Abstract: An electronic device receives an installation request of a user. In response to the installation request, the electronic device downloads an installation package file of the application and stores the installation package file of the application in a shared folder. The shared folder supports access by a package manager service (PMS) with read/write permission. The electronic device invokes the PMS to obtain an address of the shared folder corresponding to the application, obtains the shared folder based on the address of the shared folder, and further installs the application based on the installation package file in the shared folder. In this way, the electronic device can obtain, based on the address of the shared folder, the installation package file stored in the shared folder.

Abstract: A screen icon operating method includes collecting user sliding operation information. The sliding operation information includes a first location, a sliding speed, pressing duration before sliding, or a sliding direction The first location is an initial location of a user sliding operation. When the first location is not located on an icon, when the sliding speed is less than a sliding speed threshold, moving icons on a display page by columns or by rows in the sliding direction, or when the first location is located on the icon, the method determines that the pressing duration is greater than or equal to a first duration threshold and less than or equal to a second duration threshold, and moves column icons or row icons in the sliding direction.
