Question

Is it possible to use the Android Expansion files with a Kindle Fire? Because the Kindle Fire doesn't use Google Play.

EDIT: Amazon allows the .apk to get bigger than 50MB, so no expansion files are needed.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Since expansion files are downloaded from the Google Play Store, I guess the answer is sadly no.

OTHER TIPS

What about just turn on "Allow Installation of Application From Unknown Sources" (Settings => Device) and then simple install .apk via any file manager?

It's just a zip, so sure. What's missing is the downloading. So you can add the obb as an asset in your fire release flavour and change the code that gets the ZipResourceFile to load zip from there.

For faster development in a fire debug flavour, you can always manually copy the file to the normal /andoird/obb location on the fire
