Yes I meant SharedUserId - I typed in a hurry ;) And yes of course - android:sharedUserId="string" it is string but I guess I glanced at the <manifest> spec.a bit too much.
I agree with you Dianne, such a method would certainly cause more trouble if not handled properly but I tried and I cannot avoid it. I do need separate imported code to share the same space. I will exercise extreme caution and if I see that this is causing more harm than good I will bail out and seek alternative solutions - would having the processes from each apk write/ read from the public SDcard space may be a better option? Not sure but at least for testing purposes I will try it. The requirement also specifies that the two apks should be signed with the same key. But unless these are apks to be released I don't think this is necessary right - particularly if they are ran on emulators.
