Does anyone know how to go about downloading applications for android without having to connect the receiving device to the internet?
I need to be able to download applications on a computer and transfer them via SD card to the device that they will run on. The device that will run the apps will NOT be connected to the net.
Suggestions?
Download from somewhere other than Google Play. Or try reverse tethering
well at least your computer has to have an internet connection and you can download from other forum sites etc..
if not you should get .apk files (android application files) from your friend or something..
Using Google Play Store

The play store needs internet on the phone
So it seems that if I wanted to have a device (tablet) with absolutely no internet connection the only way I would be able to load applications from say Google Play is I would have to download the application and install it on another internet connected device and grab the APK off of that device and sneakernet it to the tablet with no connection.
Google Play does not seem to offer any way to download apps except if the developer offers the apk on their own website.

I've found a link to a tutorial that may be useful to you:

I hope this helps.
I just got a tablet that uses a de-Googled Android (Amazon Kindle Fire HDX). I'm aware you can install the Play Store and turn it into a useable tablet, but I wonder if this couldn't be achieved in a simpler way - or rather, a way that didn't require installing the Google framework.
I'm thinking of the Chrome/Chromium plugin that lets you spoof the Play Store and download the APKs straight to your computer. I'd like something similar, but that could run on the device itself, so you could install stuff without needing a computer nearby. Unfortunately Chrome for Android doesn't support the same extensions as the desktop version, so that option is a no-go. I've checked a few apps that claim to download APKs, but they all use the Google API and won't work if the PlayStore isn't already installed.
Any ideas?
head over apkleecher.com, put the package name there and download the apk from g0ogle play, in any browser

Mines enabled already, I never enabled it.
Could be because of Chinese firmware as it comes without Google stuff in stock?

-When I access Google device manager from PC, mate 9 doesn't show on the device list.
How can I find my mate 9 on Google device manager from my PC, and install app into mate 9 via Play store on PC?
I installed GMS packages below using "gmsinstaller.apk"
Google Services Framework
Google Account Manager

Gave permissions to each app as follows
Google Services Framework

All of the list include
-Contacts

-Your location
Google Play Store

About the Settings matter,
