.tpk supported or not?

Question

Hi,

I have tried reading from local storage using the Samples:
http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=d2d263a280164a039ef0a02e26ee0501
where it says: "With the ArcGIS for Android SDK local data can be a compact cache or tile package (.TPK)"

The sample works great for the provided compact cache example, but it is also supposed to work for .tpk files, right? In the source-code comments, however, it says the following:
"(Tile Packages or .tpk's are not currently supported)." This was written sometime in 2012, probably june.

I have tried reading a .tpk-file I have generated in ArcMap (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//00170000017w000000) but it does not display.

So: Is reading .tpk-files from local storage currently supported or not? If so, could you give me a path-example? (Simply giving the path to the file on the SD does not seem to work).

Ok, I figured my problem out.  I didn't realize when testing on the mobile device you had to uninstall the previous .apk file.  I was just replacing the file and running the app again.  Therefore, any program changes I was making wasn't being updated on the Android.  Once I uninstalled the app and re-installed the new code, the maps were there.  My code was working after all.

thanx and hope this may help anyone,

I'm having a tough time with this too. Here's what I'm doing. Can someone advise if this is correct? [Bindable] private var f:File = new File(); private function init():void { f.nativePath = "/sdcard/ArcGISApp/MapData/MobileParcelsMap.tpk"; } Am I trying to make this too simple? Eddie

Found out I wasn't using the latest version of the api, got it working when I updated to 10,1,1
