[android-developers] Phone does not update an app from google store
Hello, I am experiencing a strange issue with one of my customers. Their Android phone does not download updates from the google play store. They have PlayStore app configured to Auto-update apps at any time. However, even though the new update is online it would not install it for some reason. I am noticing on my own phone that some applications are not auto-updating either. I have the same setting Auto-update apps at any time. set but there are a few apps (YouTube, TeleNav GPS, Expedia app, etc.) that show up under Manual Updates in the play store app and would not update automatically. Do you know what the reason may be? Thank you. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: (Http)URLConnection.setUseCaches(false) isn't working
We are experiencing this problem occasionally on Verizon phones. We don't seem to have this issue on other networks, so it seems to be something on the carrier side. Our server does include Cache-control: no-store, no-cache in its reply header.

Kieth, was this on mobile data or on wifi (or other)? On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 7:06 AM, bob b...@coolfone.comze.com javascript: wrote: Are you using WiFi or your phone's data connection? I saw this strange issue with this Origami Iris game where it would somehow load a page from the cache if I used my MetroPCS connection. Didn't happen on Wifi though. Very weird.

At the time, it was suggested that I experiment with getUseCaches() and setUseCaches(). This has definitely not solved the problem. First of all, it does indeed appear that caching is enabled by default (as is GZipping the stream interestingly, I think I've read about this somewhere). However, setting caching false doesn't help. Not only does my app not confidently load an updated version of the file from the server, but it doesn't even detect that the file is gone from the server (if I change its name for example). Rather, the app still happily retrieves the cached version of the file, even though I'm calling setUseCaches(false). Does anyone have any thoughts on how else to fix this problem? I know there is a solution because the phone's web browser app (actually, I'm using Dolphin) properly loads the server version of the file every time. Once again, I don't mean to bring this up on an Android forum if it really isn't an Android issue...but I'm not sure whether the problem is coming from the Android system for some reason (I'm not sure whether I should expect my code to work in any other Java environment, just not Android). Where else might the cache be coming from if the URLConnection's useCaches variable is definitely false (verified as I step over setUseCaches(false) in the debugger)? I'm sorry if this is off-topic, I appreciate any help. Here's how I load the file: String address = httpUrlOfFileOnMyWebserver; URL url = new URL(address); HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); if (conn.getUseCaches()) conn.setUseCaches(false); InputStream is = (InputStream)conn.getContent()**; Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(is, UTF-8); StringWriter writer = new StringWriter(); char[] buffer = new char[1024]; for (int length = 0; (length = reader.read(buffer)) 0;) writer.write(buffer, 0, length); is.close(); reader.close(); writer.close(); String fileStr = writer.toString(); -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: How do I keep corporate app (not in any store) updated?
The most straightforward way is to periodically poll the server to see if a new update is available. Then just point the browser to the location of your apk file Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); i.setData(Uri.parse(http://your.site.com/yourAppFile.apk;)); startActivity(i); On Thursday, August 16, 2012 4:56:30 PM UTC-4, Jon Helms wrote: I have done some searching and haven't found anything, so I must be searching wrong, but since I didn't find anything I'm at a loss of what to do other than post here and ask. I am developing a corporate application that once released our employees will be able to install from our portal. Aside from final testing and such the only thing left is figuring out how we keep it up to date without using Google Play or Amazon AppStore. I'm sure others have done this and I have done it on desktop apps before, I'm just curious if there are some really straightforward ways of doing this for Android. We don't want it in the store because we don't want anyone to be able to find it that isn't an employee. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Google Play Application Device Compatibility
Hello! I have developed an Android app that allows user to make phone calls (using Intent.ACTION_CALL) and receives commands via SMS (I have a broadcast receiver for android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED action). Consequently I have android.permission.CALL_PHONE and android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS permissions defined in my manifest file. The issue is that my application is showing up as unavailable for some tablet devices, namely Samsung Galaxy Tab 10. Interestingly enough it is available for Galaxy Tab 7. I removed permissions from my manifest file and narrowed it down to these two: RECEIVE_SMS and CALL_PHONE. The ting is that the tablet can accommodate SIM cards and is able to receive SMS. I just have to enable Unknown sources in Settings and download the application from the web. Is there a way to somehow force device compatibility in Google Play? Google Play is much more convenient for end users then having to download manually. Also, what is a good way to handle the issue of device compatibility? Do I have to have a separate build for different groups of devices? The problem is that it will confuse the users if they see more then one version of the app available for their device.
