React Native APK Installer

Install an android APK from your react-native project. This project is based on react-native-android-library-boilerplate and react-native-install-apk

Installing ApkInstaller

1. Add react-native-apk-installer to your project

• Install directly from npm: npm install --save react-native-apk-installer.
• Or do npm install --save git+https://github.com/null--/react-native-apk-installer.git in your main project.

2. Link the library:

• Add the following to android/settings.gradle:

    include ':react-native-apk-installer'
    project(':react-native-apk-installer').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, '../node_modules/react-native-apk-installer/android')

• Add the following to android/app/build.gradle:

    ...
  
    dependencies {
        ...
        compile project(':react-native-apk-installer')
    }

• Add the following to android/app/src/main/java/**/MainApplication.java:

    ...
    import com.cnull.apkinstaller.ApkInstallerPackage;  // add this for react-native-apk-installer
  
    public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
  
        @Override
        protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
            return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
                new MainReactPackage(),
                ...
                new ApkInstallerPackage()     // add this for react-native-apk-installer
            );
        }
    }

4. Simply import ApkInstaller from 'react-native-apk-installer' (You might also need to install react-native-fs package).

     import RNFS from 'react-native-fs';
     import ApkInstaller from 'react-native-apk-installer'
   
      try {
          var filePath = RNFS.CachesDirectoryPath + '/com.example.app.apk';
          var download = RNFS.downloadFile({
            fromUrl: 'http://example.com/com.example.app.apk',
            toFile: filePath,
            progress: res => {
                console.log((res.bytesWritten / res.contentLength).toFixed(2));
            },
            progressDivider: 1
          });
   
          download.promise.then(result => {
            if(result.statusCode == 200) {
              console.log(filePath);
              ApkInstaller.install(filePath);
            }
          });
      }
      catch(error) {
          console.warn(error);
      }
