backup - How to access Android APKs without rooting


I recently bought a 7" Android ICS tablet as a gift for a friend. Unfortunately it's not a Store supported device, so I can't download from the Store.


There are a number of sites that allow you to download APKs, but most of the apps I want to download aren't available on them. I have a 10" tablet that IS supported and has a large number of the apps I want to provide to my friend. Is there any way to get at the APKs on the 10" tablet (without rooting it) so I can copy them to, and install them on the 7" - using the provided app installer?



Answer



You can use an app like App Backup & Restore. It allows you to select which apps you want to backup and it copies them to your SD card.
