title: Installing android apk app from web
body: <p>I'd like to publish my own Android application as an .apk file on a web-page.</p>
  
  <p>I link to the file using an ordinary a href.</p>
  
  <p>I've created an .htaccess file with the line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>AddType application/vnd.android.package-archive apk
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And the mime-type seems to work. Chrome (on a PC) reports the type as expected.</p>
  
  <p>BUT when i click the link from my Nexus 7 (Android 4.2) it opens a dialog saying "Complete action using?"</p>
  
  <p>Here I can select "Chrome" - which results in an identical dialog.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to install Dolphin browser, and it offes to save the file - afterwards it can be installed by clicking the downloaded file. But I rather not force people to download another program to be able to install mine.</p>
