First, users who root their devices can "see or delete" any files. Second, there is no shared memory construct available in the Android SDK that I can think of. If these two apps are both written by you, you can use android:sharedUserId in the manifest and sign them with the same signing key. Then they will have read/write access to each other's app-local file store (the /data/data/your.package.name/files spot). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
