Install APK from assets or RAW folder
Question
I would like to install an APK from within an Android application. Can anyone give me an example of how to do this?
EDIT:
Also how do I open the install applications from unknown resources preference page so that users can change it?
EDIT:
I actually meant open the screen using code, so I can immediately open the preference page for the user to simply check the box, and press back. Is it possible to check to see if they allow non-market apps?
Can an application request permission enough to do this?
Solution
use an intent with the link of your apk file.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW ,Uri.parse("http://movil.reforma.com/android/Android_Noticias_Reforma.apk"));
startActivity(intent);
install applications from unknown resources preference
go to
Settings > Applications > Unknow sources
