At the moment, the mobile shell program Android, created by Google on the basis of the Linux operating system, has long left all competitors behind. However, when acquiring a device with this OS, a user who is accustomed to Windows has a number of difficulties, since even the most elementary, at first glance, actions, such as installing and removing programs, are very unusual. And given the specifics of compact smartphones and tablets, allowing you to pass the waiting time, their owners will be very useful to know how the installation of games on Android.
Executive Files
The first thing that a person who previously used only Windows should pay attention to is the format of executive files. In the shell program from the company of Bill Gates, it was "exe", and in "Android" - "apk". Files with this extension are a kind of installer archives, the contents of which can be viewed with any convenient archiver. There are currently three main ways in which programs and games are installed. "Android" allows you to do this very simply, but some knowledge of the nuances is required.
Method one
Installing games on Android in the first way is the most natural and safe. It consists in using the "native" Play-Market. The process is quite simple. We go to the Market, select the game you like and click "Install", and everything else will happen automatically. This method has its own big plus and the same minus. The first is that when a newer version is released, the user will immediately receive a notification about its appearance. And it will not be superfluous to know that all the games downloaded from Market do not contain any viruses and malware, as they undergo a thorough check. The drawback is the consumption of traffic, which in the case of using the limited mobile Internet can create certain inconveniences, therefore it is better to work with Market in areas with Wi-Fi.
Second way
The next way is that in Google, unlike Apple, it is possible to install games on Android from third-party developers. To do this, you need an apk file and any file manager or installer, for example, AppInstaller. After copying the game to the memory card, the selected assistant application is launched, which automatically finds all apk files and installs them. For this process to be completed successfully, it is necessary to make changes to the operation of the operating system by unchecking the checkbox opposite the "Unknown sources" field in the security settings.
Third way
The difference from the previous options is that the installation process begins on the user's computer. To do this, you need a special program for installing games on "Android" from a PC - InstallAPK. It needs to be downloaded and installed on the computer, then the favorite “toy” is downloaded and, having connected the mobile device, double-click on the apk-file, which will lead to the automatic installation of the game on the “Android” device of the user.
Total
As you can see, installing games on Android is quite easy, causing difficulties only at first, when it is not yet clear how to do it. With a little practice, the user will undoubtedly appreciate the convenience of such solutions, saving time and effort, as well as ensuring the reliability of the OS.
