Im having the exact same issues on the emulator. its takes ages just
to download a 30k file.. Im trying to download a apk file thats in our
apache web server and trying to install it using this:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(
Uri.parse("file://"+fileName), "application/
vnd.android.package-archive" );
mContext.startActivity(intent);
But i keep getting a Parse error dialogue box popping up :(
