I want to implement the versioning feature for my application manually. For that I intend to compare the application version currently installed on the device and the application version present on android market. I can get the installed application's version using PackageManager , but how to find out the version of the application on the android market programatically ?

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).

View 11 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 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.
Two days ago, we uploaded a new version of the full version of our app (SpecTrek) to the market. Improvements include support for QVGA and WVGA screens.
We changed nothing in the "Developer Console" (Language: en_US, "All locations" selected).
Now we have received the first complaint of a Droid user who cannot find the full version on the market. The light version (that has not been upgraded yet) can be found ok. The good news is that the light version seems to work on the Droid, something we couldn't really test (except for some simulator runs on 2.0).
So presumably we did something stupid in the upgraded version. I can only assume it must be something in the manifest, as it seems unreasonably to assume the market software looks at anything else in the apk.
The only change in the manifest (besides versionCode/versionName) is the following:
CODE:.....................
There is also a "uses-sdk" entry, but that didn't change: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" />
Is there anyone with a Droid that can verify the full version is not available to them (searching for 'SpecTrek' should find both the light and full versions)?
I just installed the new version of AdFree from the market and they finally got rid of the annoying bug that made it a pain to update (for those that don't know it blocks most ads in rooted android phones). Just a heads up to my fellow adventurers in Rootland...

When the user install this application it needs to check whether another application (XYZ) already installed or not. If not let the user know they have to install the application XYZ first before installing ABC.
