Thanks for the replies. I like the idea of using email to distribute
the app since it's a simple interface that user's already know how to
navigate. I also found a way to do it programmaticly. The code below
will open the file at location APPNAME and, if successfully opened,
will present the user a dialog box requesting permission to reinstall
the application.
// Attempt to open the file
File app = new File(APPNAME);
if (app.exists()) {
Intent apkIntent = new Intent();
apkIntent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
apkIntent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(app),
"application/vnd.android.package-archive");
startActivity(apkIntent);
}
So I could create an application that checks for a specific filename
when the USB stick is inserted.
