pre-installing apps under /data/app

[Dan Raaka]

Currently with no additional work, non-default apps (like new apks)
will end up in /system/app after the building process. What needs to
be done in order to make sure the apks are pre-installed under /data/
app

Have you tried PRODUCT_COPY_FILES to /data target?

[dan raaka]

with this - what i found was that apk will appear in the userdata.img, however the apps don't appear in the homescreen app listing.

add the below line in your app's Android.mk file

LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS:= sample

then execute command

lunch sdk-user

then build and run, the app will be installed in /data/apps.

hope this helps.

The module tags cannot be changed from user, I am making a device builds as opposed to something for the emulator.

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_MODULE := MyApp
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(LOCAL_MODULE).apk

LOCAL_MODULE_SUFFIX := $(COMMON_ANDROID_PACKAGE_SUFFIX)
LOCAL_MODULE_PATH := $(TARGET_OUT_DATA_APPS)

#################/vendor/acme/products/myapps.mk#################
# Add Apps and Services
PRODUCT_PACKAGES +=  MyApp

#################/vendor/acme/product/mydevice.mk#################
$(call inherit-product, vendor/acme/products/myapps.mk)
$(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/generic.mk)

# Overrides
PRODUCT_BRAND := acme
PRODUCT_NAME := mydevice

# Overrides
PRODUCT_PROPERTY_OVERRIDES += \
         ro.com.google.clientidbase=acme

#add from sdk - because I am building this for emulator
