[android-developers] Installing apk package from my application

2011-05-31 Thread maha rm 
Hi,

 I'm trying to write an application which will install the apk from a
specified location. The code I've added is

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

File apkFile = new File(/data/install_flashplayer.apk);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(apkFile),
application/vnd.android.package-archive);
int reqCode = 0;
startActivityForResult(intent,reqCode);
Log.v(REsult,reqCode = +reqCode);

}

This is installing the install_flashplayer.apk from the location /data.
The problem i'm facing is that after the package is installed, it shows a
messagebox with the button Done. I'm expecting the behaviour of pressing
Done button should close the application itself rather than only closing the
messagebox. Right now, It closes the message box and package installer and
shows my application.

Can anyone help me how to get notified that Done button is pressed and
how to close the application once it is clicked?

Thanks,
Maha

You probably can't get notified of that button click, but there is a
broadcast when a package is installed ...

Note that installing from the SD card is fundamentally dangerous because
another app can replace that file with their own and cause the user to
install something different than you intend.
