Hi Mark,
Thank you very much for your help.
This has not solved my chooser issue however, as I could only use
ACTION_VIEW due to my minapiversion (8).
I am using this now, which works perfectly from 2.2 - 4.0 (which are the
only ones I've tested).
Apparently I was mistaken about the location of the package installer:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(newFile(path)),
"application/vnd.android.package-archive"
);
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.android.packageinstaller"
, "com.android.packageinstaller.PackageInstallerActivity"));
startActivity(intent);
