This post initially provided information on how to sideload the Netflix apk on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. However, we've confirmed that the latest Netflix app — Version 1.4.1 build 262 dated Sept. 22, 2011 — installs directly from the Android App Market and runs on DeviceGuru's Galaxy Tab 10.1 without any problems.

The following screenshot shows the Netflix app details as displayed by the Android Market app on the Galaxy Tab 10.1, following the app's installation on DeviceGuru's tablet:

Netflix video streaming on the Galaxy Tab 10.1

One additional observation: the Android Netflix app (and also the one that's currently available on the iPad 2, incidentally) doesn't have the UI sophistication and polish of the version that runs on our Boxee Box (which, by the way, is now rock-solid). It can be expected to evolve, though, as suggested by Netflix's device app development strategy.

The previous version of this post appears below. Hopefully, this process is no longer needed, but if you have any problems on your Galaxy Tab 10.1, give it a try and let us know how it goes in the comments below.

The July 20 update to the official Netflix Android app enabled users of most smartphones running Android 2.2 and 2.3 to watch Netflix videos on their devices. Although users of most Android 3.x tablets remain out in the cold, even after the September 9 update to the app, the steps outlined in this post should help Galaxy Tab 10.1 users get Netflix streaming up and running without having to root their tablets.

In the steps below, click each thumbnail image for a larger view…

1. On your tablet, go into "Settings > Applications > Unknown sources" and check the box (uncheck it later, unless you prefer to leave this feature enabled). This allows you to install an apk directly.

 

 

2. On your tablet, download the July 20, 2011 official Netflix app package from the XDA Developers forum using this link. The filename should be "com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk."

 

 

3. Now, locate the file you just downloaded using the "My files" file manager (or another file manager; I recommend ES File Explorer, if you don't have the My Files app on your tablet). The Netflix apk file should be available in the "Download" folder on the sdcard.

 

 

 

4. Tap the apk's filename, which should open up the "Package installer," as shown here:

 

 

5. Next, click "Install," and you should see a message indicating that the app is installing, followed by one indicating that the app has finished installed on your tablet, as shown here:

 

 

 

6. Click "Open" on the dialog shown in the second screenshot above, which should launch the Netflix app along with a prompt to update it, as shown here:

 

 

7. Click "OK" in response to the Netflix app's update prompt (shown above); this should bring up the Android Market screen shown below (note: click "retry" if you get an access error at first); assuming you arrive successfully at the Android Market screen shown below, click "UPDATE" to continue…

 

 

8. Next, click "OK" in response to the Android Market's "Allow access" prompt, shown here:

 

 

9. The update should install now, like this:

 

 

10. Click "See details" on the Android Market screen that follows the update, shown here:

 



11. The Netflix app details screen should show "version 1.0 build 259 September 9, 2011," as shown here:



 

12. The updated Netflix app should now be ready to run; click "OPEN" on the Android Market screen (above image) to launch the updated Netflix app. Netflix should now be prompting you with its login screen, as shown here:

 

 

Assuming everything went smoothly, you'll have a working Netflix video streaming app on your Galaxy Tab 10.1.
