Is there a way to install an Android app without the Internet?

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Mini S, but I don't have 3g or wi-fi internet - I only have internet on my computer. Is there a way to install Android apps without the Internet, via Bluetooth, or using a USB cable? (I have Bluetooth on my computer).

If you can install applications, how can I download applications? The market does not allow downloading them to a computer.

Yes, having an .apk file, you copy it to your phone and open it from there, the "Package Manager" opens and asks you to install the program.

When this is done, your application will be installed.

In addition, it is not possible to download .apk files from the Android Market. Since .apk is a simple zip archive and contains the entire structure of the application (also .class, which makes it vulnerable to decompilation). You can find some APK files via ethernet, but they are distributed there from the developer and not from the market.

You can find some applications and put them on your device’s SD card and install them there, but you need some connection to access the Android Market. My advice: find a place with free Wi-Fi and use it there.
