-The value must be set as an integer, such as "100". You can define it however -you want, as long as each successive version has a higher number. For example, -it could be a build number. Or you could translate a version number in "x.y" -format to an integer by encoding the "x" and "y" separately in the lower and -upper 16 bits. Or you could simply increase the number by one each time a new -version is released. -

+ +The following keyword strings are accepted:
+ +Value | +Description | +
---|---|
"{@code auto}" | +Let the system decide the ideal install location. This will usually be based on the user's +saved preference. | +
"{@code internalOnly}" | +Request to be installed only on the internal device storage. If this is set, then +the application will never be installed on the external storage (SD card). If the internal storage +is full, then the application will not install. | +
"{@code preferExternal}" | +Prefer to be installed on external storage (SD card). There is no guarantee that the system +will honor this request. The application might be installed on internal storage if the +external media is unavailable or full, or if the application uses the forward-locking mechanism +(not supported on external storage). | +
When an application is installed on the external storage:
+The user may also request to move an application from the internal storage to the external +storage. However, this will not be allowed if this attribute is set to {@code internalOnly}. +
