The user who first came into contact with the operating system promoted by Google naturally raises the question of how the installation of applications on Android is going. This is due to the fact that this shell program has its own characteristic features of algorithms that must be understood and taken into account. But this is by no means a cause for excitement, since the procedure for installing new applications, provided that you are familiar with the key points, is quick and easy.
It should be noted that the simplest installation of Android applications, especially for novice users, occurs through the Market program, which is standard for all versions of the OS from Google. This "store" contains a large selection of both paid and free programs. In it, you can read the description of the selected program, view its screenshots and, if desired, can be easily installed. To do this, you just need to select the appropriate option. The process of downloading and installing your favorite application is automatic.
If installing the application on Android is not from Market, it is very important to consider one key point. The success of the operation depends on whether the permission to install products from third-party manufacturers is included in the system. In order to check this item, you need to open the "Applications" section located in the device settings. Next, you should find and check the “Unknown sources” parameter, where there should be a mark allowing the
installation of programs that entered the system from outside the “Market”.
So, having checked that the system is ready to install the necessary program, you should get additional software, which will become a loyal assistant when carrying out such procedures in the future.
The easiest step is to download and
install the Apps Installer
application , created and distributed by the developers of the operating system absolutely free.
Installing applications on Android using this program is very simple, because it scans the memory itself and finds all the “.apk” files (this is the name of the executable files in the Android environment). After the list of applications suitable for installation is formed, the user can only select the desired one and confirm their actions. In just a few seconds, you can use your favorite program.
In order to make installing applications on Android easy, you can also use any convenient file manager, which, in addition to this function, will help with other operations carried out with files in the system. Choosing the right manager for documents is complicated by a large number of worthy candidates, however, having spent a little time, the user will easily choose the program suitable for him, based on his tastes and preferences.
Installing applications on Android can be implemented in a less popular way - through the built-in browser. In this case, it is necessary to specify the path to the executable file in the address bar . This method is reliable, but it is neither simple nor convenient, so it is not very suitable for novice users.
