I can't install my app (.apk) on my android device
I build it on Unity3D. This application has open,read and write file. I copy it to galaxy tab 10.1 (2014 edition) sd card and touch icon to install but I can't touch install button. My tab show this pop up
I can touch only Cancel button. If I touch install, nothing happen and this pop up still show on my tab. Please help me, I want to know how to install my app or what is wrong?
try forcing to internal SD which you can set on the build settings
Disable your screen dimmer and try again.

Disabled my screen dimmer (twilight) and worked like a charm, Thanks
One way to install the apk from your PC is by using the adb tool, which is located in the platform-tools folder, inside the Android SDK folder, e.g.:
C:/Program Files (x86)/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb.exe
If you set the "Path" environment variable to the above folder, it will make things a lot easier. You will be able to run"adb" from the folder where your apk is located:

You should also enable "USB Debugging" in your device. I'm not sure the exact path for the galaxy tab 10.1, but for my device it's:
Settings/Applications/Development/USB Debugging
It should be something similar for you too.
After you've done the above, connect your device with a USB cable to your computer and open a Command Prompt window. Inside the Command Prompt window change the current directory to the directory where your apk is located:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/command-prompt-faq#1TC=windows-7
After you get to the correct directory, run the following command (assuming you have correctly set the PATH variable):
adb devices [and press Enter]
This command should start the adb server if it's not already running, and it's output will show you your device ID.
Then type the following command:
adb install "your File Name.apk" [and press Enter]
The installation will start, and hopefully will finish with adb output "Success".
@pako This isn't correct - if you set Android as the target, you can simply "Build" in Unity and copy the resulting .apk to an Android device. Assu$$anonymous$$g you have enabled applications from 3rd party sources, you can then just select the AP$$anonymous$$ file on the device to install the application.
@Iam$$anonymous$$ai On your galaxy, go to Settings -> Security and make sure you have "$$anonymous$$ sources" checked.
@tanoshimi I don't fully understand your comment. I always use the methodology I outlined, and it works fine. I mean, I do build in Unity, and then use adb install with the built apk. $$anonymous$$aybe you mean that you can "Build And Run" and the apk is directly installed in the device, provided installation from unknown sources is enabled.
I use the above procedure because it gives me a sense of greater control, that's all. I have used the Build And Run Option 2 - 3 times, but I prefer not to. It's just a personal preference, and this is why I based my answer on what I do. An added bonus is that with adb install, I don't need to have installation from unknown sources enabled, which gives a security warning that I don't particularly like.
To clarify - the bit I'm disagreeing with is your statement that "To install the apk from your PC you have to do it using the adb tool". You don't - you can just drag n' drop it onto the device. I'm not disagreeing that the rest of your method is good, but it's not the only way.
@tanoshimi O$$anonymous$$ now I understand what you said better. You do mean "Build" and not "Build and Run". Never tried that before. I'm learning a new thing every day. Anyway, it's very easy for me to open a command prompt directly where I build the apk and then use adb install, without having to enable 3rd party installs.
