Hi, I want to create an Android application that is not released to the Android Market for public consumption but only for private use of my company. Is this possible? If so can you post a link to where you can do this?
Thanks! Joe
A:
Definitely possible. Just don't distribute the file outside of the enterprise. You don't have to publish your application to the Android Market unless you want to.

This is not a problem. Just make the apk (installation file) available on an internal website and set the mime type to application/vnd.android.package-archive. Then people can install the application over the intranet directly from their devices.
Other alternates include:
- Installing from the PC using the command line tool adb (comes with the SDK).
- Installing from the PC using a 3rd party tool like this.
- Installing on the device (from SD card) with a free market place call AppManager by zx128.

Thanks! I thought this was impossible before.

Another option:4. Installing on the device from the intranet, enabling "Unknown Sources" (at least, that's what it's called on the G1).
