Android2.2中的APK装配参数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，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:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android
"
android:installLocation
="preferExternal"
... >
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 killed
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 its sync functionality will not work
until external storage is remounted.
Device Administrators
设备管理器
Your
DeviceAdminReceiver and all its 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。
