22.02.2019

I greet you, site visitors site. In view of FAQ like "How do I install this app on my tablet?!" I decided to write a small tutorial on this topic. Without water, only essence. I hope you will like it. I will also touch on the topic of how to download games from a computer to a tablet. If you still have questions, ask them in the comments. Read more about that in another article.

So, there are several options for installing Android applications on a tablet:

1. From the official store "Google Play Market"

1.1 Download and install games / programs directly on the tablet, using already installed application Play Store(if you don't have it, then you

Your tablet will download and install the program itself. At the end of the process, Android will notify you in the status bar and on the download page.

After that, just click the "Open" button, and the application will start. In addition, its icon will appear in the menu, and, if such a setting is set, then on the main screen of the tablet.

1.2 Downloading games / programs through a web browser, followed by installation on a tablet using the site Google Play

If you don’t have a tablet at hand, but you really need the program, you can use the online version of the app store. We go to the site https://play.google.com/store. Log in in the upper right corner by entering your Google account. If for some reason you don’t have it, it’s time to get it. And on the tablet, go to Play market under the created account, otherwise the synchronization will not work. Next, select the desired program as usual and click install.

Then we read about the application again and click "Install" again.

The site will tell you that everything is great, and as soon as you connect the Internet on your tablet, the selected application will download and install.

2. From other source sites

2.1 Download and install the application without cache directly on the tablet

Just in case, I will explain what a cache is. The cache is all the main data of the program, usually all the "heavy" stuff. There are all sorts of textures. Sometimes music. The *.apk file of the application, although it can weigh up to 4 GB, but for some reason none of the developers use it. Apparently it’s more convenient for them to upload a small app of 10-15 MB to the Play Market, and download everything else separately.

To install software not from the Market, you must first allow the tablet to do this. To do this, go to Settings -> Applications -> Unknown sources. And put a tick in the menu "Allow installation of applications received not from the market." This is if you have Android 2.X.X, (X is any number). If your tablet is Android 4.X.X, then go to Settings -> Security -> Unknown sources.

Since you already have a tablet in your hands, check if it has file manager. Anyone will do, even the standard "My Files" from Samsung. If not, put it on. ES File Explorer, File Expert, X-Plore, ASTRO File Manager, Total Commander - take your pick.

Well, now you are ready. Go to any site with software for Android (for example :)). Choose a game or whatever you want, and download the apk file directly to your tablet. When the download is over, the notification panel will have a message about it. Open it, and right in it you click on the freshly downloaded file. The standard installation window will open.

All downloaded files are stored in the /sdcard/Download folder. Use a file manager to launch them from here.

2.2 Downloading an application without a cache to a computer, with further transfer to a tablet

Also an easy option. Download first the right software on computer. Then connect your tablet to your computer. Hope you know how to do it. To do this, you need to go to the USB settings. In Android 2, this item is in the network settings, in Android 4 - in the advanced network settings. How to download the file, transfer it to the tablet's memory card, or internal memory, it does not matter. Then disconnect the tablet from the USB and run the apk file manager.

2.3 Download and install the application with the cache directly on the tablet

The same as in paragraph 2.1, only after launch you will be asked to download the cache. Click "download" and wait. After downloading, the game will start by itself.

2.4 Downloading an application with a cache to a computer, with further transfer to a tablet

The same as in paragraph 2.2, except for downloading apk, you also need to download the cache. Look carefully, sometimes cache for different devices different. Choose your tablet, or your series (Example Iconia Tab AXXX), or GPU (Tegra 2). Apk'shnik, as you know, you can throw wherever you want, but the cache is not. The most popular cache paths are:

games from Gameloft - sdcard/gameloft/games/"game name"
games from Electronic Arts- sdcard / Android / data / "name of the game"
games from other developers - sdcard / data / data / "name of the game" or sdcard / "name of the game"

If the desired folder does not exist, create it. In order to avoid an error with the path, you can start the cache jump by mobile internet a couple of seconds. Then cancel, and see where the game began to download the cache.

We continue our acquaintance with tablet computers based on operating system android and today we’ll talk about how to install a program or a game.
The process of installing programs on an Android tablet is quite simple and does not require special knowledge, but there are a few nuances that you should pay attention to.

The easiest way to install programs on an android tablet is the Play Market.

I don’t know if it’s possible to come up with a way to install programs easier than it is implemented on systems running Android OS - Just run the application Play market, choose desired program or game and press the button "Install".

There is also a web counterpart Play Store - Yandex.Store.

How to install android applications from a memory card.

Play Market is certainly out of competition, but what to do when there is no Internet connection on the tablet, but you need to install the program? There are several more ways to install programs on an android tablet without using the Play Market, one of them is installing programs from a memory card.

The installation file for android systems is a file with the extension .apk. Therefore, when you download an application or game from the Internet, you need to pay attention that it has the name of this extension. In order to install the program on the tablet, you need to copy the file to it. apk and run it. This is where the difficulties arise.

The fact. By default, on devices running the Android operating system, the installation of third-party applications is prohibited. Therefore, the first step is to remove this restriction. This is done simply. You need to go to the tablet settings and select the item "Safety". Here we check the box that allows you to install applications not from Play Market.

If you have any difficulties: Description of the android tablet settings menu.

Now you need to connect the tablet to the computer and copy the installation apk file. Such a connection can be made using an OTG cable, or simply remove the SD card from the tablet and insert it into the computer (remember to remove it safely). In order to avoid confusion in the future, create a special folder for such programs.

To start the installation process, you need to run apk file. To do this, you need a file manager with which you can browse folders and run files on your tablet. I use file manager "ES Explorer".

Installing files on an android tablet using an Internet browser.

But what if there is no Internet connection, and it is not possible to install a file manager? In this case, you can use an Internet browser. Only here in the address bar you need to write not the site address, but indicate the directory in which our file is located. It should look like this:

In the address bar of the browser I typed "file:///sdcard" and the browser immediately turned into a kind of file explorer. Now all I have to do is run the file. But, no matter how much I tortured the browser, it did not launch the file right away. He suggested that I download the file, and only then allowed me to run it. One way or another, we managed to launch and install the application apk through the browser.

The method of installing the file through the browser seemed to me not very convenient. Although the taste and color - there are no comrades.

I hope my instructions will help you choose your installation method. APK files on a tablet running the Android operating system.

After buying a gadget, the user immediately faces the question of how to install the application on a tablet?

Another plus in the direction of learning how to perform this operation yourself is that in the future you will have to do this more than once. So why pay more? (FROM).

Installing programs on an Android tablet

This can be done using a computer or via the Internet.
I'll show you how to do it online.

First, you must be connected to the World Wide Web. It can be both Wi-Fi, and 3G and 4G, provided that you have an unlimited connection, since software for a gadget sometimes “weighs” a lot.

Secondly. An account must be created in the Play Store, to which the device will be “linked”. Again, it can be customized at your request by the employees of the store where the purchase was made. If not, then let's start setting up.

Registration in the Play Market

We go to the Menu. Find the utility shortcut and click on it.

We create a new account.

We enter the data - it is possible in Russian or in Cyrillic.

We come up with a name for the future mailbox.

We enter the password.

To recover your password, you must specify a secret word (I chose my first phone number) and, if possible, an additional e-mail.

Follow these steps as shown in the screenshots below. You will need to accept or refuse reading news on Google +, activate or not search history, enter captcha, etc.

That completes the registration. Let's move on to the next step.

Installing programs

The fun begins!
To do this, you need to go back to the Play Store, which is no longer unknown to us.
In the right part we find a magnifying glass and enter the name of the required application, for example, this is Dr.Web Lite and press “OK” or “Go” on the keyboard.

A page will open for our search query. Choose "Doctors" in the free version. If possible, you can choose a paid one.
