android apps not working on z10

I have never been able to install and after it open an android app. When I first got my Z10 STL 100-2 in december 2013 I remember i side loaded a few apps like viber but I was not sattisfied with them so i deleted them.
Since then, after every OS upgrade(from 10.2 to 10.3) android apps never worked on my phone and they were supposed to be installed directly from Blackberry world or Amazon app store (with 10.3 having it already installed).

When I try to open amazon app store (or any other android app) a window pops up but closes immediately in less than a second.

Please help, I am getting nervous about this, I do not know what to do. I have already swiped clean my phone several times.

Sounds like you need to reload the android runtime,

on your phone, go to this site with your browser http://www.amazon.com/getappstore
After that installs, open up the app store and download an app like you would at BBW.
It works just fine.

Re-loading the runtime

How can I do that? Where can I find the runtime to reload it?

I tried doing that but still doesn't work....when it asks me to save it is on my media card and when I switch to have it saved to device it shows as shaded in the "save" button so it doesn't work...I'm not clear what android runtime is...
