Sometimes, though, the answer you want just doesn't exist, and by asking "What are you really after?", the responder is trying to help you achieve your goal by thinking around the problem. Of course, if you'd prefer to just be told, "You can't. The end.", then so be it.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to install APK programmatically without user prompt
Thanks for your quick answer. I tryied: pm install /sdcard/download_aaa/NotePad.apk Via my phone's terminal, and it returns me: pkg: /sdcard/download_aaa/NotePad.apk [1] Killed pm install /sdcard/download_aaa/NotePad.apk The NotePad.apk app hasn't been installed. Do I miss any options? or something else? My phone is a real one, not a emulated one. It runs Android 2.1-update1. It is not rooted. I use the application named Terminal Emulator (v44) in order to get access to my phone's shell. I was already able to install, execute, and uninstall NotePad.apk using standards ways.
