I have an android app written for my company and since its a private app, it is not in the android market. I'd like to be able to have the app check periodically for an update and if there is one notify the user and start downloading / installing the update.Is there an example of something like this out there?

Anyone know if I release a test version of my app to some BETA testers without publishing it on the market, and later publish it on the market with an updated version number, if the BETA testers will then get a notification from the market that there is a new version available?
View 5 Replies View RelatedDoes an app developer need to do something peculiar in code to get a newer version of an uploaded app to show up in the notification bar on installed users' phone?I am reading comments that vary wildly and I can neither determine if the message content I am reading is relevant or current.With the pace of change in Android, perhaps we should filter messages older than a year from results? :)
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am curious about the procedure for updating an app that was acquired off the market. Do you simply install over your existing app? And if so, what happens to your existing data?Is there a way to tie your installed apps to the market, so it can automatically check for updates? Any information is appreciated.
View 2 Replies View Relatedis there a setting somewhere on the phone that controls how often the phone will check on the market for updates to apps you already have installed? If not, what is the default, as in how often does the phone check?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs anyone else getting what appears to be duplicate update notifications in the market?This has been happening to me for the last 2 days for Astro File Manager, and Panda Home.I have the latest versions installed.Yet the market tells me there's an update available.When I look at the version number of the update, it's the same as what I have and when I install it, the version numbers wind up being the same.Is this really an issue, or are the authors really throwing new apk's up there with the same version number? Or is there some 'minor' version number they're updating that isn't visible to me, and there really are small tweaks in the update?Curious if anyone has seen multiple updates for these in the last few days, and whether anyone knows what's really going on.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have recently updated about 10 apps manually that I already had on my G1, since I saw them relisted in the market (again) but higher up on the "by date" tab.This system is horrid.If a user has an app and a new release comes online it should not only notify the user it should offer to auto update and the first screen that pops up should be a release notes screen so we know why it was updated and what to look for.Another more minor annoyance is that devs seems to lose track of download counts and comments in new vers. This is much more minor, but useful to both the community and the device.If anyone from Android peeks in here, hopefully this makes a list of suggested improvements.
View 9 Replies View RelatedOn Tuesday, I released my first app to the Android Market. Since then I found a few bugs which I have fixed and uploaded a new version.In the Developer Console, it still shows the version number as the original (v0.8.0) but the last version uploaded is different (v0.9.0).If I check the market on my phone, then the update is not even showing.How long before they show?Can I check if there are any errors with my upload process? Does a different filename for the apk matter?

View 4 Replies View RelatedNot sure what's going on... HTC EVO 3D. Can grab apps from the market on the phone just fine, but when I go to the market on the PC it says it will install, but it just never happens.
Also have an AV app on the phone that I can control from the PC, but when I change settings on the PC it never happens on the phone.
It's like the phone has a firewall, blocking all things coming from outside.
Tried both of these on another family phone and they work fine, so I don't see how it could be the PC or the cell phone company.
The phone is not rooted and it is not sleeping when I try to push the app. It is only a few days old so has very little installed on it.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the AV app. I power cycled the phone.
i remember on my touch pro with XDA, the market automaticly notified me about app updates as soon as they happen, and that hasn't happend once on my EVO i have had to manualy check everytime, i have the settings set to notify. is there something i am missing?
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy Evo has been selectively updating my apps for the last two weeks.10 total so far. The market version I have is 1.82 and according to the market troubleshooting page the current version is 2.07 for anyone OVER Android 1.6. So is that my problem? I know its supose to auto update but I tried to force it by doing what the troubleshooting page says and nothing, still on 1.82. The only thing that seems to fix this is to uninstall then install it like its new. I've already lost progress on one game and don't feel like doing that again. Any suggestions? Sprint is no help cuz its a market issue.
View 10 Replies View RelatedEvery so often when I'm updating applications from the market, they fail to install after downloadIng completely. I install them again and it works, but the initial update doesn't work. Why is it doing this? The download location? I do have a sd card in the incredible from my previous phone, the droid, would that be the problem? What can I do to update apps without having to worry about redoing each failed install? I'm not rooted. Should this thread be moved? I am running froyo 2.2 version from droid world.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy aTrackDogSD tells me 14 apps have newer versions out but when It directs me to the appropriate market page for the app it just shows "open" "uninstall" NOT update. Where as it should prompt to update I have auto update enabled and the version in the market is newer than the version of my app. SO that meens I would have to uninstall each app then reinstall to acquire the newest version correct?

View 3 Replies View RelatedQuick question about android market application updates. If I have an app on the market and release an update, is there a way to ensure that the users download the new update?I.e. Does the app tells the user there is an update, or does it stop working until they download an update?Or should I be writing code in my apps to stop working after a fixed period thus forcing the user to download the new version?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was trying to check the market for any available updates and noticed that its not working. It will only show one app in the start up screen and when I go to the download folder it says it is empty. I just used the market earlier today and it worked fine anyone else having this problem?
View 5 Replies View RelatedOne thing I noticed with the market is it seems to periodically check for updates, but it doesn't seem to check that often. It seems like the Market application waits for a group of apps to get updated at once before it notifies you, or it seems to only check for updates on a certain day where app updates are rolled out onto the Android market (similar to PSN/XBL updates)
how to force the Market application to check for updates to my apps? I was thinking maybe going to the Market app in the system settings and clearing cache/data, but I was wondering if there's some other way to do it.
Is there problems with the market again? I have just purchased an app and it is not downloading. Updates not working either. Just like the other day.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm rooted and I have a lot of app updates, but I'm getting constant fcs from the app market to update. Is it a root issue or a google/android issue ? I got a droid by the way.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIt used to be the market would separate apps that were approved for auto update from those that had disabled auto update set. One could then simply hit the Update All (for the group) button and it would update ONLY the apps that were auto update enabled. Over the past few months Play Store has changed their behavior in that it no longer separates the apps and will only enable auto updates for everything or nothing.
How can I hide or otherwise prevent these few apps that I do not want to update from being in the play store update list? As it is now, I have to selectively update each individual app from the list, skipping the few apps I do not want updated.
Currently on a Samsung GS3, rooted, stock.
Not sure if anyone has noticed or if its just my phone.Im running the OTA2.1 rooted with the Aloysius Rom(has happened with other roms also) and it seems like every app that i have installed through Astro Manager doesnt show/update in the market.is anyone else having this problem whether your phone is stock or rooted?

Anyhow - I need to know if there is some way to push data to the phone from a server. I'd prefer to avoid using SMS to push (user charges), or constantly polling the server (lets see, every 5 seconds = 12 times a minute, 720 times an hour, over 17000 a day)
How push works, and why my gmail on my hero is not a true push email even if it takes less than 5seconds for an email to arrive after being sent.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a strange problem with Push email on my HTC Desire. I can set this up no problem - email comes in but only manually. I cannot get the push to actually work. When I go into the send receive schedule I can set up the days/hours for peak off peak and push but regardless of what I set these to be, when I go back to the previous screen it always says the Schedule is Manual. I've tried setting up lots of variations from manual through timed to push but still the same. Net result is push never seems to happen - manual overrides my schedule. To pick up email I have to go into email and do a manual sync.
View 15 Replies View RelatedI have an app that was installed via Android Market. And so, the Android Market knows when new versions are out and notifies me of an update. Titanium Backup calls this the 'Market Link', not sure what else it could be called.
how would I go about 'disconnecting' the app from the Market? Deleting the market link as if it were side-loaded?
Yes, I know this means no more updates for the app etc. Which is actually what I'm after.
I'm using a SGS - DocRom V9.6 with Speedmod Kernel k13a
Doing some investigating and having troubles find specifics or how to raise issues. I send WAP push message to handsets yet have been testing the android handsets yet they are not recieving them. All versions of Android are affected. Other devices platforms dont have any issues "WinMo, Symbiam list goes on" Wierd thing I have tested it on a an HTC running Android with Sense UI and messages are received. What I would like to know if possible is anything happening to these messages or Could the device be intercepting it and trying to interprt in another applicatiuon? Could the device be recieving these messages yet not know what to do with them discard them? I have tried the dirreferent versions of WAP yet none work. Is there a module inside android not turned on. How would I request a change for android "if thats even possible"
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question about WAP PUSH SMS on Android. In Mobile device, if you want to receive a WAP PUSH SMS, you need to degrade the SMS security policy level. Then you can acturally receive it. But I have no idea about how to do this on Android? I try to modify the androidmanifest.xml that contains "android.permission.RECEIVE_WAP_PUSH" and change the permission from dangerous to normal. But there is too many androidmanifest.xml, I don't know where the exact path I should be modify? Does any one know how to do that or my thought is wrong?
