    <p>The problem is this:</p> <p>I make an internet connection to some url and receive an HttpResponse with an app_example.apk.</p> <p>Then I want to create a file (an .apk) in the sdcard with this data so that this downloaded application can be installed later.</p> <p>How can I convert the HttpResponse to an .apk file?</p> <p>Let's clear some details:</p> <ul> <li>I have to get this apk file through an internet connection to my server</li> <li>I don't want to install this applications I receive on the sdcard</li> <li>All of this has to be done in my code, I cannot use android market</li> </ul> <p>I am currently writing to that file.</p> <p>What I'm doing is converting the HttpResponse to a byte[ ],</p> <p>then that byte[ ] is written to a file (an .apk) using an ObjectOutputStream.</p> <p>Like this:</p> <pre><code> // byte[] appByteArray - already has the internet response converted in bytes try { file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/"+appName+".apk"); file.createNewFile(); FileOutputStream stream = null; stream = new FileOutputStream(file, false); ObjectOutputStream objectOut = new ObjectOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(stream)); objectOut.writeObject(appByteArray); objectOut.close(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } </code></pre> <p>In the end, the file is created and has the received content.</p> <p>When I try to install it, through a VIEW intent (using the default installer) I get a parse error saying that it could not find the AndroidManifest.xml.</p> <p>I think that in some step along the way, the received data is being corrupted.</p> <p>Do you have another method to solve this?</p> <p>Many thanks</p>

    2. COAn apk file is just a zip file with a different extension, so you can pull the file off of the sdcard and try to unzip it and see if it has everything in it that you would expect.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
