How can i share apk file in my app (send app itself)

问题

I am trying to use this code to send my application apk file to another device:

public static void sendAppItself(Activity paramActivity) throws IOException {
    PackageManager pm = paramActivity.getPackageManager();
    ApplicationInfo appInfo;
    try {
        appInfo = pm.getApplicationInfo(paramActivity.getPackageName(),
                PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
        Intent sendBt = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        sendBt.setType("*/*");
        sendBt.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
                Uri.parse("file://" + appInfo.publicSourceDir));

        paramActivity.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendBt,
                "Share it using"));
    } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e1) {
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }
}

This code works very well.

But the name of the apk file shared with this code is base.apk

How can I change it?

Copy the file from the source directory to a new directory. Rename the file while copying and share the copied file. Delete the temp file after share is complete.

 private void shareApplication() {
    ApplicationInfo app = getApplicationContext().getApplicationInfo();
    String filePath = app.sourceDir;

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

    // MIME of .apk is "application/vnd.android.package-archive".
    // but Bluetooth does not accept this. Let's use "*/*" instead.
    intent.setType("*/*");

    // Append file and send Intent
    File originalApk = new File(filePath);

    try {
        //Make new directory in new location
        File tempFile = new File(getExternalCacheDir() + "/ExtractedApk");
        //If directory doesn't exists create new
        if (!tempFile.isDirectory())
            if (!tempFile.mkdirs())
                return;
        //Get application's name and convert to lowercase
        tempFile = new File(tempFile.getPath() + "/" + getString(app.labelRes).replace(" ","").toLowerCase() + ".apk");
        //If file doesn't exists create new
        if (!tempFile.exists()) {
            if (!tempFile.createNewFile()) {
                return;
            }
        }
        //Copy file to new location
        InputStream in = new FileInputStream(originalApk);
        OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(tempFile);

        byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
        int len;
        while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
            out.write(buf, 0, len);
        }
        in.close();
        out.close();
        System.out.println("File copied.");
        //Open share dialog
        intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(tempFile));
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share app via"));

    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

This only happens because it is saved by base.apk name. To share it as per your need you have to just copy this file into another directory path and rename it over there. Then use new file to share.

This file path[file:///data/app/com.yourapppackagename/base.apk] in data folder is having only read permissions so you can't rename .apk file over there.

You can use this function, test on api 22 and 27

    private void shareApplication() {
        ApplicationInfo app = getApplicationContext().getApplicationInfo();
        String filePath = app.sourceDir;

        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

        // MIME of .apk is "application/vnd.android.package-archive".
        // but Bluetooth does not accept this. Let's use "*/*" instead.
        intent.setType("*/*");

        // Append file and send Intent
        File originalApk = new File(filePath);

        try {
            //Make new directory in new location=
            File tempFile = new File(getExternalCacheDir() + "/ExtractedApk");
            //If directory doesn't exists create new
            if (!tempFile.isDirectory())
                if (!tempFile.mkdirs())
                    return;
            //Get application's name and convert to lowercase
            tempFile = new File(tempFile.getPath() + "/" + getString(app.labelRes).replace(" ","").toLowerCase() + ".apk");
            //If file doesn't exists create new
            if (!tempFile.exists()) {
                if (!tempFile.createNewFile()) {
                    return;
                }
            }
            //Copy file to new location
            InputStream in = new FileInputStream(originalApk);
            OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(tempFile);

            byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
            int len;
            while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
                out.write(buf, 0, len);
            }
            in.close();
            out.close();
            System.out.println("File copied.");
            //Open share dialog
//          intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(tempFile));
            Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID + ".provider", tempFile);
//          intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(tempFile));
            intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, photoURI);
            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share app via"));

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
