I am developing an Android application, and common users have to pay for it. But, I want to offer that application for free to my webpage users. I have a login in that webpage, so I can control what users access to the application. So the question is:

If I put the .apk into the private zone of my webpage, and users access it through the mobile, Do they download the application and can distribute it, or it just get installed on the phone?
And what if they access by PC?
Is there any way to avoid the download of the file, and just install it on the phone?

    I fear installing without downloading is not possible, maybe you shoud think about a second version which needs a key (e.g. created by the device ID and a secret Prefix.

    • User is downloading your apk
    • User get the message he needs to register
    • User send his Device ID to yor Webpage (and have to login before)
    • Your Website create a hashkey with the device ID and a secret password
    • The Application stored the key in the Preferences and will check at startup, if the stored key fit to the Device ID/password Hash.
