Hi, all,

I'm writing an app which needs to install another app. I followed the
code in the link below:

http://www.anddev.org/viewtopic.php?p=31112

to do this:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(fileName)), "application/
vnd.android.package-archive");
startActivity(intent);

Firstly, I put the sub apk (installed after the first app installed)
to /sdcard/hello.apk manually and it can be installed. However, my
host app has no right to write to /sdcard/ and then it cannot be done
automatically.

Next, I put the sub apk to the app private folder, /data/data/example/
files/hello.apk and tried the installation again. It fails again
because of the message:

"Unable to open /data/data/example/files/hello.apk, Permission
Denied".

Is it possible that I can get around such permission restriction?
