Hello I am trying to build a separate Add-on to my own existing Android Application.

I want this Add-on to be hidden on the android market if the user doesn’t have the main app something like “uses-library”. I tried using “uses-library” with my packagename of project 1 but the compiler simply says cannot install library does not exist! it is installed on the device. Do I have to add a shared library to the first projects manifest aswell? or am I completely off target!

Astro does this kind of thing with its pro, bluetooth and network modules.

Thank you

    I don’t think that functionality is possible.

    The android market does its own filtering to determine which Applications are shown to witch devices / users. As of now I don’t believe that there are any public APIs for interacting with any of this functionality.

    I’ve just double checked on my device without any Astro apps installed I can still see the Bluetooth and networking modules in the market if I search for the Astro Developer. So I think you are misunderstanding how they’ve deployed.
