How to install tpk file from device using APIs

Hi All,

Let say I have build a project in Tizen IDE and copied .tpk file into Tizen Phone (Samsung Z1).

Can I install this tpk file from the device programatically?

Thank you.

Hi,
No such api in 2.3.0 dev-guide for Native. Only install/uninstall api in PackageManager interface is presented for Web applications.
Also fyi:
But in header file package_ manager.h there are APIs : package_manager_request_install &
package_manager_request_uninstall which requires in accordance with description http://tizen.org/privilege/packagemanager.admin privilege.
But this privilege is missed in list of  privileges in manifest file. I am not sure that you can use this API and I did not check possibility.

The installation / uninstallation APIs are very critical ones, so they can be accessible only for the Platform level applications.(for instance, app store application)

And If the tpk is made by you, it's installed only on your registered device.(after device registration process)

 

If you can tell me more details why you need to use the API, I can check more.

Hi,

We have similar requirement for an enterprise app that we are making. Can you please provide me your email id so that I can mail you the details and discuss more on possibilities?
