samsung galaxy note 10.1 - Which version of VLC is right for an Exynos tablet?


VLC has two versions listed for ARM,



  • Android (ARMv7-A)


  • Android (ARMv8-A)


I'd rather not install with the PlayStore. Both of these versions when downloaded say "Can't open file" when I click then in the File Manager.


For comparison, I also download F-Droid clicking it open up a prompt for me to install with the option INSTALL and CANCEL. I am using a Samsung SM-P600 UD.



Answer




The version needed with -ARMv7.apk. After downloading that, you have to install it. This may be more difficult than need be because VLC currently has the content-type on the response set wrong, you can read more about that here:



You may open the file downloaded from the Download Manager nor through the browser -- see the link above
