Hi Anil, I just released JVending 2.0: http://code.google.com/p/jvending/. It supports delivery of Java ME and I added support for stocking and delivery of android applications over OMA OTA, which is similar to the JNLP (Web Start) delivery. I'm delivering a client next week that hooks into JV and

This stuff is still under development, but I believe right now it is downloaded into a content provider that anyone can access. In the future, this will be downloaded to a more sophisticated download manager, that maintains per-item permissions so only the application requesting a download can ac

Thanks for your reply, Dianne! I'll register my Activity like you specified. But how will I be able to access the downloaded file. Will it be downloaded to a temp location and have global read permission set on it? How will the file's path be passed to me using the Intent sent by the browser? M
