Hi Dianne, I'm thinking about releasing an extension application with direct access to classes and the SharedPreferences of one that's already been released.
I suspect this is not possible without updating the first application? If the following issue is indeed valid, then it seems this is not possible at all without loss of all app data: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1227 On a related note, if I have the shared user ID / shared process working, how would I access classes of the partner APK? Also, when creating projects in eclipse, I'd have to give eclipse access to classes of the other APK but instruct aapt to not pack them into both APKs. Thank you and greetings to the HQ :-) Christoph On Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 6:49 AM, Dianne Hackborn <hack...@android.com> wrote: > The two .apks must be signed with the same certificate, use > android:sharedUserId in their manifest to be assigned the same uid, and then > can use android:process to specify the same name of the process to run in. > > On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 9:33 PM, mongd <mongdl...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> According to the docs in the Android developer's site, processes can >> be used to reduce overhead by running the code of multiple .apks in >> the same process.
