"I have downloaded a TV app with my Android phone network that is an APK file. When I connected my Android phone to the television and only found that the television couldn't recognize the phone at all. I realize that the only way to play the APK file on television is to transfer it from my Android phone to an SD card and then I can insert the SD card to my television to copy the APK file from SD card to the TV set. But, is it possible to copy Android data to an SD card?" -- Ben
