I am new to android and i have been searching the web from last two days for this. I found following links too but i am not getting how and where to implement this code to start automatic installation of the apk file after it downloads completely and how to delete the downloaded apk file after installation.

EDIT :

i have written this code in manifest file :

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />
    <!-- <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES"/> -->
    <application android:icon="@drawable/biz_logo"
        android:permission="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS">
        <activity android:name="com.biz.mlm.Main">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <data android:scheme="content" />
                <data android:scheme="file" />
                <data andr开发者_Python百科oid:mimeType="application/vnd.android.package-archive" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

Not possible. As some of those links point out, making an APK that automatically installs itself and deletes the original installer without any further user intervention is called malware.

You can write a program that will download and install arbitrary APKs if the user grants it the relevant permissions, but I'm yet to see a good implementation or documentation for this. Typically you can invoke the default system installer using code like this:

File apkFile = new File({path to APK});
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(apkFile), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
    startActivity(intent);

Have you tried adding the below permission?

<uses-permission
    android:name="android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES" />

Add the above code to your manifest (especially when you are getting security exception).

You can refer to Install apps silently, with granted INSTALL_PACKAGES permission

Hope this works for you.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
File file = new File("/mnt/sdcard/myapkfile.apk");
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
startActivity(intent);

The above code will install the myapkfile.apk. You just need to put this code in the onCreate() of the Activity.

Actually this is possible, use BroadcastReceiver to listen when package is added (PACKAGE_ADDED) in the system. Create BroadcastReceiver class, do the follow code :

public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
    File downLoadApk = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"New.apk");
        if (downLoadApk.exists()) {
            downLoadApk.delete();
        }

}

After Download give the path of apk file and it will install automatically in android

Intent intent1 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE); intent1.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION); intent1.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/download/" +filename)), "application/vnd.android.package-archive"); intent1.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
