You can package whatever data you want with your APK (e.g., assets/), and that data cannot be removed except by uninstalling, but that is not modifiable at runtime. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.6 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
