How the .apk installation process works on device? Is the .apk file just copied to some place and kind of installer application extracts the application information, register somehow the application to environment, extract also the icon and put it on the application launch screen? Or the .apk content is extracted and files are copied to various folders and the .apk file itself is deleted?
I am asking to understand if there is any possibility on device to browse the .apk file structure and its content and access in read-only mode directly the assets, res folders, AndroidManifest.xml, the dex file and also used libraries (.jar or .so)? The reason I am asking is that I am looking for possibility to read into memory .dex, .jar or .so files like arbitrary binary files (e.g. by using the `File` class) for the purpose of computing a message digest from its content (i.e. using md5 or other hash method)...
