Anbox apk install

[gallagherd1993]

i have been having a heck of time trying to get a apk to install i have been able to install everything onto the nexus 5.

Copy the apk to /home/phablet/anbox-data/data

Login to android container on your phone

    lxc-console -ndefault -P /home/phablet/anbox-data/containers -t0

cd into data/

install the apk by using pm install [appname].apk

the very beginning try copy file never can find the directory... when trying to access the info via file manager not allowed... terminal i can... doing a terminal RM command directories can never be found any help would be great

I've done it recently. Let's assume you want to install Spotify and the APK is called "com.spotify.music.apk".

Then, on your PC in a terminal in the same folder where the APK is located

adb root
adb push com.spotify.music.apk /home/phablet/anbox-data/data
adb shell
sudo lxc-console -ndefault -P /home/phablet/anbox-data/containers -t0
cd data
pm install com.spotify.music.apk

Then, on the phone, refresh the app scope and it should be there.

BTW, did you try the official docs: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/anbox.html#how-to-install-new-apks

After you install android-tools-adb on the phone (described in the docs) the installation of an APK would just require (again: on the phone)

adb install my-app.apk
