I don't know if there's an official way. The following is a bit of a hack but may work some of the time: read /proc/self/maps as text file and look as the path of the entry that is an apk file (though probably not precisely the same name as your pre-install apk has). If exploring manually from the adb shell to try the idea, substitute the pid of your running activity (from 'ps') in place of self, ie /proc/2143/maps BUT, I don't see how you are going to deploy the code to do this on the users device without getting them to update the application (or install an additional one), and if updating the application, can you just set the new version to no longer allow sd card install? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
