I am able to install an apk file stored on sdcard using the following code:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File("/mnt/sdcard/downloads/Sample.apk")), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
startActivity(intent);

How can I install an apk file stored in assets folder? Is it possible?
