I am trying to silently install apk into the system. My app is located in /system/app and successfully granted permission "android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES" However I can't find anywhere how to use this permission. I tried to copy files to /data/app and had no success. Also I tried using this code <pre><code> Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setDataAndType( Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/app.apk"), "application/vnd.android.package-archive"); startActivity(intent); </code></pre> But this code opens standard installation dialog. How can I install app silently without root with granted <code>android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES</code>? PS I am writing an app that will install many apks from folder into the system on the first start (replace Setup Wizard). I need it to make firmware lighter. If you think that I am writing a virus: All programs are installed into /data/app. Permission Install_packages can only be granted to system-level programs located in /system/app or signed with the system key. So virus can't get there. As said <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/android-porting@googlegroups.com/msg06281.html" rel="noreferrer">http://www.mail-archive.com/android-porting@googlegroups.com/msg06281.html</a> apps CAN be silent installed if they have install_packages permission. Moreover you don't need Install_packages permission to install packages not silently. Plus <a href="http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/silent-installer_wgqi.html" rel="noreferrer">http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/silent-installer_wgqi.html</a>

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.
