i thought of another way i could implement the antivirus since the one i listed before seems almost impossible. well if i could scan the apk just before they're installed then i guess it would do as well. but how do i test it with the emulator? i dont have a device with me. is it possible to load 2 apk at once? because one would be for my antivirus and the other would be for the apk thats about to be scanned and installed.
