[android-developers] about gtalk service and Google's winter cleaning
Hi everyone! Google has announced a winter cleaning recently. http://googleblog.blogspot.jp/2012/12/winter-cleaning.html They only support those for business, government and education use from 20130130. As far as I know, Google sync android devices via C2DM and local Gtalk service. e.g. You may login with your Gmail account in Google play on a PC browser, choose a app and click install. The device which has the same account registered will receive the push from Google and begin the installation. Will this kind of behavior still be available when the winter cleaning is over? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] about gtalk service and Google's winter cleaning
THX Niko, I read this post http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/14/google-winter-cleaning/ and guess it should be some google-related apps on non-android devices stuff.

The sync service is not directly related to C2DM and GCM (the new version), it is meant for non-Android devices. Even if there is some connection it is highly unlikely that they will break their own apps (Play Store, etc.). The Play Store client is self-updating, so you can be pretty sure it will either get updated in time, or they will add an exception for Android devices. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] try to simulate install button on google play
Guys, I am trying to simulate the click of install button in google play
store on a android device.
I 've already got token via GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(context, mailAddress,
oauth2:https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive;)
and got device id , feature, xhr, offerType everything required for a
install request.
But I am getting the response below
{status:ERROR,errorCode:GAIA_USER_REQUIRED...
Could you give me some help to work it out?
my code:
HttpPost httpost = new HttpPost(https://play.google.com/store/install;);
List NameValuePair nvps = new ArrayList NameValuePair();
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair(id, my app id));
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair(offerType, 1));
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair(device, my device id));
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair(feature, home-cip-2));
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair(xhr, 1));
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair(token, token for google api));
httpost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nvps));

Re: [android-developers] Is it legal to implement APK's silent installation for commercial use?
That's sounds like a good idea, Tim But I've retrieved the install URL with tokens, but it didn't work, is that right?

Re: [android-developers] Is it legal to implement APK's silent installation for commercial use?
Thanks Kevin I've used App Brain but it seems nothing to do with simulate a user clicking INSTALL Is there an other way to simulate the click?

Re: [android-developers] Is it legal to implement APK's silent installation for commercial use?
Thanks for your reply*, *Kris My (3rd party)app was built to install apps on STOCK android via google play, What I did was link to Play store by an url like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fusepowered.google.jawsrevenge , and when user click INSTALL button the installation will begin. I am wondering if there is any way to install the app directly silently On a stock android without pushing a button. I've tried the url request send by the install button, but it doesn't work at all. the rival company, of course, they won't tell us how they can do it. thanks again On Friday, October 26, 2012 3:17:58 AM UTC+9, Kristopher Micinski wrote: On Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 6:30 AM, alex kyo kyokan...@gmail.comjavascript: wrote: Download and install apps from google play without prompt.
