Install Android App via USB

Hey Guys

I've got a Problem. I am working on a Project where I am using a Programm on the PC to handle different data (which another programm = my android app creates), which i found on the plugged in sd-card of the android device.

My aim is now to use the programm on the Computer to install the Android App on the Android Device. In other words: My PC-Programm copies the .apk to the sd card of the Android Device via USB. But how can i install it now? I would be awesome if, after the copy-process has finished the app installs automatically.

Is something linke this possible?

Well i also thought about using ADB but then i would have to install another programm. I want to do this directly with my PC-Program... if possible ;)

ADB can also push files to the SD card by the way, but you should probably provide some more background on why exactly you're trying to do all this.

Well... ok, I've got an Programm which runs on the Computer. (written in Java) It is responsible for the Connection with the plugged-in-Android-Device (via USB). So I now want to offer to option, that the User can click "Install my App" and then the PC-Programm copies the signed .apk to the (sdcard of the) device... afterwards the android-device should start the install-process automatically.
