According to the dev guide sharing the same user id also allows two applications to run in the same process:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html#uid * "The name of a Linux user ID that will be shared with other applications. By default, Android assigns each application its own unique user ID. However, if this attribute is set to the same value for two or more applications, they will all share the same ID — provided that they are also signed by the same certificate. Application with the same user ID can access each other's data and, if desired, run in the same process."* Thanks, Justin Anderson MagouyaWare Developer http://sites.google.com/site/magouyaware On Tue, Mar 6, 2012 at 9:40 AM, Chris Stratton <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tuesday, March 6, 2012 12:00:57 AM UTC-5, moktarul anam wrote: >> >> * >> * >> *in android each application runs in separate process. for data sharing >> u look in to service and contentProvider * >> > > The question was probably supposed to be about how to make two apk's share > the same userid, something which is supported (if they have the same > signature) and allows them to share files, etc. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
