Android™ Runtime Development

Hey guys. I have developed an alternative to Blackberry App World, with converted Android apps available in BAR format. I have the downloading of the app to the main download folder on the playbook/z10 phones. It does not install though. Does anyone have any idea on how we can use our app store to automatically install the apps?

Our app store was written for Android and is converted to a BAR file for the playbook/z10, so thought this would be an appropriate forum.

You can check our app out, if you know how to sideload in BAR files - http://apps.goodereader.com/playbook/playbook-android-apps/?did=348

I don't completely understand what you are trying to say. Does your application doesn't want to install? Or do you mean the applications (in the form of a BAR) that are downloaded via your app that do not want to install?

On Blackberry 10 it is not possible to install applications from BAR directly on the device, as far as I know. You always need a computer (using DDPB, BB Graphical Aid or IDE) to install applications.

Hey, thanks for replying. I need to employ a system that would automatically install BAR files with my app. My app installs just fine using the chrome plugin or DDPB, but once itrs installed on a playbook or z10/q10 i need it to automatically install BAR files, similar to the way Blackberry World automatically installs apps. You figure if Blackberry can do it with their own official app client, then the code infastructure exists for 3rd parties to do the same thing.

I think that it is probably possible. But because you are using the Android emulator, it could be that you are fenced from some of the real possibilities of the devices.. Maybe you should consider using a Native application, I guess that this will give you more options to make your app work.

On a side note, I hope you get it working, I would love to use your application if it does. If you have found a way to make it work, let me know :-)
