How to know an application is installed from google play or side-load?

android, google-play, sideloading

Solution

The `PackageManager` class supplies the getInstallerPackageName method that will tell you the package name of whatever installed the package you specify. Side-loaded apps will not contain a value.

EDIT: Note @mttmllns' answer below regarding the Amazon app store.
