I am creating app like play store and will publish all our applications on this application. so our internal employee will get all our application in one place and then they can install or update app from this app. I have created the following code with the help of URL mentioned below. Code running successfully but nothing happening. Am I doing something wrong ?
I call below function on install button click like below
installPackage(getApplicationContext() , app_url);

public static boolean installPackage(final Context context, final String url)
throws IOException {
//Use an async task to run the install package method
AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void> task = new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... voids) {
try {
PackageInstaller packageInstaller = null;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
packageInstaller = context.getPackageManager().getPackageInstaller();
}
PackageInstaller.SessionParams params = null;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
params = new PackageInstaller.SessionParams(
PackageInstaller.SessionParams.MODE_FULL_INSTALL);
}
// set params
int sessionId = 0;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
sessionId = packageInstaller.createSession(params);
}
PackageInstaller.Session session = null;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
session = packageInstaller.openSession(sessionId);
}
OutputStream out = null;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
out = session.openWrite("COSU", 0, -1);
}
//get the input stream from the url
HttpURLConnection apkConn = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(url).openConnection();
InputStream in = apkConn.getInputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[65536];
int c;
while ((c = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, c);
}
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
session.fsync(out);
}
in.close();
out.close();
//you can replace this intent with whatever intent you want to be run when the applicaiton is finished installing
//I assume you have an activity called InstallComplete
Intent intent = new Intent(context, AppActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("info", "somedata"); // for extra data if needed..
Random generator = new Random();
PendingIntent i = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, generator.nextInt(), intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
session.commit(i.getIntentSender());
}
} catch (Exception ex){
Log.e("AppStore","Error when installing application. Error is " + ex.getMessage());
}
return null;

};
task.execute(null,null);
