[android-developers] Re: Can two applications that run in the same process have different STATIC object values?

AndroidCompile wrote:

I created two Android applications that share the same user Id (sharedUserId) as well as the same process. In the first app, on startup, I set a static int variable to 1 (it's default is 0). In the second app, I load (using reflection) the same class from the other app and read the static int variable. I read 0.

Since both applications run on the same process, I would expect them to share the same static values, no? Can anyone tell me what the mechanism underneath does? (are they using, maybe, different apk/dex loaders and that causes this behavior?)

I'm confused by your use of the terms "application" and "process" as different things. Each Android app runs in its own process.

Show us a simple, self-contained, compilable example

http://sscce.org/

that illustrates your issue and lets us duplicate it.

I am trying to make sense of your question but cannot as you have phrased it. "Load (using reflection) the same class from the other app" just doesn't compute.

So SSCCE - let the code say what you haven't made clear.
