I was wondering if the market checks if the application can be installed on the device. For example, if I have an Android 1.6 and if I try to install an application with :"<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />" on its manifest. What will happend ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI got a few apps on my sd card that may or may not be newer than the ones I already have installed. Actually there are quite a few so I don't feel like going through and checking all the version numbers of whats installed. Is there an easier way to tell if the version on my sd card is newer than what's already installed, or do I need to go through and check all my version numbers?

I wasn't able to figure out how to extract their correspondent version information.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am developping (for my company) an app included on a project that will have 2 versions:
- 1st simple version to download using a OTA server, clients accesss to an URL to download.
- 2nd version more complex to be published on the Market.
The question here is that the process to publish on the Android Market is under bureaucratic internal process and it takes a long time, so the idea do reduce the time to market is to provide an OTA version.
There is any possibility for users that download application via OTA to upgrade the application for version published later on the Market? (Both Application will be signed with the same key).

Last week I got and update alert for Google Maps. I tried to install it and got a "Install error" "Package file not signed correctly".
What's strange about it is, I already had the version it wanted me to install. Version 3.1.2. It also doesn't show up in aTrackdog but does show in apps drawer and works fine. The market shows that I don't have it installed. All other Google apps are working and show where they should. This started before the C&D order.
Is there any way I can extract the .apk for an app I downloaded and installed from the market? So I can store the .apk on my PC
View 7 Replies View RelatedHow does one programmatically check (in Java) if a new version of a certain application has been published in the market place? The examples shown in http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/publishing.html just take you to the MarketPlace. Instead I want to check in my code if a new version of the app is published; and if so, take the user to the marketplace.

I have a folder of .apks of my programs that I use in case I need to wipe my phone, and I hate having to query the market everytime I need to re-download one of my apps.What I'd like to do is be able to generate a functional .apk file from an application I already have installed.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if I am able to detect if my application was installed with Android Market (it's in the download list of the Market and eligible for update checks) or it's not?It would be a very good point to detect if the app has been installed without, as that can mean it was stolen and installed from SDcard.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe strange thing is, the only way for me to get this update is to re-flash the phone with the RUU WWE 2.10.405.2 file, but as soon as i do a factory reset the market will no longer update to the new version, strange to say the least.Could everyone please list the country, firmware and market version, this may help to find a reason for this strangeness.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the included LVL sample app, the license check is triggered during onCreate. This means that when I click "Buy App" to launch the market, then immediately hit the back button to return to the app, the dialog is gone and another check isn't performed, leaving me with a perfectly usable app (at least until the activity is killed and the process starts over again).Would triggering the license check during onResume() be bad form, even though it would fix this issue? Is there a better solution?
View 2 Replies View Relatedfollowing on a recent topic posted here is my question- how can I find out which version of Android Market am I running? If I go to Market and press "menu" button on the phone none of the options answers to my question.
My second question is- where is the "Update all" button in the Market. I can not see it anywhere.I am running Froyo 2.2, Orange branded Desire, stock ROM.
I just uploaded a new version of my application to the Android Market and then I choose to upload an update it doesn't update the version number of the app. It is only doing this as of Cupcake.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't think this is an issue specific to my phone model. When I go into the Android Market (or Play Store) and I look at my apps it previously showed purchased apps but now it shows all the apps I've ever installed. If I want to install an app I purchased previously I have to search through all the hundreds of apps I have ever installed!
I've tried to find a resolution via Google but I keep getting results showing how to clear market search history.
Like I said, previously before I upgraded to ICS the market only showed installed apps and purchased apps that I haven't installed, now it shows every app I have ever installed and it seems to include apps I installed on my android tablet!
