Im not sure about it but my guess is that you cant do that. The only option i see is downloading the app to your phone or whatever and pulling it from system/app to your sdcard then copying it to your PC. (Or using adb pull to transfer it directly to your PC)

you can create a new google account with another location...or change your location and go for it
you can google for astro file manager apk
Just google "astro apk"
this doesn't works on this way...this is IP checking under connection...

What file manager are you using? Try ES File explorer from the Market.
P.S. : Are you using a file manager at all?? Or are you looking for the transferred apks in the app drawer? Trust me, i know a dude who was doing exactly that!!!

You can side load .apk s from the HTC desktop software . when you connect cancel sync and on the main window it has an application installer button just browse to the apk on your pc and click the button

You're right mate, but there is no reason he shouldn't be able to see apk files transferred to the sd card.
I believe that is a more fundamental thing that should be taken care of, rather than looking for a workaround to install apps. Don't you agree?

Of course mate ,just offering an alternative
And before his phone will let him he's gotta go Menu, Settings, Applications, and tick the Unknown Sources box.

See?
I had a hunch you weren't...
It's a very common mistake made by first time smartphone users. So don't worry about it. And BTW, read the post above about allowing non-market apk installs, without which you won't be able to install these apps from sd card.
Happy app-ing!!
If not, what else is done under the covers?
Also, what are the differences when installing applications
•From the android market
•sideloaded from web download
•sideloaded using adb install
•sideloaded using adb push
I copied this question from another place (I cannot put link here because I am new here) because I also have the same question and want to know more about this.

Some .Apk's can be placed in system/data/app while others can't , make sure the .apk you're trying to place in system/data/app is supported or you may end up restoring your device. if the apk can run from the system /data/app then yes with the right permissions ...
Apk's from the market will give you detailed info from the apk like permission needed , supported devices ect, even the developers contact info ( in other word they are approved by Google.
while "sideloaded" apk or web apk (not coming from Google) are pirates apk,modified apk ect. who knows what permissions it needs or what info you are sharing with whoever modified the apk...
So be careful what you get into your device and where is placed on your device

Simply placing the apk into the correct folder is not enough. You will also need to set the permissions to the same as the other apps in that folder (I can't remember the permissions off the top of my head). This can easily be done using Root explorer, or using an adb shell and the chmod command.
Play Store installs and sideloaded installs achieve the same result, however you will want to be careful where you download apk files from. Apps from the Play Store are less likely to be malicious in nature, and , of course, you should never be pirating paid apps.
Adb push would not be enough as you would still need to set permissions. Unless you are installing a system app, it is better just to use adb install.

Are you saying the "adb push" will only copy file into the target location but "adb install" will copy the file into the target location AND also set the proper permission for you?
With all of the usual warnings about the source/safety of "side-loaded" apps aside. . .
I simply put the .apk file onto the SD card (anywhere), and then use a file manager like Astro to "open" it (root access not required). You will be prompted to see if you really wanted to install the app. Then let Android do its thing. The app will be installed where it belongs, with all the permissions it needs.
For this to work, you must first tell the device to allow installation of apps from unknown sources. Go to Settings | Security, and check Unknown Sources.

This guide is for helping people that want to install Google play store at fuhu Nabi Jr Edition SNBJR-MT5C-US that have some expert skills. It is not an automated procedure yet.
This edition is equipped with an MTK processor and is not recognized by Nabilab tools so this procedure has to be entirely manual executed.
Root your device
Root device using Kingo Root
Enter Daddy mode
Boot rooted device and enter Daddy mode
Install Es File Explorer
Allow unknown sources to be installed
Install File Explorer from direct downloading apk
Make system rw
Enter Root Explorer option in Es File Explorer and select to mount system as rw
Download zip
Download zip from link below and extract contents using Es File Explorer

Copy files within each folder of extracted zip to own folder Inside system folder
copy files to data folder
Copy files within each folder of extracted zip to own folder Inside data folder
reboot
Reboot device and cross finger.
Do these procedures at your own risk
So after following this procedure, is the play store supposed to just show up in the list of apps? No installation or anything?
Works!
Thank you very much. I have the SNBJR-MT5C 8GB version, which I brought from Aliexpress.
A number of things dont work as I am not located in the USA so could not enter billing information, so many of the built in apps dont work at all.
Device Rooted.
Installed the files, and Google Play works! It asked me to create/use a google account, all looking good so far!!
Thank you!
Only thing left is to figure out how to remove/hide some of the built in apps in Nabi mode which are not appropraite for my kid, or are too advanced etc, or dont work due to billing issue.

Well, to do this uninstall you may use some apps available on playstore like 'es file manager' or 'titanium backup'; the ones I use most for this task.
The problem is that I do not have much luck on restoring deleted apps afterwards on this device.
You should try to disable the app on Android Apps settings before attempt to delete them.

Bit of help
Hi,
I just picked up two of the 8 gig models for my boys. I want to get the google app store going on both so i can get the nick jr app on there. I would love to flash the nabi jr nickelodeon edition on here if possible, not sure if it is. I'd like to follow this guide. Any problems if i follow this guide and then do a system update via nabi update, or should i disable that?
I'd be willing to provide any stock files if that would help make a recovery? Should I do twrp to make a backup for myself anyways?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Kutas

This procedure will not install TWRP, just play store.
It will not allow to flash another nabi rom.
By the way, since it is a different processor, they are not compatible.
We would need to port TWRP to this device and compile an specific kernel for this device...
This made my kid very happy.

I know this is an old thread with nobody paying attention to it anymore but I just revisited this topic to try again. Followed instructions (I'm pretty sure correctly). Good new is I do have play store in the list of apps but when I try to login to my Google account it just immediately gives the message "there was a problem communicating with Google servers" or something like that. Any idea what the problem might be.
