And finally, the Google Play Store (com.android.vending) APK.
7. When you’re on the next screen, tap Install. You will see the name of the APK you’re installing at the upper-left corner so be sure to check you’re installing in the order we mentioned earlier. If you encounter a problem of the Install button being grayed out, try putting off your screen, and turning it on again. After this, unlock your Fire tablet, and this should cause the Install button to be orange.
