Android installation apk file and adapt to Android 7.0 details

First register the provider in the file, activity node at the same level:

<provider
      android:name="."
      android:authorities="${applicationId}.file_provider"
      android:exported="false"
      android:grantUriPermissions="true">
      <meta-data
        android:name=".FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
        android:resource="@xml/file_paths" />
    </provider>

Download the apk file to this path:

String cachePath = (
            getExternalFilesDir("upgrade_apk") +
                 +
                getPackageName() +
                ".apk");

Create a file named file_paths in the res directory xml folder: upgrade_apk represents the folder name of the saved path above, you can change it at will, the same is enough.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
  <external-files-path name="bga_upgrade_apk" path="upgrade_apk" />
</paths>

Finally, write the code to distinguish the version numbers of different Android systems and install the apk (note: [] you need to replace the package name of your application)

 /**
        * Install the apk file
        *
        * @param apkFile
        */
      public void installApk(File apkFile) {
        Intent installApkIntent = new Intent();
        (Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        (Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
        (Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

        if (.SDK_INT &gt; Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
          ((getApplicationContext(), ".file_provider", apkFile), "application/-archive");
          (Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
        } else {
          ((apkFile), "application/-archive");
        }

        if (getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(installApkIntent, 0).size() &gt; 0) {
          startActivity(installApkIntent);
        }
      }
