#CanInstallToExternalStorage attribute question

[bidibulle]

Hi all,

Just a question about the new attribute "#CanInstallToExternalStorage":
When I need to set FALSE to this attribute?

By default I set TRUE but I'm sure that they are some case where it's not possible. But which one?

On some (old) devices the installation might fail when installing to the external storage. This is the only reason to set it to False.

I have a question about this... If you allow installation to SD storage, do the OTHER destinations become relative?

For example... I reference File.DirInternal for most of my storage, but I've got CanInstallToExternalStorage set to False. If I set it to true, does DirInternal now reference the files in that installation?

If not, how do I determine where the app is, and where to store the associated data files after installation?

Setting CanInstallToExternalStorage True/False means the APP will be installed either on the internal or external memory, it doesn't apply to files created by the app.

Thanks Dude... as a test, I changed that to true and tried to install my app on my crappy tablet, but it neither got installed to the SD card nor was I ever asked if it SHOULD be installed on the SD card.

What am I missing here?

The system won't ask you where to install it.
