For our company internal use, we would like to create create a website for downloading android apps. Anyone has some insight about this? Can a traditional file-serving server work?
Thanks.
When clicking on a Android Apk file on the web it will automaticlly downlaod and ask the user to install it, this will also show any permissions that are required too. So any type of file-serving server will work just fine for this.

I want to build an android web app where i don't need to provide the user with an update of the apk.
I did achieve this by using WebView. But i also want the apk to work offline if there is no internet connectivity after the app has been used atleast once by the user. And on detection of connectivity load the webpages again from the URL provided in the webview.
How can i make a webapp work offline in an android apk??
How do i achieve this?? Please help! Thanks in Advance
You can save all information (text) to database, images, css, js or other files to file storage and populate it on app launch. Then you can have offline mode and use app without internet.
And if you got all information you can use not only webview but all other android items- listview, buttons...

There is an API of OpenDrive. You can use that. They also provide example code, that is in PHP though.
Dropbox, Google Drive, SpiderOak, Ubuntu One and SkyDrive include many other similar options you have in case you want better and more tested API.
[EDIT] Ubuntu One Comes with documentation for Android too https://one.ubuntu.com/developer/ . If that can serve your purpose, go ahead use it.
Im trying to make an app that will basically be able to be downloaded directly from my mobile website. I honestly want to just make something so users can download the app to their phone and when they click on it they will be directed to my mobile website. So basically i just need to design the button and make it so it can be downloaded and installed on mobile phones.
I have searched the net looking for how to do this and nobody specifically explains how to build this. Does anyone have any idea of how i can go about this?
What works for me with Android is email the APK file. The user can open the mail on their phone. In Gmail you will see the install button which of course can be used to install the app.
I use this to distribute my apps outside the market.
I am new to android application development.
I developed some android applications and i install the .apk files in client devices,these are working properly.
But my requirement is ,i have to make the client device ,to support for install the .apk file from my company only.If the client is try to install any outside .apk file,then it has to rise an error.
please help me to go forward.
thank you,
bye.
I guess its only possible, if u make changes in Android OS Source itself, there should be some java file, i guess this one which takes care of installation/uninstallation, blocking non market apps. just make a clear about it. Without which its not possible mostly.
save all the device ID into an xml file and bundle it with your application when application starts just get Device id and compare it with the list you have ,if the id match then start the application or show error
you cannot block other users to block installation but I think they wont be able to use the app or even open the application if you follow above procedure
i am using a augmented reality in my android application.
For this i am using the wikitude api. This api requires the phone to have the wikitude browser installed in our phone. if it is not there is a provision that i can show a message that the apk file is not available on your phone.
When the above message is shown that the wikitude broswer is unavailable on the phone, i want to install the brower on the user's phone using the code in my application.
Right now i am providing a link to the android market where the wikitude browser lies, rather than redirecting him to this url, i want to install the app directly in the phone without the user ever knowing that there is another app being installed in the background from the android market.
is this possible in android?
thank you in advance.
It's actually a bad idea to try to install any kind of software without letting your users know about it. And there are permissions that user must accept, you cannot just overcome this. So the only solution for you is to redirect the user to the market and let him know that he won't be able to use your application without having the other one installed.
