Share Android Apps via Bluetooth

Almost all the friends in my social circle own an Android phone and those who don’t have it yet are planning to get one shortly. So with so many Androids around, we frequently talk about new apps and how they are helping each of us in our daily life, and thus we have situations where I may like an app on one of my friend’s phone and would want to quickly install it on mine as well.
Of course, I can open Google Play and download the application but why waste the bandwidth when I can ask my friend to transfer it to me over Bluetooth. Sounds interesting, right?( The only requirement is both devices must have a File Manager/Explorer like... ES File Explorer, Astro, Neptune..etc) Here I m using ES File Explorer
STEPS: Open ES File Manager  and go to the “Homepage”
                            es0                es1
  Then Open  “APK” folder and Select the app   that you want to share (You can Directly share the app by Clicking on MORE option------->SHARE )
  and Click on the “Backup” button.This will create an Apk file of that Application
  which would be saved into the Folder “backup”(app folder)  at the Internal Memory of your Mobile file exetension of .Apk file which you will share

                           es2                es3
After that : Now you can share the app via Bluetooth. After selecting the app click on “MORE” option, than click on “SHARE” Select Bluetooth device search for the device and send the file. Once  the receiver receives the file, he will be able to install it.

    You can transfer that Apk file into your Sd card. Once you have created an Apk file of a Application  you don’t have to do it again
Thank you …
