Android Question How to execute apk file?

[PrayudiPramono]

I want to download a file (apk) from my server, and then execute it right away.
I can download it using "download service" example that you share, but i can't figure out how to execute the file. Thank you

See "similar threads" above your post It's always good to use the search function...

Hi PrayudiPramono, did you find the solution? I've looked at the "simimlar threads" above and cannot see one which answers your question, and have searched the forums.
TIA

In my experience every phone or tablet is a little different. Currently this works on my devices:
1. download the apk.
2. using your devices file manager app, navigate to the download folder. You should see the apk you just downloaded.
3. tap on it and an option to open it or install it should come up. (you will have to allow third party apps to be installed in your device's settings menu)

Hi dagnabitboy. I know how to do that, and that works, but I want to do is run it via some code.
