I meet an issue when using below method. It works if apk file is put on sdcard. However, if there is no sdcard on phone, app must put apk file at "/data/data/<appname>/xxx", package installer fail to install the apk because file in "/data/data/<appname>/xxx" only has private permission. How do you deal with this issue? Thanks!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I do this kind of incremental update for the PayPal version of my app. I do it in the same way that Brad described. If the app finds a new version on the server, it pops a dialog asking the user to update or postpone it. If they click update, it downloads via an AsyncTask, and installs via the following code: Intent intent = new Intent(); Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file); intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(uri.toString()), "application/vnd.android.package-archive"); startActivity(intent); You could then delete the downloaded apk file on the next run to clean up. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
