I'm having a similar issue, but I'm actually hosting the .apk files in
an Oracle database. Here is a code snippet:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(apkFile), "application/" +
"vnd.android.package-archive");
MainMenuActivity.instance.startActivity(intent);
1. The apk is successfully saved in /sdcard/download/ with the
original filename.
2. When startActivity(intent) is called. A "Replace application"
dialog appears (when I have never once installed the application)
saying "The application you are installing will replace another
application." And the following log is printed:
I/ActivityManager( 52): Starting activity: Intent
{ action=android.intent.action.VIEW data=file:///sdcard/download/
MiniSpaceWarAndroidApplication.apk type=app
lication/vnd.android.package-archive
comp={com.android.packageinstaller/
com.android.packageinstaller.PackageInstallerActivity} }
D/asset ( 313): failed to open Zip archive '/sdcard/download/
MiniSpaceWarAndroidApplication.apk'
3. When the user selects "ok", the InstallAppConfirmation screen comes
up and the following log is printed:
I/ActivityManager( 52): Starting activity: Intent { data=file:///
data/data/com.android.packageinstaller/files/
MiniSpaceWarAndroidApplication.apk comp={com.and
roid.packageinstaller/
com.android.packageinstaller.InstallAppConfirmation} (has extras) }
D/asset ( 313): failed to open Zip archive '/data/data/
com.android.packageinstaller/files/MiniSpaceWarAndroidApplication.apk'
D/asset ( 313): failed to open Zip archive '/data/data/
com.android.packageinstaller/files/MiniSpaceWarAndroidApplication.apk'
I/ActivityManager( 52): Displayed activity
com.android.packageinstaller/.InstallAppConfirmation: 399 ms
4. When the user selects "Install", "Application install unsuccessful"
is displayed and the following log is printed:
I/PackageInstaller( 313): downloaded app uri=file:///data/data/
com.android.packageinstaller/files/MiniSpaceWarAndroidApplication.apk
I/ActivityManager( 52): Starting activity: Intent { data=file:///

Questions:
1. Am I calling the intent with the right action? mime type? It would
appear so.
2. Why does the "Replace application" dialog appear when the
application has never once been installed?
3. Is this method of installing non market apps allowed?
Thanks for all of the help!
