You can detect that a new version is available, perhaps by periodically checking some Web site you manage. You can download the update. You can tell Android to open the update. At that point, though, the user will go through the same sort of update process as if they had found your update in the Android Market -- a confirmation screen or two before the update will be processed. If you are seeking a silent update, that's not possible by ordinary SDK applications. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.3 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
