OI Update is now available on Android Market!
So, developers can now just add
to the application node of the manifest and your automatic update is
implemented.

Just found some info on how to interface with Market directly and
decided to pass it along

Apparently you can run queries against the market to get your
application URL from market directly.
Hope this helps

We also have an update notification feature in SAM. If you update you
application version at SlideME site, the user will receive a notification,
allowing them to download the new version. This does require, however, that
the user have downloaded the application through SAM.

It would be cool if google added the ability to check your version
against the market, but for the time being, I'm fine with using a
version URL as you described. But I'm still fuzzy on one thing, is
there an action available to launch the market app directly to your
product page?
Example:
-user
As far as I understand, Google plans something like this for the
future (maybe when paid apps start to become possible). For now the
developer is left by themselves.
We also initially copied an update checker routine in all of our OI
applications, but this has 2 major drawbacks:
1) It requires ea
I'm wondering about the same thing. All applications need to have a
simple ability to notify users of new versions. For me 3rd party
updaters/checkers is not an option - I can just as easily add simple
check against my web site and download new APK file directly.
A much cleaner solution is to que
So version checking needs to be done through an outside resource...
Is there an intent we can use to launch the Android Market App
directly to the listing for our own app, for when an update is
available?

Hi,
we have prepared a release version of the OI Updater. There is no need
to send intents, but developers only need to add a meta-data node to
the application manifest in order to be handled by the updater.
Early feedback welcome!

Because we use a XMPP based application, we chosed Pubsub as a way to
notify new versions to the user. The main advantage is that it uses a

been released. No timer or

Currently, relying on an external resource is the way to do updates,
this is how it is described in the documentation.
If someone is checking against Market, please let us know.

isn't there some way to check the version against the Market instead
of having to host version information somewhere else? I know the app
Locale somehow knows when an update is available, it seems reasonable
to query the Market rather than relying on outside sources :\

I'd say the package name is the global identifier.
Maybe you can just provide a VeeCheck url based on the package name
(as alternative to the app id). So I could check that url. If you
don't host an app for the package name or if it is not unique you
could return a HTTP 400.

Friedger,
How are you identifying the apps?, I'd happily add an extra field or two
to the AndAppStore.com data that you can search for if it would be useful.

The idea is that the Updater will also be able check all applications
it knows about by a single button clicked or scheduled task. So, once
the intent from one application is processed by the Update it is
possible to include this application to the periodic update.
A more general solution that i
Hi Friedger,
I've updated AndAppStore.com to provide a versionCode in the update.xml
as you requested.
At the moment anyone with applications listed will find that they can
specify the versionCode in the details about a released version (not the
application details page, the release details p
Great idea!
Hmm one feature: a service (or activity) that automatically checks all
installed apps versions :)
