Android applications, as well as applications for Windows Mobile, Apple iOS and Java platforms, can be installed from a computer or from special Internet sites - application stores. Let's consider two ways to install applications on the Android mobile OS.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way is to download the application from the company store. For smartphones based on the Android operating system, this is the Android Market. Android Market is preinstalled on all Android phones. When you first enter this program through a mobile phone, you will need to register by coming up with a username and password. After that, you will be taken to the categories "Games" and "Programs", which are sorted by type and purpose, as well as by price: paid and free.
Step 2
After choosing a free program, just click “Download” on the smartphone screen, and the application will be downloaded and installed automatically. To download paid games and programs, you will need to enter your credit card information, including a secret code, to pay for the application to developers. The amount of the cost of the application will be debited from your plastic card.
Step 3
The installation of applications from a computer to a phone is somewhat different. Android applications are in *.apk format. Download the executable apk file to any directory on the device's memory card. If the apk file included the so-called "cache" (a folder with files and application structure), then such a folder with a cache must be placed on the memory card in the developer's directory. Usually, the cache contains a description of which folder you need to create on the memory card and where to put it in order for the application to work. After creating a special folder, put the cache in it.
