I am new to android. I could install an APK pro-grammatically which is present in the SD card ..It will prompt the user to install the APK. But i need to install without prompting, as we do in Android Market (Google Play), where we click INSTALL and automatically the app gets installed without prompting.
Note:* I found some links on stackoverflow, but all those mechanism will prompt the user.
How to do this? Plz help
There is some information here :
Install apps silently, with granted INSTALL_PACKAGES permission
and here :
How does AppBrain's installation app work?
I don’t think is a really good idea to install something without telling it to the user and/or without showing him the permissions you’re asking for. In the second link, CommonsWare give a really good comment about this idea.
You can take a look on the Android’s Developer Distribution Agreement, article 4.5, if you want to publish your app on the Play Store.
