Auto Installing Apps

Question

I want to send someone link for the APK once he presses on the download link the apk will be downloaded and opened automatically just like it happens in Google Play!

Possible?

Answer 1

You are welcome to send a link to an APK file to somebody. So long as the Web server serves that APK with the correct MIME type (application/vnd.android.package-archive), when the user clicks on the link, it should download the file. The user will then usually need to do something else (e.g., tap on a notification) to kick off the installation, though this may vary by browser implementation.
