I am looking for two examples (have searched all over, found many examples and nothing works).
Inside an activity, I want to be able to install an app >From the Google Play Store >From a url: http://host/path_to/app.apk I tried this: apkurl is defined above as private String apkurl = "http://host/path_to/app.apk";; this following method called from onCreate() ... private void installApp() { try { Intent promptInstall = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW) .setData(Uri.parse(apkurl)) .setType("application/vnd.android.package-archive"); startActivity(promptInstall); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } When the above code is run, I get this exception in the debugger // android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW typ=application/vnd.android.package-arc } I am also looking for a way to install an app via the market URI, I have tried half a dozen examples and nothing works. If there is an Intent that I can run that will install an apk from the market for from a direct url link to an apk, please advise. Spinning my wheels here to get this to work and any help would be appreciated. thanks J.V. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
