Is it possible to install multiple android applications in one APK file?

Say I have multiple .apk files. Is it possible to combine all these into one .apk开发者_运维百科 file for the convenience of the end user?

You can compile multiple activities into the same apk, and have them show up separately in the home screen launcher. This would make them appear separate to the user, but they'd still formally be part of the same android "application" - they would run under the same user ID and so have access to each other's data, and could only be uninstalled as a group.

You have to include either package or activities into the single project and these activities must be connected with each other in some way as there would be only one main activity defined in manifest file. So, it must be in the sequence in which you want to show. That's it and otherwise i don't think it gets happen through any other way ........... :)
