I have developed an App that talks to a set of web services. Because the App is used in different environments and for different purposes, I would like to provide a way to automatically deploy a configuration alongside the App that contains the settings for the environment (url of the locally hosted web services for example) and App settings (such as a timer period for talking to the web services). It would be tedious to have a UI for this and have to do it on every device post installation.
Things I have tried and why they didn’t meet my requirements: *Raw Resource: If I unzip the apk and change the settings file, it becomes invalid as I need to resign the apk. *Reading straight from the apk with ZipFile/ZipEntry: Device complains upon installation that the config file is not signed. *PreferencesActivity: Requires device side UI; It would be tedious to have a UI for this and have to do it on every device post installation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
