If possible, would be nice to have it automatically start the apk after it finishes downloading:

Quote:package test.installer;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;

public class InstallToolActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Log.i("Demo", "onCreate");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("file://"+"/mnt/sdcard/HelloWorld.apk"), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
intent.addFlags(intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
}
}

Also, the order is wrong in the app:

[ ] Nightlies
[ ] Snapshots (a.k.a. Monthlies)
[ ] Releases (Stable)

Thanx for above response. A new version of XBMC Updater (1.0.2) is uploaded to Google Play!

Great app. But it's not immediately clear that you first have to download before you can use the install button. Or else you'll end up with an error "There is a problem parsing the package" that isn't very helpful. And i'm only seeing half the install button.

Left a 5star for you on the PS. I ended up installing it on my phone, just to pull the APK and apply it to my ADT-1. No more having to manually update the ADT-1. . . which is awesome because every time I need to run the USB cable across the room, download the new nightly, and install via ADB. This makes it so much more efficient.

Thanks for your effort!!!

Great app, do you have also a version, without the Nightlies option!, only the Stable option? So that i can install the apk on a fire tv?
