  • Copy desired file from assets to external dir, and use it like here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/4969421/4271923 – Ped7g Dec 13 '16 at 15:00
  • why not in android assets? – Mohammad Reza Majid Pour Dec 13 '16 at 16:58
  • something like this: loadUrl("file:///android_assets/file.apk"); – Mohammad Reza Majid Pour Dec 13 '16 at 16:59
  • I think you will have to have "content provider" in your application, which the installer will be capable to use together with such url, to read your assets' bytes (it certainly can't read them directly). So it may be possible to create it the way you suggest. Extracting the file to external dir is shortcut to not have to do content provider, as the installer already must know how to handle files from external dir. Maybe this is relevant: http://stackoverflow.com/a/7177103/4271923 (I didn't study it too much) – Ped7g Dec 13 '16 at 17:28
