Installing Applications Through the Android Market

The Android Market is essentially Android’s answer to Apple’s iPhone App Store. As of September 2009, the Android Market already offered well over 10,000 applications, and this number has only continued to grow. In addition to the applications the Android Market offers, you can also use it to install other downloaded third party applications.

  1. Copy the APK file to your Android’s memory card and insert the card into your phone.
  2. Download and install the Apps Installer application from the Android Market
  3. Once installed, the Apps Installer will display the APK files on the memory card.
  4. Click and install your APK files.

Installing Applications With Android SDK

It is possible to install APK files without utilizing the Android Market, although the process is more difficult and complex. To avoid the Android Market, you need to use Android SDK.

  1. Download and install the Google Android SDK program and the Android USB drivers. The download links are as follows: http://code.google.com/android/intro/installing.html
  2. http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip
  3. You need to modify your Android’s settings to allow the installation of applications from other sources. Under “Settings,” select “Application Settings” and then enable “Unknown Sources.” Also under “Settings,” select “SD Card” and “Phone Storage,” and finally enable “Disable Use for USB Storage”
  4. This last step is easy. Open Command Prompt and type the following: adb install <1>/<2>.apk
  5. However, when you type the command, replace <1> with the path to your APK file and replace <2> with the name of the APK file.
  6. You’re done! Your application is now ready for your use and enjoyment.

A non visible soft keyboard (Input Method) intended to be used with hardware Bluetooth and USB keyboards. It automatically brings up the Input Method dialog when Bluetooth keyboard connects or disconnects (on some devices this can also be made to work with USB keyboards). It supports a lot of different keylayouts for non-US external keyboards and also provides a lot of configuration options.


This app does NOT require a rooted device and there is a DEMO version available if you want to try it out before buying.

* Allows you to control which characters should be treated as combining characters.

* A “null” Soft Keyboard to use with hardware keyboards (Bluetooth & USB).

What it does NOT


* It won’t fix your Bluetooth or USB connected keyboard if it wasn’t working in the first place.

* It does not automatically switch Input Method. It only shows the dialog and you will have to choose Input Method manually. This is an intentional limitation built into Android by Google. No app is allowed to change Input Method without user interaction (unless the app is a system app).


What’s in External Keyboard Helper Pro version 4.4:



  • Added test area (press menu while viewing custom layout)

  • Added German, Spanish and Hungarian (partly) translations

  • Added Spanish Dvorak and Br-Nativo (Portuguese Dvorak) layouts

  • Fixed marking with shift bug when shift was manually mapped or “Override special keys” was checked

  • Fixed keylayout confusion that could happen on app upgrade and for some caused repetitive force closes when upgrading to 4.3
