By default Google has disabled installing apps from unknown sources on Android smart phones. Google lets you just install apps from Android Market(now known as Google Play store). When you download Android apps from other Android market or websites and trying to install the apps on your Android phone, such as Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola, Lenovo, Huawei, Xiaomi, Sony, Google Nexus and many more, you will have to change the Android settings to allow apps from unknown sources to be installed on your mobile phone first. If you get an error message like below it means you have not allowed installation of non-Market apps on Android phone.
