Installing .apk's

drinfernoo edited this page Dec 27, 2018 · 14 revisions

This file is used to provide the wizard the necessary information to install external '.apk' files, and is typically named apks.txt. The wizard already comes with built in scrapers for the latest Kodi (stable and unstable) builds. The APK Installer menu is only shown if running on an Android device or when in developer mode.

Example apks.txt:

name="Example APK"
section="no"
url="url.to.apk"
icon="http://"
fanart="http://"
adult="no"
description="A short description of the APK."

name="Example Section"
section="yes"
url="url.to.textfile"
icon="http://"
fanart="http://"
adult="no"
description="An example section."

The fields in this file are all required.

name The name that will show in the wizard
section Whether this should open a separate section. Must be "yes" or "no".
url A url that points to an .apk file. If section="yes", then this should be a url to another apk.txt file.
icon The icon to be shown in Kodi. This must be a 512x512 pixel .png file. Use "http://" for the default icon.
