Android Question Starting a apk installation after pressing a button

[Ricardo Bunschoten]

Question:

I probaly can use the ap updating lib but i was wondering if i can not use this lib to start a apk installation ?

I have a apk file in the standard download folder

I have a button

If i press the button i want to start the apk in the download folder to install.
Of course the user has to accept the install.

I think i found it earlier in the past but i can not find it on the forum what the code was.



Thnx in advance

Look at the source of appupdating lib. You´ll find the code which creates the intent which is raised to install the downloaded apk

Yeah i know but then i still need the library ?

Or is the intent not library affected ?

No. You can download the apk by yourself and just use the code to install from the libs source.
No need to add the lib itself (Copy the code-snippet)
