Sorry, I missed the question about knowing whether the Mime type is
setup, but I don't the answer anyway... It depends on your server, and
how your server admin wants it done, so you'll have to ask them.
You can do it in an .htaccess file if you have access to it, but I think
it's normally better to add it your server startup. Ask your admin. It
really depends on what the admin wants.
Sincerely,
Brad Gies

Thank you Brad. This is very comforting.
I just used the browser on my Nexus one to download the .apk file. It
downloaded fine, but now what?
the app (actually a service, since it's a keyboard) does not show up
under language& keyboard.
How do I use what I have apparently downloaded?
Thanks
How do I assure that I do have the Mime type set up on my server?

Just give your users the link and tell them to go to it with the phone's

is automatic :)

Hello Everyone,
I am baffled by the chaos!
I understand there are two ways to distribute one's apps: 1) through
the Market and 2) directly to the user.
Now that my app is in beta, I would like to give it to a few of my
users to test. But how?
What I read on the web talks about installing SDKs, tweaking with many
options and using an auxiliary app; I deem these to be well beyond the
ability or patience of my users.
Is there an easier way? What's the EASIEST?
It would be best if the user can simply navigate to the link and
download it using their android phone. Is this possible?
My beta is located at:
http://www.exideas.com/ME/android/MessagEase-beta.apk
I am trying to figure out how to instruct my users to download and
install it painlessly. (taking the SD card out for intermediate
installation is not painless and is prohibitively intimidating).
Any help (especially from good people of google) is very appreciated.
FYI: this is a keyboard that you need to invoke, twice, after you
install it. Once through Settings> Languages and Keyboards, and the
second time through tapping and holding on the text field and
selecting. Oh and it's called MessagEase-beta
Thanks for any hint, pointer, or idea that you can send my way
Best,
Saied
