Android 2.2中的APK安装参数installLocation

在Android 2.2中新的特性可以支持类似APP2SD卡上，我们的APK文件可以安装在SD卡上供用户使用，Android123今天就说下目前项目的升级和一些配置。
　　1. 首先让你的程序支持SD卡上安装必须具备设置API Level至少为8，即androidmanifest.xml的中android:minSdkVersion至少为8这样你的APK最终运行时兼容的固件只有2.2了，同时在androidmanifest.xml文件的根节点中必须加入android:installLocation这个属性，类似代码如下:
　　< manifest xmlns:andro
　　android:installLocation="preferExternal"
　　... >
　　复制代码
　　2. android:installLocation的值主要有preferExternal、auto 和internalOnly这三个选项，通常我们设置为preferExternal可以优先推荐应用安装到SD卡上，当然最终用户可以选择为内部的 ROM存储上，如果外部存储已满，Android内部也会安装到内部存储上，auto将会根据存储空间自适应，当然还有一些应用可能会有特殊的目的，他们一般必须安装在内部存储才能可靠运行，设置为internalOnly比较合适，主要体现在：
　　Services 服务
　　Your running Service will be  kill ed and will not be restarted when external storage is remounted. You can, however, register for the ACTION_EXTERNAL_APPLICATIONS_AVAILABLE broadcast Intent, which will notify your application when applications installed on external storage have become available to the system again. At which time, you can restart your Service. Android123提示大家一般实时后台监控类的应用都应该装到内部存储，比较可靠。
　　Alarm Services 闹铃提醒服务
　　Your alarms registered with AlarmManager will be cancelled. You must manually re-register any alarms when external storage is remounted.
　　Input Method Engines 输入法引擎
　　Your IME will be replaced by the default IME. When external storage is remounted, the user can open system settings to enable your IME again.
　　Live Wallpapers 活动壁纸
　　Your running Live Wallpaper will be replaced by the default Live Wallpaper. When external storage is remounted, the user can select your Live Wallpaper

again. 
　　Live Folders 活动文件夹
　　Your Live Folder will be removed from the home screen. When external storage is remounted, the user can add your Live Folder to the home screen again.
　　App Widgets Widget
　　Your App Widget will be removed from the home screen. When external storage is remounted, your App Widget will not be available for the user to select until the system resets the home application (usually not until a system reboot).
　　Account Managers 账户管理
　　Your accounts created with AccountManager will disappear until external storage is remounted.
　　Sync Adapters 同步适配器
　　Your AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter and all  it s sync functionality will not work until external storage is remounted.
　　Device Administrators 设备管理器
　　Your DeviceAdminReceiver and all  it s admin capabilities will be disabled, which can have unforeseeable consequences for the device functionality, which may persist after external storage is remounted.
　　那么哪些应用适合安装在SD卡中呢? Android开发网建议一些占用资源比较大的游戏，比如大于3MB的单个文件，不需要长期驻留内存的应用，不具备提醒和实时监控的应用一般放到SD卡上比较合适，不过目前想让你的应用装到SD卡上，必须设置API Level至少为8以上，同时显示注明android:installLocation。
