[android-developers] Re: android:allowClearUserData=false
Thanks for the reply. I wanted to do something similar. I wanted to save some information on the phone, but when the user selects Clear Data, the information needs to persist. I dont mind the information getting deleted if the user uninstalls the application. I tried saving the information in a file in the internal memory (data/ data/com.test/files/FILENAME using openFileOutput(FILENAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE)) but still the file gets deleted on pressing Clear Data. I do not want to save the file in the SD card. Is there any way I can do that. Any help would be appreciated.

Apparently that was only ever available for system applications, and is also broken in some versions. This would be consistent with the android design goal of not letting 3rd party apps make semi-permanent changes to the device. Even if it did work, removing and re-installing the application would get around it.

You can't do this, and it is very much a feature that you can't do this. On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 10:41 AM, Priyank priyankvma...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for the reply.
