[android-developers] How to install an app programaticaly on Android
I was hoping to write a service on Android that would list all applications installed as per previous post. Then, It would decide to update automatically some apps and install others. Is there any class on the SDK that has this kind of functionality? That is, can I call some API or code to install an application on the phone? Can I force some updates as well?

Re: [android-developers] Re: SMS database access
What does allow for access to SMS regardless? Would that require program the underlining SDK instead of doing it via the Java API?

[android-developers] How to get the version of installed apps
Hello all,
How can I get the version information of the current installed apps on my
phone.
If I do :
PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
List packs = packageManager.getInstalledPackages(0);
int size = packs.size();
apps += "\nTotal apps = "+ size+"\n";
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
PackageInfo p = packs.get(i);
apps += "\nApp name: " +
p.applicationInfo.loadLabel(packageManager).toString();
apps += "\nPackage name: " + p.packageName;
apps += "\nVersion name: " + p.versionName;
apps += "\n";
}
tv.setText("Installed apps:\n"+apps);
I get all the apps currently installed.
I wasn't able to figure out how to extract their correspondent version
information.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
