After android installs an application from the Marketplace, does it keep the .apk file?
Is there a standard location where Android would keep such files?
You can use package manager (pm
) over adb shell
to list packages:
adb shell pm list packages | sort
and to display where the .apk
file is:
adb shell pm path com.king.candycrushsaga
package:/data/app/com.king.candycrushsaga-1/base.apk
And adb pull
to download the apk.
adb pull data/app/com.king.candycrushsaga-1/base.apk
