Hi,

I have extracted from the following link the next text section
concerning Application process.

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/application-element.html

"By setting this attribute to a process name that's shared with
another application, you can arrange for components of both
applications to run in the same process — but only if the two
applications also share a user ID and be signed with the same
certificate. .............. If the process name begins with a
lowercase character, a global process of that name is created. A
global process can be shared with other applications, reducing
resource usage. "

Could someone clarify the definition of a global process, because the
above description may be misleading.

Is it simply a process shared between applications (assuming
applications also share a user ID and be signed with the same
certificate) or is it an other mechanism independent of the shared
user ID ?

thks
Guillaume
