[Solved] Best practice of updating an Android App? [closed]

by


You should update the application APK from Google play itself. But if you have files other than apk, you could update it from your server throu your appliction code.

You can intimate/notify your users about the availability and priority of the updates throu the application by cross-checking the latest version code from your server. Like –

  1. check the latest version code from your server on app start (Take care to do it in an AsyncTask)
  2. if latest version code is higher that the current version code of the apk, then notify the user.
  3. If user wants to update, open your app page in playstore using intent.
  4. If it is a critical update you can notify that the user MUST update the application.
