So as of Android 1.1 (which almost everyone has been running for the past few months), the Market app automatically checks for updates without any extra work on the developer's part. It shows a notification to the user, something like "3 updates available" and the user can choose which ones to upgrade.
You could also roll your own update checking if you'd like, and several developers have open-sourced small libraries to help with this. j On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 4:41 PM, Filipe Abrantes <filipe.abran...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I heard from some users that they need to check the Market updates.
