How to send .apk file inside application using bluetooth

Question

Is there a way to send the .apk file using bluetooth inside the application? (for example, we launch the application and then send the .apk file using the sharing icon inside the application)

Answer 1

Assuming you want to submit your own .apk application, it's pretty simple:

 // Get current ApplicationInfo to find .apk path ApplicationInfo app = getApplicationContext().getApplicationInfo(); String filePath = app.sourceDir; Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); // MIME of .apk is "application/vnd.android.package-archive". // but Bluetooth does not accept this. Let use "*/*" instead. intent.setType("*/*"); // Only use Bluetooth to send .apk intent.setPackage("com.android.bluetooth"); // Append file and send Intent intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File(filePath))); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share app"));
