I have developed a World Time App (paid app) for Google TV and wanted to install it on my Google TV. How do i install it on my TV without paying for it.
If you want to install it through the market without paying for it, I don't know of a way to do that.
Otherwise, you can use adb to connect and install your apk using the instructions here: https://developers.google.com/tv/android/docs/gtv_debug

I have uploaded an Android app in Google Play and the 1st version went live. On the same day I realized and fixed 1 bug and uploaded the new version but it was rejected by Google saying it violates the gambling policy. Then I read all the gambling policies and I found it hard to accomplish as it requires a licences for some countries...
My question is, Can I host the Android app apk on my own website from where the users can download and install it manually? If yes then is there any way the user can directly install the app from my website just like google play store?
Will I still be able to earn from Google AdMob (mediation), reward videos, etc ?
Thanking you
You can host an Android app on your own website, Android is an open ecosystem. There are also other App stores besides Google Play
Any APK file can be downloaded from a website and an Android phone will install it
Most Android phones will require the user to "Enable unknown sources" before they allow the install.
For AdMob see this SO question
I need to do following thing from my android application please give me idea to make it possible.

Finally what i have found to make install android app from developer site is below.
Developer distribution App Intent .
But in that code user have to accept install and term button to start real download Application and i don't want to
Thanks for any help.
If I understand your question, what you want is your app to be a replacement of the google play app in that it can download directly from google play store and without asking the user for permission. This is not possible. It's a security feature that android has to ask the phone user whether or not it's okay to download a certain app. Without this it would be possible to install malicious apps without the user knowing.
I am an Android OS developer. I have a tablet in development that I'm in the process porting Android ICS to. Now I want to install Android Market or Google Play. This system is under development, not distributed and not licenses / approved by Google yet.
I see plenty of Q & A about how to install Android Market on an emulator. I'm pretty sure I can use that same procedure to install Android Market on my development system. But that's not my question exactly.
I have a hunch, and I can see others have speculated as much, that installing (side-loading) Android Market without Google's permission is not legal. My question is, as a developer, how do I apply for or obtain or get approval from Google to download and install Android Market or Google Play on my development system? Believe me, I've searched around the Android development website aplenty.
installing (side-loading) Android Market without Google's permission is not legal
Correct.
how do I apply for or obtain or get approval from Google to download and install Android Market or Google Play on my development system?
Quoting the documentation: "Google Play is only licensed to handset manufacturers shipping devices. For questions about specific cases, contact android-partnerships#google.com".
I am also developing a tablet, got the same form but no response from Google, I'm interested in hearing if you got any.
What is happening right now, I decided to implement Slide Me as the end user app store, it is possible to brand it with your name and icon.
It works well on my test devices so I recommend it if you're just looking for a market application, give it a try.
Though, there are a whole lot more markets (and cheaper one too) out there.
I have some functionality for rating my app and for viewing/installing other apps I have on the marketplace that I need to test in the android avd emulator. To do this I need to have the latest google play apk installed but I am unsure of the official location to download this from so I can install it on to the emulator.
Lot's of the sources I have found are for file sharing sites and out of date apks and I would be grateful for a link to the official apk. For some reason best known to themselves I don;t seem to be ble to get it from the main google play site. this is most confusing!
Or is there another way to test market app functionality on an emulator?
what you are looking for is: "market://details?id=" + APP_PNAME
I strongly recommend using the android code snippet app rater
good luck
First, this is not a programming question. Second, there is no such thing as an 'official download location'. The Play Store application is only available on licensed devices. Even if you pulled the apk from your device, it won't run on the emulator as is, since it requires other components as well. So, test on a real device if you need access to the Market/Play store.
I have a Google TV developer's box from Google and I'm trying to install an Android app on the Google TV box. How do I do this?
I'm developing using Eclipse and Java.
At the moment according to the FAQS of Google TV,
Question: Can I install Android applications from a URL? (since there is no Android
Market)
Answer: Application downloads are not officially supported. Only
pre-installed applications are
available at present.
So you cannot install your applications or download other applications from the Market at the moment. You can only use the already installed applications in Google TV.
There are many ways of doing it:
Copy your applications to dropbox, open them on your TV and install.
Copy your apps on the USB stick, install
Go to Market, some apps are available
I have done all of the above
If you received your device through one of the developer offers that Google had in 2010, its just a regular retail box. At this time there is no OFFICIAL way of getting your own app on a Google TV device. The goal was to test your website with the device so it looks good. However given that there is a session at Google IO 2011 with the title "Building Android Apps for Google TV" Google IO 2011 Sessions I would think that some form of Android SDK support is coming.
Not true!
YOu can do it!
Search for your Android MArket app on your phone, pull it and copy over your system
then,
adb connect ip:port,
adb install your app,
that's all,
I did it...
