Android :: Having Multiple Versions Of Same App In Market
Feb 19, 2009I am planning to have two versions of the same app available in the market - let's say "App-Lite" and "App-Advanced". They both almost the same core functionality, but App-Advanced has a bit more specific features, than the App-Lite has. Now I am thinking what would be the strategy of deploying those two apps in the market. The simple way is to provide different name space in AndroidManifest.xml for both apps, so "App-Lite" and "App-Advanced" would show up as two completely different applications and could be installed parallel on the same device. But I'm also thinking about another way of installing the App-Advanced version - like an upgrade to the App-Lite which might be already installed. To do this, I can just set the same name space for both app in AndroidManifest.xml, so after installing one app would replace the other one - I can do this from adb command line, but I'm not sure how android market would behave in this case. Will it show them as two different apps, will it show them as two different versions of the same app with the ability to upgrade from one version to another, or it just will not allow to publish two apps with the same name space? Is this scenario doable with Android Market?

Feb 18, 2009We're thinking about building light and paid versions of our app for the Market. But I am not clear what we need to do, or how to do it. (1) Do we definitely need the two versions to have different package names for the two builds ?It seems logical to do it that way, but I have not found a clear answer from Google to that question. Though I have found several people asking the same question. 2) Is there any support in Eclipse for building two similar apps with different package names from the same java and xml files ?In most of the IDEs I've used, it is a doddle to define multiple build targets for one project, but none of those mechanisms seem to be present here. And, the package name is embedded in every java file, as well as in many places in the manifest, leaving me without a tidy way to build to alternate package names.Is there a tidy way to build multiple version ? Or are we really going to end up copying the whole codebase and search-and-replacing the package name.

Android :: Manage 2 Versions Of The Same Application?
Sep 3, 2009I want to use the same eclipse project to maintain only one source code (or two projects that refer to a generic project). My problem is that the names of the package have to be different on the market (eg: my.android.app.lite and my.android.app.pro). If the package names are differents, the generated java ressource files are differents (eg: my.android.app.lite.R.java and my.android.app.pro.R.java). So, the source files must point to differents R files according to the version (pro or lite) and I have to change all the import...

Mar 27, 2010I want to create a PRO version of my application for Android and was wondering how to structure my repository. For know I have a trunk and feature branches. I'd like to put a pro version in another branch but maybe there is a better way? For example, maybe I should create two branches - one for free version, the other for pro?
Pro version will have additional features and will be ads-free, so e.g. I don't want to include AdMob libraries in the pro version. Do you have any experience or suggestions as to what would be the best way to structure the repository in this case? I think I've found the best solution (for my app) in this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/4ad3d67f735f16d7/948b4f9eee2490a3
The trick discussed there is about having another application that only serves the purpose of unlocking PRO functionality in the actual application. The unlocking app is paid in the market and the actual app merely checks for the existence of it on the device.
Android :: Building Two Versions Of Application - Best Practice?
Apr 19, 2009What is the best way to release two versions of an application? E.g. a free version with limited features, and a paid version with the full feature set. #ifdef would be the ideal way to do this, but Java doesn't support it. Could I do something like: try {import com.foo.myapplication.ExtraFeatures; } catch (Exception e) { // ignore it, this must be the free version}? I could manage with this kind of construct, although #ifdef really would be ideal.

Nov 1, 2010Right now I've finished an application that I want to distribute on Android Market. It will have a payed version and a free version with some limited features. While developing it, I was doing obviously just the main project of fully featured release. And now after finished I've included a "boolean" DEMO_VERSION=true that restrict those features. My question is if it's possible to generate both apk from the same project? Or should I create new project with the same source but changing the Java package to tell android market that they're two different applications.

Could I compile on V2.1, and then set minSDK for the application to run on 1.5? Plain logic says 2.1 specific features would not work, but let me know your thoughts. Also, what are some other workarounds? What would "you" normally do in such a situation?

Android :: Get Application ID Of My App On The Market
Feb 22, 2009I hope to figure out the direct URL link to my application on the market like http://market:blahblah
I was able to find the application ID previously by going to the UI interface to upload application, and looking at the URL link that can edit the app.
However, this method doesn't seem to work any more because the now the edit URL link contains only the package name and not the app ID.
Any idea how to get the application ID?

Oct 31, 2010Something really strange happened today and I could really use some help figuring it out. I believe its related to Google's SSO infrastructure, and I don't really know how to contact Google to get my application rescued.
I have a google apps account I used to create the application, its claytantor at sightlyinc dot com not a f...@gmail.com account but its a Google Apps account, so I used it to upload and distribute my application. Today when I was using blogger my account said "do you want to use claytantor at sightlyinc dot com or claytantor at sightlyinc dot com for this account?" what kind of choice is that they are both the same? Well my guess is that somehow I chose the one that locks me out of my Android Market account because when I went to try to upload a new version of my app it thinks I don't have an Android Market account.
Paying the extra 20 bucks wouldn't bug me but there is a version of my software out there that I cant access or manage now, and that *really* bothers me. If I create a new account I will have two versions of mys software floating around the new one and the old one that has been stranded! I cant live with that.
Android :: Changing Application Name In Market
Aug 11, 2010This has come up before, but I'm still not clear. I published my first app last night. It sunk like a stone. I want to change its name. I don't want to force the few people who have downloaded it to get an update. It seems to me that if I:
1. Change the android: label in the manifest to be the new name, and
2. Resubmit it with the same version number
Then the name in the market should change but not force an update. Is this correct?

Android :: Update Application From Market
May 5, 2009After different testing, I found an issue with the "update method" when installing an application update.
I developped "DilbertDroid", and a lot of people are saying that there is missing some functionnality but the latest version published on the market have this functionnalities.
I suppose that when updating a application, the updater doesn't kill the process related to the application but only update the application files on phone. Result: the old application is still running until you kill the process or reboot the system.
I think it is not very professionnal to tell user to deinstall and then reboot their phone in order to install an update.
My application doesn't have any service running
