Installer for Android

Post by Peacfulrvr » Thu Nov 27, 2014 6:55 pm

I have successfully created an apk for my android tablet and installed it. But my questions is how do I package the apk so it will autorun the install, choose the location to put the icon etc?

Hi Peacfulrvr,
If you email the apk to the user they can install it if they have "Allow installation from unknown sources" selected on their device. Could be a link to a download.
You do have to go through and sign the app

If you have the icon selected from the standalone builder then it will show on the device.

You can also use Google Play to distribute a beta version to people who sign up to your Google Group. Then they can download like a normal app.
