Install From Market: to install an APK from a market place, such as Google Play or the App Store, you can use an `<a>` tag in combination with the `market://` protocol:

'application/pdf',
{
error : function(e) {

Android APK installation limitation
---
The following limitations apply when opening an APK file for installation:
- On Android 8+, your application must have the `ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE` permission. You can add it by adding this to your app's `config.xml` file:
```
<platform name="android">
<config-file parent="/manifest" target="AndroidManifest.xml" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES" />
</config-file>
</platform>
```xml
<platform name="android">
<config-file parent="/manifest" target="AndroidManifest.xml" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES" />
</config-file>
</platform>
```
- Before Android 7, you can only install APKs from the "external" partition. For example, you can install from `cordova.file.externalDataDirectory`, but **not** from `cordova.file.dataDirectory`. Android 7+ does not have this limitation.
