Reinstall application apk programmatically without downloading
<p>Due to <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=25906&amp;q=reporter%3aLee.Wilmot&amp;colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars">this annoying Android limitation</a> I need users to reinstall my application so the manifest permissions are detected by other applications. </p>

<p>This is already going to be frustrating for the user, but in addition, I cannot see a way to reinstall my application from the apk stored in /data/app and I would therefore have to download the same version to the storage card before firing the usual install intent.</p>

<p>I eagerly await someone telling me that I'm missing something obvious! I've drawn a blank...</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Edit: Please do star the issue if you'd like to see it resolved! Cheers.</p>
