I'm trying to install apk programmatically in "Work Profile" mode (BYOD). But there is a problem which I cannot solve : No way to install an apk in android versions 7.0(24) and 7.1(25). A pop-up dialog appear with this message :
Your administrator doesn't allow installation of apps obtained from unknown sources
Voila how I do :
val uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context,authority,File(filePath))
val openFileIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
openFileIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION)
openFileIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)
openFileIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP)
openFileIntent.data = uri
context.startActivity(openFileIntent)
in Manifest :
<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true"
tools:replace="android:authorities">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/file_provider_paths"
tools:replace="android:resource" />
</provider>
And file_provider_paths.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
<external-path
name="external"
path="." />
<external-files-path
name="external_files"
path="." />
<files-path
name="files"
path="." />
</paths>
This is how I found out the solution :
