InternalOnly: Install the application on internal storage only. SD-card installation is an optional feature on Android 2.2, is under the control of the developer not the user, and will not affect any applications built prior to Android 2.2.Īpplication developers can set the field android:installLocation in the root manifest element to one of these values: Copy-protected apps and updates to system apps can’t be moved to the SD card, nor can those which are don’t specify that they work on the SD card. The Application Info screen now has either a “move to SD card” or “move to phone” button, but this is often disabled. The sizes listed in Manage Applications only include the space taken by the application on internal storage. The “Manage Applications” screen in the Settings app now has an “On SD Card” tab.

(Note that not all of the contents of an “SD-card-resident” APK are actually on the card the dex files, private data directories, and native shared libraries remain in internal storage.) This should give users room for many more apps, and will also benefit certain categories, like games, that need huge assets. Android 2.2 supports application installation on external storage devices like the SD card.
