Copying a file from SD Card on boot

Richard S

Hi All,

For a system I'm making I require the ability to copy/install an APK from the SD Card (/storage/sdcard0) on boot.

Ideally this copy/install process would be done before boot is completed such that the application can launch immediately (Single app mode device - no Launcher2).

My plan was to do this on initiation of a system service during boot - however this doesn't work as the system service is denied access to the sd card partition.

I've tried also using this from native:     system("cat /sorage/sdcard0/theapp.APK >> /data/app/theapp.APK");   but no luck.

Can anyone advise how to grant my system service access to the  SD Card or perhaps a better method for doing this?

Thanks!
