Eclipse安装APK后自动删除APK

Question

my system will open the installation if user click on the button

intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("file://sdcard/abc.apk"), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");

i am looking for the solution which the system will auto delete the apk file once the installation is done.

Answer 1

You could listen from the intent broadcast ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED. Here is a list of all intent broadcasts . Do note that there are different broadcasts if the package is installed, or if it updates another package. I would guess that there are information in the broadcast as to which package that was installed, so you don't accidentally delete the apk when another app is installed :)
