[android-developers] Re: Installing APK from Internet?
I have tested installation from Internet but only with the Emulator. Inside a web page, I set a link toward a APK file (for example : a href=/myApplication.apkClick here to install/a). From the web browser in the emulator, when I click on the link, the file is downloaded. Then, when I click on the downloaded file from the download manager of the browser, installation starts (NOTE : a message can invite the user to modify settings to authorize the install of packages not provided from Android Market). However, I have not tested the behaviour on a real device. Does any one know if it is the same behaviour ?

You want to make sure that you use a public reachable URL. The href in your post for example won't work to download the APK. Setup Apache-Tomcat for testing web access and place your apk somewhere in the webapps folder of your Tomcat setup. You should be able to download the apk using the following href ip address of y server:port/folder in webapps/your apk -- Roman Baumgaertner Sr. SW Engineer-OSDC ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.

Also, make sure that you are serving the APK file as the right mime- type... It should be: application/vnd.android.package-archive On Nov 19, 12:00 pm, Roman ( T-Mobile USA) roman.baumgaert...@t- mobile.com wrote: You want to make sure that you use a public reachable URL.
