Can LiveCode Install on Android SD card only?

Post by BarrySumpter » Mon Aug 29, 2011 12:04 am

I've been getting "no space" on Android install.

I keep uninstalling the original app and other things I don't need.

Later, I do plan on installing 'how to' videos that are of some decent size.

Can LiveCode install on Adnroid SD card only?
All my best,

I ran across this on another website, might help you out, or it might not ;) Keep in mind that if the external sd is full or doesn't have enough room it'll use internal. Whether or not LC supports this ... I don't know. Check out your manifest file and try adding something similar near the top.

Code: Select all

<android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <tool-api-level>8</tool-api-level>
   <manifest android:installLocation="preferExternal">
      <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
   </manifest>
</android>
Until LC for Android can create the same type of applications that I can create with Java or Lua, I'll be using Java and Lua. I'd love to use LC, but LC for Android is not ready for prime time.
