Please teach me about "android:allowclearuserdata=false" in Android2.2(Froyo).
This is similar to the following discussion. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/b1091f190f7356b7 The "Clear data" button is enabled on the detail view of installed apps which is listed in Settings, even if the apps, which is set false to "android:allowclearuserdata", is located on "System/app". (There is some data, which is used by the apps, are located in /data/ data/"the name of the apps package"/shared_prefs/.) In Android2.1(Eclair), the "Clear data" button is not displayed. In Android2.3(Gingerbread), the button is disabled. In Android2.2(Froyo), is this behavior a bug?, or a specification ? And Is there some method which disable the "Clear data" Button surely? According to the following document, "Clear data" button is enabled when the app is located on "System/app". "http://developer.android.com/reference/android/ R.styleable.html#AndroidManifestApplication_allowClearUserData" The procedure to enable "Clear data" button: - Conditions - The app, which is set false to "android:allowclearuserdata",is located on /System/app. - Some data is located on /data/data/"the name of the app package"/ shared_prefs/. - Procedures 1.
