Android 10 App Installer with KIO4Install not working

[juananton1991 (Juan Antonio)]

I have updated the extension, I have not tested it on all versions, but I think it should work on Android, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. On Android 10 it doesn’t work.

It is com.KIO4_Install_v3.aix

@gleminem1 @vardandevelopersassociati

Are you using your own package name as the error message in the image looks familiar.

If so try with default package name

It’s working on

Yes, I confirm.

@juananton1991 This issue is because apps on newer Android versions must use a File Provider in AndroidManifest.xml.

By this error, I’m assuming you’re using intent.setDataAndType(FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, Uri.fromFile(file).getAuthority(), file), "application/vnd.android.package-archive") which I just tried and got the same exact error.

I recommend to switch over to the PackageInstaller since it will work for Android 5+. Although I have tried this already, I didn’t get errors, but the APK didn’t install.

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

Maybe some would like to test this APK to install an APK (testAPK.apk , 3MB / AI2) (which is in the assets or can be downloaded from Google Drive and is copied into the ASD).
(ASD = app-specific directory)
installAPK.apk (7.9 MB)

So check this especially on Android 9 and 10.

Try adding GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION flag to intent.

Yess, It worked Finally
Install Sucessful Both in assets and downloaded.
Problem in deleting file. Says file dosen’t exist.

Checked in Android 10

@themaayur

Problem in deleting file. Says file dosen’t exist.

Because it tries to delete all files (also from the folder /Download). But if you haven’t downloaded from GDrive, this file doesn’t exist. So no problem. Its only to simplify testing.

It worked in android 10…

[Vivekjain]

Sorry I do not know but can I ask that this extension can install app in background ?

Download an APK to App-Specific Directory (ASD) and install it without permissions

With this extension you can download an APK to the ASD (app-specific directory) and install it. This doesn’t require WRITE / READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions. However, you can also install an APK from another directory (e.g. the /Download folder) (with READ permissions). This should work on all Android versions, especially on Android 9, 10, 11. Update v3 (Oct 25, 2020): de.bodymindpower.InstallAPK.aix (9.1 KB)

Blocks version 3
