Android :: Open Apk File After Downloading For Auto Update?
Aug 25, 2010
I have an application that I'd like to add auto-update functionality (its not in the marketplace). I have all the code in place that would check to see if there is an update available and then i call something like this: Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW ,Uri.parse(Configuration.APK_URL)); c.startActivity(intent); which starts downloading the file, although is there a way that I can programatically tell it to "open" the file to begin the installation process without the user having to go to the downloads and clicking on it?

So one of the cool things about Froyo is being able to check off Enable Automatic Update for market apps. So i have that checked off for like 80+% of my 80+ apps (that took a while to do let me tell you). Now i have had three apps have updates available since i checked off the box, yet they never actually automatically updated. I waited, hours, still never updated. Is there a setting i need to modify? Do i need to tell it what time of day to do it? Anyone else noticing this? I only really want it in apps that i don't care about reading the new features. But it is annoying that i have it enabled and it does nothing.

How come this is the only file manager on the market (that I've found... I went through quite a few) that can open an HTML file from your SD card? I was a loyal user of Estrogen until I found that it couldn't.

I'm a novice user writing my first android application. I have the need to upload a file to a webserver from the device. I googled enough before joining this forum and not at one place did I find a suitable solution. I would like to know how to launch the file browser when user clicks on the "Browse" button to upload a file.

Create a sample application with two launcher icons.
For example, two components such as:
CODE:..................
Either install the application via downloading from the Marketplace, or via AppInstaller. When the message box asks you if you would like to run the application, an exception is thrown:
CODE:.................
The crash happens because com.android.internal.app.ResolverActivity is trying to find a (single) component which resolves the following intent: <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
Has been tested BOTH with the AppInstaller, and the actual Marketplace on a real device.

I just got a Motorola Droid Bionic and it is my first Android device.
Is there a setting I can adjust so that text messages (SMS) will automatically open when received, as opposed to manually dragging down the notifications bar, etc?

I have to download a file and I'm using this code, which is basically an AsyncTask that is meant to update a progress bar. But, since I don't know what's the file size I've been having to use the spinner progress bar. So, how can I get the file size before start downloading it so that I can use a normal progress bar?

Ever since the upgrade to Jellybean 4.3 (I've got a Samsung Galaxy S3), my messaging app doesn't auto-open to the last sender when I swipe it from the lock screen. Instead, it goes to the previous sender, which can be annoying if you're not paying attention and you reply to that sender instead of the one with the new message.
How do I change that back to the way it was?

I've got the following code:
BufferedInputStream stream = new BufferedInputStream(new URL("my url that points to a binary file").openStream(), 1024 * 1024); BufferedOutputStream fos = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(downloadFile)); byte buf[] = new byte[1024 * 1024]; int numBytesRead; do { numBytesRead = stream.read(buf); if (numBytesRead > 0) { fos.write(buf, 0, numBytesRead); } } while (numBytesRead > 0);

I have an issue with Google Talk auto logging in after open the program. I went into settings and unchecked auto login. It's logged in to an email address I don't want to use. Is there a way for me to switch it to another one or be able to choose between the two of them? Is the auto login a glitch? By the way it's on my HTC Incredible.

I have alot (and I mean ALOT) of apps on my Xperia, so I get around 5 app updates a day, which is now starting to agitate me because most of them are the same apps everyday needing updates.
Today I heard about an update for the market that includes an auto update feature for installed apps. But I, like many others, do not see this option on the market.
Does anyone have any idea how to get it? or if I can't get it, when can I?

If an app needs to download some critical data (without the data it cannot function) of several MB, what is the best practice? The app would start, a prompt would be shown to confirm download, download would commence, and the user would be prevented from going further until the download successfully completes. I don't expect the download would take more than, say, 10 secs over wifi but, of course, would take much longer over 2G. Is a service absolutely essential for this? Maybe there is already some code out there that takes a URL, downloads it in a service, and broadcasts a configurable Intent when the download has completed?

I am looking for a way to automate my Android phone connecting to an SSH server when the phone connects to an unsecured wifi network. My understanding is that this is adequate to keep my traffic from being sniffed by DroidSheep (Android), FireSheep (Windows), or other packet sniffers.
I'm using this guide to connect my Android phone to the SSH server: link HERE
Is the Tasker app the best way to do this?
- if yes: how do I trigger the launch of the SSHTunnel when the trigger event (connection to unsecured wifi network) occurs?
- if no: what is a better way?
Note: I did a search for SSH (link HERE) and did not see anything covering this.

I have a Service that downloads a file from the internet. What I want is for the response (an InputStream in this case) to be handled by a custom handler that can be switched (like a strategy pattern) but I can't figure out how to do this. So basically the User of the API would be able to plug in different handlers for the response, some would parse XML, others might save files etc. I realise I could pass through the activity context and execute the method from this (given some interface) but I don't want to do this obviously, in case the Activity is closed in the meantime while the file is still downloaded.
UPDATE - I just had one idea it will work sort of but has problem if the DownloadRunnable gets changed between executions of the downloads.
The modified Runnable interface
interface DownloadRunnable {
void run(InputStream stream);
}
An enum
public enum ServiceHandler {.......................

I am having a problem where my XML files are slow to load and don't finish downloading before they start to be parsed which throws an xml not well formatted exception from my parser showing that the file downloaded incompletely. The complete error from logcat is "ERROR/Error(323): errororg.apache.harmony.xml.ExpatParser$ParseException: At line 10, column 46: not well-formed (invalid token)" I know the xml file is correct because sometimes it will work and I can also pull it up in my browser and look at it.
What would be the best way to make the parser wait for the InputSource before continuing on and parsing the xml data? The code below is the code I use to get the file and parse it.
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
GradeHandler gradeHandler = new GradeHandler();
xr.setContentHandler(gradeHandler);
URL url = new URL("https://url/to/xml/file");
HttpsURLConnection ucon = (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();
ucon.setHostnameVerifier(new AllowAllHostnameVerifier());
xr.parse(new InputSource(new BufferedInputStream(ucon.getInputStream())));

I have been having some major problems with my EVO regarding the data. If I use anything that is on the heavy side of bandwidth, like downloading a file from android marketplace, surfing the web, watching sprint tv, using the GPS, etc...the data will just time out for about 3 min at a time. For instance if I am downloading a 5mb app from android marketplace, it will maybe download a megabyte, then it will just stop downloading. If you look at the 3G symbol at the top, it will be white, but only the upstream indicator will be on. I can then open any other internet application on the phone, and nothing will work. It usually lasts for about 3 minutes at a time and happens fairly regularly. It will end up taking me 15-20 min to download a 5mb file from the marketplace. Same thing if I browse a bandwidth heavy site like digg.com. It will just time out after a while and it will just show the upstream indicator as solid and not do anything in any program.
This problem is not location dependent. I have this issue at my apartment, at work, at my friend's house, at the Sprint store...anywhere. I live in South Denver.
In chronological order, this is what I have done to troubleshoot/fix the problem:
First noticed problem
Turned off phone/Turned back on
Rooted and installed custom version of 2.1 w/ Sense
Removed battery (power cycle)
Talk to Sprint cust care. They sent signal over that reactivated the phone (2x)
Did factory reset on phone and formatted SD card
Swapped phone at Sprint store with new one
So even after swapping my EVO with a new EVO from the Sprint store and not fooling with the phone at all, I am still having the same exact issue.
I am absolutely at wit's end with this and I have no idea what to do at this point.
Update (6/25):
I have not been able to test with Wifi yet, but I just had one of my coworkers that has the same phone to replicate the issue on his phone. He is having the same exact problem as me, he just didnt realize it.
We set our phones next to each other and downloaded Space Buster 3D Lite off the Android Marketplace. Mine crapped out about 2mb in and so did his. He wasnt able to surf or do anything else on his phone for a few minutes just like mine.
I'm wondering if this a network problem in our area or if there is a problem with the phone.
Also, I downloaded a continuous ping program and did 3,000 pings with no packet loss, so it seems to only happen with heavy data usage ie. saturating your bandwidth.

I noticed a file was downloaded to my Samsung Galaxy S2 whilst the phone wasn't in use with the screen off and locked. I've attached a screenshot of the download to show the file name.
The same file was downloaded again approximately ten minutes later, again without instruction.I then ran AVG which didn't identify anything (the Settings Security Issue is having USB Debugging switched on)..I recently restored my applications using Titanium Back Up after flashing a new ROM.
