How do I install an app into the data/app folder i

问题:

I put my application folder in

packages/apps  // inside AOSP source code

Now my application has following Android.mk in the same folder:

LOCAL_PATH:= $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := optional

LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(call all-java-files-under, src)

LOCAL_PACKAGE_NAME := package_name
LOCAL_CERTIFICATE := platform

include $(BUILD_PACKAGE)

# Use the folloing include to make our test app
include $(call all-makefiles-under,$(LOCAL_PATH))

Now when I build my AOSP project, it also compiles my application and puts the APK file inside:

out/target/product/$MY_PLATFORM/system/app

But I want to put it in:

out/target/product/$MY_PLATFORM/data/app

How do I do this? What make file do I change?

回答1:

I got the solution by changing this thing in Android.mk

LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := tests

Basically, the android AOSP build system doesn't build anything into /data. The idea of the /data partition is that it's user data, and that it will be shipped from the factory empty (and deleted entirely on a device reset). If you want to install something into /data you do it after install using "adb install" or any other mechanism.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
