I'm writing an app updater for my app. After I make sure I have my apk on the device, this is what I do from within the app I'm trying to update: Intent promptInstall = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); File f = new File(apkLocation); promptInstall.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(f), "application/vnd.android.package-archive"); _context.startActivity(promptInstall); This launches my installer which displays the app permissions and I am able to click "Install".
