Thumbs down Android x86 and APK files.


Hello.
I installed "Android x86" on VirtualBox but I can't install any .APK file. Any idea to fix it?

Thank you.

I *assume* you download the apk's inside android on virtualbox and the open it them? What error message comes up? You need to enable "unsafe sources" in the options menu - I hope you did that?

No, It is not about security, Android said me "Can't Open file".

Have you tried different (legitimate) apk sources? Maybe the one apk is broken and hence the "can't open file"?

You mean is that I connect to my Android VM on VirtualBox from adb on host machine?
