut in the usual way. Inside its intent that to be launched is a few extras describing the action to take. One of the extras is a string array. Now apparently, if someone creates a shortcut with my app, then moves the app to the sdcard, Android will strip out the string array intent from the shortcut. Other extras are left intact. This of course renders the shortcut useless to the app since key data is missing. Moving the app back to the phone doesn't restore the missing data. If the app is already on the sdcard and a shortcut is then created, it's OK. But then if the app is moved back to the phone, the string array extra is stripped again. I'm just going to take a wild-ass guess and say that Android does something to an app's shortcuts when it gets moved to and from the sdcard (maybe re-constructing it?) but it's not copying the string array extras. Is there any merit to this guess? Time to file a bug? Doug -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
