Replacing Resource files on new BlackBerry app version
- by Jeff
Hello,
I am maintaining an existing BlackBerry application (implemented as a MIDlet). The application contains a number of data files that get bundled with the app as resources. Some of these data files need to be updated for a new version of the app. When the user goes to install a new version of the application (via URL of Jad file), it prompts them with the following message
"Persistent data exists for the application. Would you like to retain this data? "
If the user selects "Yes", it looks like the app continues to use the old resource files.
This is so surprising to me. First of all, am I losing my mind or will an upgrade really not overwrite existing resource files? Is there any way I can force it to?
Thanks,
Jeff
