  • I built a custom app to do it since I couldn’t manage to fire the relevant intents from an adb shell without root.

    I lifted the code from AAAD

    Specifically the InstallAPK method in MainActivity.java

    Intent intent;
    
                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
                    intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE);
                    intent.setData(getUri(file));
                    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                } else {
                    intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                    intent.setDataAndTypeAndNormalize(Uri.fromFile(file), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
                    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                }
    
                intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_NOT_UNKNOWN_SOURCE, true);
                intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INSTALLER_PACKAGE_NAME, "com.android.vending");
                getApplicationContext().startActivity(intent);
            } 
    
    

    Basically you construct an Intent ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE with data pointing to the APK file and the extras EXTRA_NOT_UNKNOWN_SOURCE=true and EXTRA_INSTALLER_PACKAGE_NAME="com.android.vending" which tells the installer that this APK is not sideloaded and it’s the play store asking to install it.

    You might still need to enable unknown sources in Android Auto developer settings (separate from phone developer settings).

    If I remember, I’ll try to pull the code for my app from my PC and post it.



  • I run a 2 node k3s cluster. There are a few small advantages over docker swarm, built-in network policies to lock down my VPN/Torrent pod being the main one.

    Other than that writing kubernetes yaml files is a lot more verbose than docker-compose. Helm does make it bearable, though.

    Due to real-life my migration to the cluster is real slow, but the goal is to move all my services over.

    It’s not “better” than compose but I like it and it’s nice to have worked with it.
