It should be noted that many gamers are used to downloading and installing games on PCs and consoles. For them, familiarity with the game world of the Android operating system, may at first seem strange and even, relatively, difficult, especially the process of downloading and installing the game on a mobile device. But in fact, everything is not so complicated!
If the game you are interested in downloading is located in the public access section of the Play Market, is free or you already have an attached card with enough money to buy a game – it can be downloaded and installed with just a few clicks. As for downloading apps and programs from other resources – apk installation can be a little more complicated – but trust me, not much at all.
There are a lot of ways to download games to your Android smartphone or tablet. Let’s look at just a few of them, which are the most popular and effective. It must be said that any smartphone user with a desire to learn to work with the system to the fullest will be able to use the following methods.
The “usual” method
The first way is to download and install the game you are looking for through the Android Market application (now this application is called Play Google). To do this, find the shortcut of the desired application – most often it is installed initially on almost all the latest versions of Android. Go to the application, look for the games section and choose the appropriate game for us (you can use during the search the appropriate directories, filters and so on). In the upper right corner is the download option, which, in fact, we use.
In the latest version of Play Google, the download option button is colored blue, and it is impossible not to notice. Once the download of the game is complete (its process is displayed on the application page or indicated in the notification panel), it is automatically installed. This requires enough space in the memory of the device, compliance of all technical parameters required by the application to the parameters of your device and the correct download.
“Advanced” method
As a second way we can consider the direct installation of the .apk archive. In this case, we do not use internal applications. We need to find the .apk game file we are interested in on the Internet, download it and throw it on the phone memory. Before that in the device be sure to unlock the rights to install another sofa, if it is not already done. To do this, go to the general settings of the device. Find the applications option, then – unknown sources or settings, select the option “for developers” – Root access and just click on the checkbox with the selection of only applications. However, different Android versions may have slightly different ways of the above settings – the essence remains the same.
You can find the .apk file on all kinds of websites or forums. For example, a great resource for downloading and then installing the applications you are interested in – https://appda.ru/games/. By the way, the user interface between the OS and the memory of your smartphone is carried out with the help of an explorer application. As a rule, this is pre-installed software, but it is possible to install other, more advanced. You can find it in the Google Market repository.
The “Pro” method
The third way is to download games with cache on your Android device. For some games is not enough only .apk file or a simple installation from Android Market, they can begin to require the installation of the cache to work (or do not require anything, and simply do not work, since the installation of the cache for them is implicit). For such games already when logging into the application there is a suggestion to download the cache – we can agree to download (although this may be an additional cost and sometimes these cache files can take up quite a lot of free space) or not agree (in this case, of course, we will have to forget about installing this game – at least this version). You can also find hacked apk files with the cache on the Internet and download them. Then run first the apk game file, and then the cache itself. If everything was downloaded correctly, the game will be installed. Such variants, by the way, are convenient because you can see at once how much memory the game you are installing will take up.
