Pre-install and deliver app on sd card

Question

I need to deliver an app on sd card, and need to make it start automatically after insertion of the card.

What I want to ask is, is this possible to achieve this for the operating systems android, symbian, blackberry and j2me supported phones?

I know that symbian supports pre-installment but how to do auto-start? And on android before version 2.2 non-sd card apps don't supported as i know.

Answer 1

I do not believe you can do this (atleast with my experience with android) without asking for the user's permission. Instead of automatically installing the app, you can start an intent which then asks the user to accept the permissions to install the app. You may also want to look at putting the app on the market (unless it's private) it's only $25 and you can upload an unlimited amount of apps for the rest of your life.

On Android, that is not possible without custom firmware.

Also, bear in mind that some of those devices do not have SD card slots of any form.
