Good. You will find that when posting to public forums you will be taken
more seriously and will receive better responses when you (at least attempt
to) use proper spelling and grammar. I'm trying to help you get help, no
hostility intended.

I hope you can see how much clearer this explanation is compared to your
original question. That makes a whole lot more sense.
Well, you cannot really insert another app ("APK") within your own. You can
either:
1) Build the logic into your own app, by using the code from some open
source project.
-OR-
2) Use Android's beautiful Intent mechanism to do exactly what it was
designed to do: let you use another app to do the specific work you don't
want your own app to do in a generic way. This of course requires that the
user have such an app installed. It's trivial to check that such a thing
exists and to then prompt the user to get one if they need to.
