Hi I understand that most android application don't need to contain any update logic as this is handled by the android market application , but in my case I' m supposed to write code to do just that . The idea is to check the company 's website for updates , and in the case there is one available receive back a link to download the apk . Then if the user agrees to update the application , use the android browser to download the application and automatically start installing it. So far I've found no way to automate this, currently after the download is over the installation begins only when the user clicks the apk in the list of downloaded files .
I know that the only way to install an application is through the Package Installer (to ensure the user is informed and agrees about it) , but I can't make it start after the download is over . After a lot of struggle I've come to the conclusion that only by accepting this compromise I can achieve a "custom" update , even if I'm still far away from putting the pieces together . The super solution would be a behavior similar to the one of android market application ! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
