APK file storing as archive type in downloads folder of device

Question

Issue: I downloaded APK file from browser using url and when I try to install this apk from device's downloads folder it opens apk as archive folder. While I am able to install apk from any third party file manager / explorer.

Can anyone suggest me what settings or issue is there?

try like this long click --> open with --> package installer — Manohar, Jan 17 '17 at 11:05
@Redman I want to install directly by single click as usually we do — hharry_tech, Jan 18 '17 at 06:16

After a big R & D I found solution I referred below link

How to download ".apk" as ".apk"? (not as ".zip")

I just added MIME type in web.xml at server end

application/vnd.android.package-archive
