How to select where app gets installed?

in Android Processing • 1 month ago

Hey, is there any way to select where the app gets installed when you connect it to Processing? Right now it's storing to some place on my S3 and I would much rather have it stored somewhere on the SD card. Preferably automatically to a folder. Thanks in advance!

your app core will always be stored on your android devices "internal storage". If you do regular sketches and do not include large graphics (or videos) with your sketch, then taking into account you have S3 with 2-3GB of internal storage (or whatever it has now), this shouldn't bring you any inconveniences.

However if you go on android into app properties, then you may have option of "move app to SD card". But this usually only is available for apps which are "made movable to sd card", i don't know if processing apps are like that or not.

Whereas if you have super-huge graphics or movies you use in your sketch, you may want NOT to include them with sketch, but rather when your sketch is first run: download them from web and save on sdcard.
