Is there any way to access /data/app folder? I need to download new version of my app in it.

Update:

I have installed say MyApp_1.apk. Now I want to update it with new version. I download MyApp_2.apk from server to /data/app. System will rewrite MyApp_1 with MyApp_2. But need access to /data/app.

What exactly do you mean? You've tagged this with installation - if you want to install an app to /data/app then just open it with a file manager and let the system install it. That's where apps go by default. Also, this would be related if that's what you're going for: How can I install an app given only its APK file? – eldarerathis♦ Aug 6 '12 at 18:26
Yes, I want to install new version of my application. It only need to write a file in this folder and reboot a phone. And I want to do it programmatically. – XXX Aug 6 '12 at 18:28

"new version of application", the installer will replace the existing one if exists! – t0mm13b Aug 6 '12 at 18:31

Are you the developer of that app, and look for a specific way for a direct install? As a user, you shouldn't need to care how the file gets there as long as it does (there are specific reasons why it's handled this way). – Izzy Aug 14 '12 at 13:29
