I have a Sony tablet running Android. I want to download apps from the Android store using a USB and my PC. I don't have WiFi. Whenever I click install it says that the app will download shortly to my advice, but it doesn't, since there is no connection. And there is no other way to download the app, it seems.
What can I do?

Google play doesn't allow apps to be downloaded to pc.

I apologize for not answering this question much earlier. :-(Although I personally have not performed this sort of tether, it is a process known to me, referred to as "reverse-tether". RT allows you to use your PC's internet connection with your Android handset/tablet/what-have-you.First, however, it may require that you have root access. Second, there are a variety of processes used to acquire root access. Third, many of these processes require at least Android 2.2 or 2.3 and up.I suggest reading
this article for more information
on how active reverse tether.
This thread on XDA forums explains in detail
how root can be activated.Personally, I prefer the instructions in the XDA forums - I found
a summary on AndroidAuthority
of this post. Unfortunately, if these processes fail to provide your tablet with WiFi, there are few options for getting it on the internet. Good luck!

It might be due to problem in internet connection of your device.So,try downloading big apps,games in location where you can get strong signals.

Hello, what I was trying to say was to download the .apk file to your computer and then transfer file from computer to memory card. Once app is in memory card, insert memory card in your tablet and run it from there.

Yes,you can as the APK file you firstly download is saved in PC and you can understand it as a installer file for Android OS.

If you have 3G version of Sony tablet,then you can get it via your carrier's 3G data connection.If you don't have 3G connectivity,then you can get apps downloaded into your PC and transferring them into your tablet and get it installed. Firstly,visit the site apktops.comchoose the app you want to get it into your tablet.For instance,I would take GO Launcher EX 2.69 Final & (HD for tablets) - http://www.apktops.com/go-launcher-ex-2-69-final-hd-for-tablets.htmlthen click on the download link below (present below after the screenshots).After getting the downloaded file,while has .apk extension,it must be transferred into your tablet via mass storage mode.Before installing apps from third party sources,make sure to allow installation from unknown sources by going to Menu > Settings > Applications and make sure “Unknown sources” is checked.Connect your tablet via mass storage mode to PC using USB cable and copy the app to a new folder .Your tablet might be having file manager preinstalled.Disconnect your tablet from PC and go to your file manager app,locate the app you saved on the folder and tap on the app and install it.It's recommended to review the permissions of the app before installing it.

I don't want to use 3rd party sites. Any other solution?

I apologize to you for not understanding your question fully.I think that you are connected to internet but the app download is not getting started in your device.This happens and you can only do is to clear the history and cache of Google Play app in your tablet by going to Settings-->Applications-->Manage applications and tap on Google Play and clear data and clear history.Keep on trying to download the app and you will succeed.My friend did this and one day he succeeded.

Hello, one possible option you have if your tablet is compatible with memory cards, is to use one to transfer files from your computer to it. Once that is done, insert memory card in tablet and install app from there.

And I do not want to download applications from third-party websites.
