How to create Android Applications only for the Enterprise [closed]

Question

I want to create an Android application that is not released to the Android Market for public consumption but only for private use of my company. Is this possible? If so can you post a link to where you can do this?

Thanks! Joe

This is not a problem. Just make the apk (installation file) available on an internal website and set the mime type to application/vnd.android.package-archive. Then people can install the application over the intranet directly from their devices.

Other alternates include:

1. Installing from the PC using the command line tool adb (comes with the SDK).
2. Installing from the PC using a 3rd party tool like this.
3. Installing on the device (from SD card) with a free market place call AppManager by zx128.
