.apk files are just installation packages, you don't run them. At installation, some of the content of the .apk is uncompressed into the /data partition, some meta-data about the package (e.g. permissions, supported intent filters, etc...) are recorded by the system and a few other things.
At the moment, it is not possible to install anything this way to the SD Card. It is something that is slowly being worked on, but not yet available. There are several technical challenges to overcome. You can probably search the forums for many previous discussions about this subject. 2009/4/2 aow <[email protected]> > > Can apk file run on SDcard of G1? > > On 4月2日, 上午1时22分, "Fred Grott(shareme)" <[email protected]> wrote: > > not possible > > > > > > > > Stephen Le wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > How to run one or more apk programmess base on Emulator's SDcard? > > > Thanks! > > > -- > > > Sincerely!- 隐藏被引用文字 - > > > > - 显示引用的文字 - > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
