I want to install an APK file from the Assets folder. I use the method: Copy the Apk file from the Assets folder to the folder of internal storage. Then install the APK file. But I got this error:
`android.os.FileUriExposedException: file:///sdcard/myapk.apk exposed beyond app through
Intent.getData()`
MainActivity.java:
btn2 = findViewById(R.id.btn2);
btn2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
rarPath = "test.apk";
AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
InputStream in = null;
OutputStream out = null;
try {
in = assetManager.open(rarPath);
out = new FileOutputStream("/sdcard/myapk.apk");
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read;
while((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
in.close();
in = null;
out.flush();
out.close();
out = null;
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File("/sdcard/myapk.apk")),
"application/vnd.android.package-archive");
startActivity(intent);
} catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Error !",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();}
}
});
}
If targetSdkVersion is higher than 24, then FileProvider is used to grant access.
Create an xml file(Path: res\xml) provider_paths.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path name="external_files" path="."/>
</paths>
Add a Provider in AndroidManifest.xml
<provider
android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"/>
</provider>
If you are using androidx, the FileProvider path should be:
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
and replace
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(yourPath);
to
Uri uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(MainActivity.this,BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID + ".provider",yourPath);
Edit: While you're including the URI with an Intent make sure to add below line:
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
