While uploading an Android application to Google Playstore, I didn't see any option to specify EULA text. I am wondering if it is possible to enforce EULA such that a user has to agree to it before the install can happen.

Unlike Apple, Android Apps are not required to include an EULA, nor is there a default EULA in place. Because there is no legal requirement, many Android Apps do not have a governing EULA – potentially leaving App Developers exposed to various risks.
An EULA is a contract between you and the user who purchases your software - your Android app. It gives the user the right to download your app and use that copy of your app after they submit payment (if applicable).
3.1 Subject to the terms of the License Agreement, Google grants you a limited, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, non-exclusive, and non-sublicensable license to use the SDK solely to develop applications for compatible implementations of Android.

This was the basic overview of my approach:
