Application can't be moved to SD card

Question

I have put the following in AndroidManifest.xml as described in the article:

<application android:name="MyApp" ... android:installLocation="auto">
    ...
</application>

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="8" />

but the Move to SD card is remaining disabled for my application (other installed applications on my phone can be successfully moved to SD card). What's wrong with it?

Answer 1

Just tried this. You have the line inside the appliction tag. Agreed it doesn't work. The article shows it as part of the manifest tag like:

<manifest
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.nbt.keypad"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0"
    android:installLocation="auto">

Then it works for me.
