This class was deprecated in API level 14.
Live folders are no longer supported by Android. These have been replaced by the new AppWidget Collection APIs introduced in HONEYCOMB. These provide all of the features of live folders plus many more. The use of live folders is greatly discouraged because of security issues they introduce -- publishing a live folder requires making all data show for the live folder available to all applications with no permissions protecting it.
Class Overview
A LiveFolder is a special folder whose content is provided by a ContentProvider. To create a live folder, two components are required:
An activity that can respond to the intent action ACTION_CREATE_LIVE_FOLDER. The activity is responsible for creating the live folder.
A ContentProvider to provide the live folder items."
