My braining is low, pls help I got a new noname demo tablet from a company to see how well it might work with drone operations. It claims to be android 13. The app for flight control is called DJI FLY, and it is not on google play. You have to download it from their site. This focakaka thing will not download it from there. I have enabled developer mode. I found a setting for install unknown apps. Great. There is no way to add that apk to that page. DJI will not allow one to download the apk onto their computer (at least me). I found what said it was a repo with the fly app in it, and squirted it into the tablet via cable. The native files app sees this apk. It only offers 'open with' as a choice. I'll check back in tomorrow to see what you guys think. I've googled the shit out of the topic, and can't seem to find a tutorial that matches the feature set of this tablets' android. I've asked DJI, but it's only been a day. Can I download a version of android for this thing that will allow me to sideload the apk or download it off of DJI's site? I assume I'd then need a BT stack, GPS etc etc etc. Worse come to worst, I will have time to sit down and beat on this thing next week assuming things get better. |

You've got developer options enabled. You have an apk file. You can use adb to install the app. Its a command line program provided by google for apple, windows, linux, and even other android devices. On windows, install USB drivers. On Linux, add udev rules so your user can access the USB device, or run adb as root. Open a terminal "adb install foo.apk" Done. |

are you trying to get a live feed from your goggles to a tablet, or just trying to update your drone, goggles, and controller? I just did a similar exercise on a raspberry pi5, where you install Android lineage 22.2, install the DJIfly apk, solder on an additional usb-c port and you get a live feed from your goggles to a 60” TV. It’s pretty slick. |
