Using private application

[wakespirit]

Dear all,

I need to build an application for a customer for his business. The application is not intended to public but just the internal use at my customer site.

In which way the build application can be dowloadable in such private use ?
Do we still need to push it to Android market ?
Which fees will they be apply if any ?

I am new to android so please to be clear.

regards
serge

Hey Serge,

The great thing about Android is that for an application such as you mention you do not need to use the Android Market and therefore don't have to pay anything.

You can simply build the application APK file and send it your client who can then place the APK file on the SD card and install it from there via a file browser (after allowing 3rd party applications to be installed in the settings->application menu).

If you're new to Android I suggest you check out the Android SDK which is free and has plenty of great info on where to start. Anddev.org is also a great resource, for everything else a Google search will always have an answer.

Good luck!

You can just send the apk to their phones instead of putting it on the market.
