Android :: Market Search And Top Free / Paid Result Order?
Dec 17, 2009What determines the market search result order?
It doesn't seem to be downloads or rating.
The Top free/paid listing does not make much sense either...

Android :: Application Not Showing Up Search Result In Market
Aug 26, 2010I have uploaded an application in Android market. But when I search for the app the app do not appear in the autocomplete box which appears below the search box. For example, if I type "h" in the search box the autocomplete box will have the applications with "h". But in my case I need to type the complete name of the application.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: New Application Listing Order In Market Search
Sep 24, 2010Before today, when entering a search term into the Market app, the results at the top of the search would all be exact matches of that search term against the app name. For example, type "translate" and the user will see all the apps called "translate" before the "Google Translate" result (which is by far the most downloaded translate app). Now, this no longer happens. If you type "translate" the first result is "Google Translate" (and no preference is given to exact matches).
Note: posted on this forum partly because hardly anyone reads Android Discuss, and partly because developers need to know how their apps are being prioritized in app search results).

Feb 22, 2010this question is now obsolete, as Android Market includes much more countries and such services as PayPal Mobile Payments Library are available.I'd like to sell my Android application, but I live in Poland and in my country* Android Market supports only free apps (we cannot sell and we cannot buy too).What is the best way to sell application in such situation? I can accept PayPal money transfers, but I don't know how to distribute APK package without exposing it to getting pirated. Did someone tried it already and succeeded? you may be surprised, paid apps are supported only in 12 countries worldwide.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How To Convert Free App To Paid App?
Mar 4, 2009From what I learn, a developer cannot convert his FREE app to a PAID app. I was looking out for some alternative ways to make this happen. I have an app with about 10K users. Users have their data stored inside the application. Lets call the existing FREE version com.my app I would like to sell my app for $10. How do I go about it? If I create a new application, it does not accept com.my app since it says I already have an app on the store with the same name. Create a new app: com.paid my app does not help because how do the existing 10K users get their data from FREE version (my app) to PAID version (paid my app)

HTC Incredible :: Android Market Missing Applications / Result Of Rooting?
Sep 16, 2010I rooted my HTC Incredible last week and installed the Virtuous ROM with froyo 2.2. I recently realized that after doing this there are a ton of apps missing from the android market. Even ones that I already have installed on my phone like Evernote and Google Sky Map. If I go to the downloads section of the market which should show the apps I have installed it shows none.
The verizon section of the market displays only three applications when I know there should be a whole lot more. What is going on? I cannot find any apps. When I search for something there is usually one or two apps that show up and are not even what I was looking for. Is this a widespread problem with the market or a side effect of rooting and upgrading to the virtuous ROM?
Android :: How To Release Paid Upgrade For Free App?
Oct 28, 2010Is there a way to change free app into paid app in Market? I.e. you release com.foo.xxx as free but later you'd like to charge for app and drop free version completely.. I do not see anything like this in Market console at the moment. I know I can release com.foo.xxx.pro for example but my intention would be to keep package name as is so current users would see there's upgrade available. Alternatively, if there's no way to do that can I completely remove app from market so com. would be reusable for other app?

Feb 8, 2010I currently have a free application on the market and I'd like to offer a paid version of it as well. Once the paid version is installed, I want to import the db and shared preferences from the free version so users can un install it without losing anything. The problem is this: in my free version, I don't have a android:shared UserId set. If I add one, the app's id on the system changes and I can't access the data anymore. Both apps will be signed using the same certificate. How can I import the data without messing up the permissions of the free app?

View 8 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How To Factor Code For Free / Paid App Versions?
Jan 19, 2010I have a project which I want to split into a paid and a free version. I do not care to double my management of the res/ folder and would even like the Android Manifest.xml to be the same file except for the package line. Worrying little about hacking (at this stage - my app is not copy protected anyhow so other avenues of vulnerability are already open), it might be sufficient for me to have all the logic in the free app, and to enable/disable functions based on the app's own package info. What strategies have others used in this regard? I have soft-linked the source from a new Android Eclipse project folder tree to the existing one (the new is to become the paid version and the old one will become the free one with some logic paths being conditionally stubbed at runtime), reserving the new source file hierarchy in the new one to the sole purpose of containing an My Main Activity.java file (as it will need to be in a different package- folder than the one for the free app's). But the res folder appears as though it might be more difficult.

View 11 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Free And Paid Version For Share Data
Jun 5, 2010I have a free app in the market and use the data directory of the app to store some files. Now I think about offering a paid (donate) version of the app, so that people who want to pay a few pennys will be able to do so. But AFAIK the new (paid) app needs a new name, so I won't be able to use the stored data of the free version. That means, that existing users would have to re-enter a lot of personal settings - which probably would be a no-no for a lot of users. So my question: Is there a smart way to have a free and a paid version in the market, where the later installed payed version can use the data of the free version? I thought about using the SD-card for data storage, but there might be devices without any SD-card...

View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How Licensing Work In Transitioning From Free App To Paid?
Feb 11, 2009Here's the scenario: The app is on the market for free. The publisher then decides to make it a pay app and changes the status. I'm assuming you can just do that, but my questions are:
1) Will the publishing console require us to upload a new version if it is to be a pay app, or can we just change it on-the-fly? 2) If we can change it on-the-fly, how will that affect users that have downloaded the free version? Do they get the license to the paid one as well (so they can delete but reinstall the app for free, get updates, etc?) I've finished a game but I've been just waiting for the paid apps to come on line before publishing it. I'm now thinking that I wouldn't mind a 1 week free period before going paid but something felt like the users who download it for free would never have to pay even after I change it to paid and add some sort of desirable update that makes them want to download the new version (and pay then to get it if they have to).

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Share A Database Between A Free And Paid Version Of An Application
Oct 2, 2009I have an application for which I am planning to release both a free and a paid version. I found that this will require the two versions of the application to each have different package names.
When a user upgrades from the free version to the paid version, the paid version needs to be able to access the database built by the free version. I am trying to understand the best way to make sure that upgrade does not disrupt the user's data.
I have read that the AndroidManifest file setting for shared user id should allow both applications to access the same data. I don't need the applications to both be running simultaneously, as I expect the user will uninstall the free version after upgrading to the paid version. However I need to make sure that if possible the user's data is not lost and is still accessible and usable by the paid version of the application.
I have read about a problem with the shared user id where uninstalling one application will cause the other shared application to stop working because its permissions get deleted, (see details at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2773 ) Apparently this issue is fixed in doughnut, but since all the currently deployed android phones do not have doughnut yet, this still seems like a significant problem.
In addition to the database information, I would also like to preserve the user's default shared preferences settings after the upgrade. However the default shared preference settings are not as critical as the data in the database.
