  Every android phone I've owned has required me to check a box hidden in the settings before I could install from outwith the Play store. My current phone gives me an additional pop-up warning that this is a security risk which I have to agree to before it will enable side-loading. Ultimately you can't completely protect users from their own stupidity. You have to make the security vs usability tradeoff somewhere.
