Adding android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES to the manifest results in
the following:
10-05 18:50:45.631: WARN/PackageManager(57): Not granting permission
android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES to package com.test
(protectionLevel=2 flags=0x44)
Subsequently tried the following without any luck...
try {
Intent myIntent = new Intent(
Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_INSTALL,
Uri.parse("file://" +
apkFile.getAbsolutePath().toString());
startActivity(myIntent);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(tag, e.getMessage();
}
Results in the following:
10-05 18:50:49.440: ERROR/APKInstaller(316): No Activity found to
handle Intent { action=android.intent.action.PACKAGE_INSTALL
data=file:///c:/test.apk }
I'm assuming the PackageManager and/or IPackageInstallObserver must
play a role somewhere in this process.
What exactly do you mean by "launch an intent to view it?"
Thx to anyone that can help clear this up.
