I am trying to automatically installl an apk in Android 2.2 . When using an ACTION_VIEW intent on a URI pointing at an .apk the browser will download the apk but will silently let it sit in the notifications bar with no user message to say the download has finished.
In Android 2.1, it actually brings the download status view to fullscreen so this is not an issue, but in 2.2 it does it all in the background so the user knows nothing if they do not check their notifications bar ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE does not help, giving a message that the application does not have any acttivties registered for this intent and the same error if I use ACTION_VIEW setting the type( Intent.setType()) to be the apk mime type. Does anyone have any ideas of how to download and automatically initiate install in Android 2.2 (still asking the user if they wish to install, but just not requiring them to select the apk file to initiate install) Regards, Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
