How to make an app run on an SD card

[wdegler]

One of the apps I have published is in the internal memory of my Samsung Galaxy S smartphone and cannot be moved to the SD card. How can I modify my app to be movable to the SD card and run there?

On the IDE select: Project -> Can Install To External Storage.

But, you can also add this line to your AndroidManifest using the Manifest editor

SetManifestAttribute("android:installLocation", "auto")

That will allow the user to move the app to/from the SDCARD

Never mind --- I found it almost immediately after posting.

Why would anyone NOT want this ability?

I have tried Install To External Storage checked and unchecked but my app is not moveable. What else would prevent it?

Does your application include a widget or "start at boot" checked?
