install / uninstall APKs programmatically (PackageManager vs Intents)

Closed 10 years ago.
Is it possible to install / uninstall applications on device by android code without user interaction ?
yeah it's possible You need to use Process and Runtime for execute adb command in Android grammatically.Suppose you wanna install an apk then you need to run ./adb install ~/Desktop/apkname.Similarly you need to use ./adb install command for this.
Process process=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("./adb install 'complete path of your apk file'");
Hope this will work Good luck.

I have one apk file which is stored internally on my samsung phone. I want to install that apk using cmd. I mean is there any command or any code available for that??? So, I can install that app via usb or is there any code to install app or is there any soure code to update my app.
Any help would be appreciated.
I tried following command which couldn't worked for me...
adb install example.apk
adb install -s example.apk
Before you can run your app on a device, you must enable USB debugging on your device. You can find the option under Settings > Developer options.
Once your device is set up and connected via USB, you can install your app using the adb tool:
adb -d install path/to/your_app.apk

How can I use adb to uninstall all 3rd party user apps?
(2 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I am trying to write a script to clean up android devices before some automated tasks. So I'm looking for some way to remove all the non-system apps from the phone, using adb, as I continuously find that people love installing heavy games on those devices. (These are our work devices) :D I couldn't find anything useful till now, as most questions I found were about deleting the system apps.
I am able to list all the installed apps using adb
adb -s <device id> shell pm list packages -f | cut -d '=' -f 2
But that gives all the apps that are installed, including some of these:
com.android.backupconfirm
com.android.packageinstaller
com.android.providers.userdictionary
com.android.providers.downloads.ui
com.android.externalstorage
com.google.android.nfcprovision
com.google.android.apps.docs.editors.docs
com.google.android.apps.cloudprint
I'm afraid, if I accidentally uninstall them, the phone will become useless.
Can someone suggest a way to delete only the applications installed by others ?
for pkg in $(adb shell pm list packages -3 | cut -d: -f2); do
adb uninstall $pkg
done

remove or update Google play service on emulator

good morning
i would like to delete the google play services package from my android emulator because i tried to update it by a new version.
When i taped this command in my terminal:
./adb install com.google.android.gms.apk
I receive this message :"install failed already exist "
I tried to unistall this package by this command:
./adb -e uninstall com.google.android.gms
It show me "failure".
My version is 3.1.36 and i would like to install 4 version to run my android map app
regards.....
AFAIK You will not be able to uninstall play services as its only can be uninstalled by the administrator level. You can not uninstall it on your own as it requires root level access..
Try adb install -r com.google.android.gms.apk

Obtain root access via su on the Android emulator
Hi,
I'm working on an Android App in Eclipse with the Andoid Eclipse Plug-In. I'm saving files on the virtual devise and would like to have a look at them in the Terminal Emulator (Dev Tools => Terminal Emulator). However I can't access certain directories and am refused a sudo access. How could I get a sudo access?
I'm running an Android 2.3 Emulator
Thanks for your help/hint!
Maybe not a direct answer, but you do have access to root via adb shell.
The su in the emulator is uid locked to root, so only root can run it (which you get automatically via adb shell)
