Owners of mobile gadgets that work under therunning Android OS, often when trying to install some applications, they encounter an unpleasant situation when instead of successfully installing on the device screen a syntax error appears when installing APK. Now we will consider the reasons for its occurrence and the simplest methods of correction.
First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the mostelementary things. For example, the option is not excluded that the installation file itself is either underdeveloped or simply corrupted. Most often this applies to situations where the file is not taken from the Google Play (Play Market) service, but downloaded from the Internet.
However, the most common phenomena can besay, the moment that the APK installation file is not designed for the version of the Android OS currently used on the device, and also that the system settings simply block the installation of third-party files received not from an official source (in our case this is the Play service Market).
If you consider the default settings, it's easyto guess that "operating system", in fact, prohibits the installation of user applications. So it turns out that installing APK-files on "Android" becomes impossible due to the current limitations on the part of the system itself. However, there is always a way out, as they say.
In some cases, the occurrence of an installation errorwith the blocking of the corresponding file can be accompanied by a notification of a lack of free space. Do not be upset. The gadget is all right. Simply the syntax error when installing the APK-file manifests itself this way.
To fix access to the installation, you need toperform simple actions. Here everything comes down to disabling the prohibitions. In the simplest version, you need to use the settings menu, where security settings are selected. There is a special field called "Unknown Sources". Its activation (a tick opposite) and involves installing permissions to install applications from third-party distributions.
If the syntax error during installationAPK-distro appears again (most often it is connected with the parsing of the installed application), it is worth paying attention to the state of the package itself. You can try to download it again and reinstall.
In passing, you need to look at which versionsystem is designed for this program. For example, the application is designed for use in the Android 5.1 Lollipop environment, and the user tries to install it in 4.2 Jelly Bean or 4.4 KitKat. It is clear that the "operating system" itself simply will not accept it (does not recognize that it will work in this environment). Here you can give an analogy with Windows. No application, for example, for Windows 7 or 8 in a Windows XP environment, is not something that will not start, but it will not even be installed (this is for it to be understandable). This is also the case with Android-modifications.
In this case, you will need to find the installationfile, calculated exactly on the version of the system that is used on the gadget. By the way, sometimes this situation can appear in case of self-installation of some types of firmware. Here no one will give a guarantee that the installation will be successful.
However, as we see, the situation with errorsis corrected quite simply. However, in most cases this applies to non-flashed Android systems. Otherwise, the most basic settings allow you to avoid errors in the future.
