How to Install APK Files on your Android Phone
You can easily download and install apps
on your Android Mobile phone that
are not officially available in the Android Market (now Google Play) or have
not been approved by Google yet.
The Android App developer will offer the app as an .apk file – think of this as the .exe
installers that ship with Windows software – and you just need to open that file
in your Android Phone to install the app.
However, there’s one change that you need to make to your Android phone before
installing .apk files directly. Go to System Settings – > Applications and check “Unknown
Sources” to allow install of non-Market applications on your Android phone.
