How to open OAT file?
The main problem with Google Android RunTime Code is that the OAT file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open OAT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OAT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Google Android
In this case, you should first verify that the Google Android application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Google Android into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file OAT with Google Android. Below is a list of programs that support the file OAT.

Remember to download programs supporting OAT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Google Android with OAT files
If, despite the installed application, the OAT file does not start in the Google Android application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Google Android application as the default for handling the OAT file.
Step 3. Update Google Android to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Google Android program, it is possible that Google Android RunTime Code requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Google Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OAT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the OAT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OAT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected OAT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the OAT file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair OAT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Google Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OAT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move OAT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OAT to close. However, some background programs may block the OAT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
