NJDude, i know about this manual install\uninstall by Intents.
Question is for background installation\uninstallation APKs by the launcher that is a custom Market.
You will need to call private Android APIs to install / uninstall the apps. I'm afraid that I'm not familiar with these APIs nor they are probably not documented anywhere.
Seems, there some people posted that used, and there is link to a working Eclipse code.
Do you mean now these functions cannot be tried anywhow with help of Reflection ?
I was getting errors loading my first key and after many tries I believe there are several keys now. In fact I am not really sure how I got this far.
But my problem now is below:
Installation will fail if the signing key is different than the previous used key.
In that case you will need to manually uninstall the existing application.
Completed successfully.
I have two questions: 1) How do I manually uninstall the application?
Or
As the application is quite small - just recode (cut and paste) a new application with different package and application labels and start a new signing process?
