I am developing a free game (with ads) on the Android Market. Now quite a lot of people are asking me to make a paid version without ads. I have no experience saving multiple versions of a single application.
I already took into account the application on Eclipse: the library project and the (free) application project. Now I'm going to add a new project for the paid version.
My main problem is related to the most efficient and reliable way to import old settings and data from the free version, if it is already installed on a user phone.
- Ideally, I want users to not have to manually export data and settings.
- I think hard coding paths are not reliable.
- I'm too lazy and confused to implement
ContentProvider .
Is there an easy way to request data and settings from another application, given the package name?
Many thanks.
