Install / Unistall from shell command in Android

Question

I want to implement a silent installer-from-apk-file and unistaller-package in Android. The topic has largely been discussed on SO and elsewhere but I can\'t apply any for s

Answer 1

Well you can do this also with the PackageManager directly (requires root access):

• Create an app with a platform-sdk which has the interfaces publicly (create or download it, and configure eclipse)
• In the app directly call the hidden API functions which allow silent install/remove.
• Install the APK on your device as a system app by copying it to /system/app (root needed)
