[android-developers] Re: Stored files on sdcard deleted during uninstall or update

That is a bad idea too?
No, If you don't need store private data there.

Should I use /companyname on sdcard
directly?

In API Level 8 or greater, you could use
getExternalStoragePublicDirectory("companyname") in order to create a
directory which will not be erased when you
uninstall or update your app.
