PackageInstallerListener listener = new PackageInstallerListener{public void onResult(List results) {...}};

PackageInstallerSession session = packageInstaller.createSession(listener);

session.openSession();

ArrayList apks = new ArrayList();

apks.add("/dir1/dir11/dir116/pkg1.apk");

apks.add("/dir1/dir11/dir116/pkg2.apk");
