Amazon should handle the installation automatically, but from other sources you may have to download and launch the app's Android Package APK file yourself. Unfortunately, not all Android devices will offer this option. You can get around this restriction by rooting your phone, but that's the subject of another How to.

I would prefer not to break away form Android's resource system; e. To accomplish this, I have created a class which extends android. Resources, overriding the three getText methods. The overriding implementations will return resources from the external localization source when possible, and otherwise forward the request to the super.
I then created a ContextWrapper implementation to wrap an Activity's context. The context wrapper's getResources method will return the IntegratedResources object above. And finally we have the "ResourceIntegrator" class, which picks resources out of a specified installed third-party localization APK. A different implementation could be created to pull them from an XML or properties file if desired. My question to stackoverflow is whether the above implementation is a good idea , whether it's using the API properly, and whether its design is future-proof against the unknown versions of Android of tomorrow.
I've not seen anyone doing this before, and can't seem to find anything about solving this problem in the docs or on the web. The underlying requirement of allowing independent third-party translations is fairly critical. It is not currently feasible to internally maintain dozens of translations for this application, and I have no capability to vet user-provided translations for quality.
In the case that this design is a very bad idea and no similar alternative is available, then localization may have to be done without Android's resource-management system altogether. I will be stunned if it is a complete solution, since you cannot force Android to use your custom ContextWrapper. It should work for any place where you manually call getString , getText , and the like, but I do not see how it will work anywhere that Android accesses those resources beyond one of your activities.
There are many places where you cannot call getText and so on yourself, such as:. Moreover, you will have perpetual versioning problems, unless you plan to never add new strings. You have no way of forcing third-party translations to support new strings, and so you will wind up with an app with a mix of translated and non-translated strings. The number of places where Android will access the resources itself is likely to increase, rather than decrease. Then only support languages that you are willing to manage yourself.
One of those freedoms is the ability to install third-party apps from outside of the Google Play Store. However, for whatever reason, you want to install something from somewhere else. We can definitely still help with that. Android 8. You can either navigate to your Download folder using a file browser app or simply begin the install by clicking on the completed download in your mobile browser. Android will ask you to grant permission to either the file browser or your web browser to install the app.
Grant the permission and it should bounce you back to the installation screen. If not, navigate back to your Download folder after granting the permission to try again. The app should safely install. Download the APK you want to install. Navigate to your phone settings menu then to the security settings. Enable the Install from Unknown Sources option.
