How to get Application Installation failed event in app

actionview, android, android-install-apk, java

Solution

Launch the Intent with `startActivityForResult`:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(location + "myAPK.apk")),
        "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_RETURN_RESULT, true);
startActivityForResult(intent, MY_CONSTANT);

Then analyse the result

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case ...
    }
}

Problem

I have been using `Action_View` to `install apk` using following code ``` Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE); intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(location + "myAPK.apk")), "application/vnd.android.package-archive"); intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); startActivity(intent); ``` It opens the Install Prompt window in device. Now user can install or cancel the installation process. I am only interested when user click the install package but installation failed due to some reason may be corrupt apk or mismatched signed apk etc. How can i capture the event when installation failed.. Can i get the result from `ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE` I have gone through reading `System Broadcast Messages` but all are used for either Pacakge added or replaced. Any Clue ?
