Please add a method for running a block of code after the update, there are 
numerous ways to implement.  To be honest the only problem I see is 
implementation.  In my library I use an event dispatcher so if it was up to me, 
i would want an event to trigger that i can input any code I want in that 
block, but I don't think thats something you could do.

Maybe something like a start and stop such as

AutoUpdateAPK.startAfterUpdate();
//do my code
AutoUpdateAPK.endAfterUpdate();


There is probably a better way, but I can't think of it.

The reason I would want to do this, is so possibly I could add a dialouge popup 
after the update that advises users of the changes (release notes).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Login to the account 
2. 0 bytes available in Bandwidth Qouta
3. It suggest to increase the qouta

What is the expected output? 
I should 1GB Bandwidth Qouta

What do you see instead?

Please provide any additional information below.

I am using same device for developing and testing. 

Lets say latest version is 1.3 on Applications. But I started developing 1.4

This happens when i execute app:

1) Launch 1.4
2) Check for update
3) Different apk found (1.3)
4) Download and execute old apk

I will never be able to develop my app without commenting auto-update.

It would be good if downgrading is disabled.
Thank you

Currently the periodic update is scheduled after a connectivity change 
broadcast is received. This leads to situations when the periodic update is not 
run at all.

I have refactored the code, so when the updater is created is checks for update 
(without force), checks for connection and registers periodic update if 
necessary. If connection change occurs, it resets the periodic update as 
previous.

We need our app to only update in off hours. We would like to specify this time 
on the auto update server.

1) upload an apk
2) specify a time range 
3) app checks for updates and does not see there is one available unless it is 
checking durring the time range specified.

Please provide any additional information below.

1. Does it require the device to be rooted. If yes then can you tell how we can 
do this on non rooted devices

Please support the ability to adjust the kind of notification that is currently 
showing up.  I believe the current settings are AUTO_CANCEL | NO_CLEAR.

Please provide flexibility for this (i.e., personally I want the user to be 
able to clear the notification in case they are busy and do not want to be 
updated at the current time).

Thank you.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I logged into system from some shared machine to upload application.
2. After logging-in into portal when i tried to logout, I couldn't see logout 
button


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
1. There should be logout button, which would cleanly logout user from portal.

PFA screen shot.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. uppload a version of your software
2. change the version name completely, save, and upload as latest apk 
3. The new apk is not listed as the active download, it seems it is going by 
version name not version code, nor the order in which the application is 
uploaded.  

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect when I upload a new version it will always be the latest, active, 
version.  Instead I see a version from 2 weeks ago still showing as active, and 
my new version is halfway down the list.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
latest. win 7x64

Please provide any additional information below.

From what I read in the checkUpdateTask class, if a their is an update 
available, the app will always download the new package.  Even if it has 
successfully download it on the last check.  

(First gets "have update" from server, then HttpGets the file. I didn't see 
anything that prevents the download again.)

How about adding the MD5 checksum of the file as part of the "update required 
message".  Then the app can check to see if the file on the disk matches what 
is on the server, and skip the download.

(Our app is running in a bandwidth scarce environment, so each download counts.)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Upload should complete successfully.

APK size is just over 2 MB and I am able to upload a < 300 KB APK but not the 2 
MB file.

This is probably more user training than an issue, but I don't see a forum or 
anywhere to ask questions or get help other than here...so I will post.

I have developed a library throught a project in eclipse that i use with most 
of my apps.  Instead of adding your source files to each project, i just added 
it to the library instead.  Now I am getting these "null update" issues.  In my 
logcat I see the following complaint "unable to find application label".   Here 
is my logcat output:

05-23 11:41:16.058: W/AutoUpdateApk(3866): unable to find application label

I would really like to avoid having to the source files in every application.

Please advise

We have our own logging framework, it would be great if the logging in this 
library was all centralized in a method that we could override and plugin our 
own stuff without changing the code in your base classes.

We would like to be able to publish our new APKs from within our maven build. 
We could even do this with curl or something like that.. Could you document the 
urls and params required to achieve this?

Please provide any additional information below.

I HAVE UPLOADED THE NEW VERSIONS TO THE APPLICATION, BUT THE APPLICATION IS NOT 
AUTOMATICALLY UPDATED IN THE DEVICE. I ALSO FOLLOWED ALL THE GUIDELINES AS YOU 
MENTIONED IN YOUR WEBSITE.

The constructor of AutoUpdateApk is package private, so I'm unable to construct 
it inside my activity.

A simple change can be found on the attached commit.

Also the project is not marked as an android library which is also included in 
the commit.


https://github.com/masconsult/auto-update-apk-client/commit/a8e9e8933b7a47cf802d
fd1435675699c68afdea

When an update is available instead of installing the new package, the 
following error message appears:

Parse Error:
There is a problem parsing the package.

The notification works fine but after pressing "Select to Install" it fails. 
Installing the new package manually, either via the download link 
http://www.auto-update-apk.com/download/<app-name> or via eclipse, works fine.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Added a new APK with higher version number.
2. Version number is 47, last version number was 46.
3. App gets updated on device. The downloads count gets incremented but not in 
sync.
4. Number of downloads count (n*5) is very much higher than number (n) of 
devices updated.
5. Below is the track of no. of devices updated, download counts and traffic 
quota available.

v47(devices)        Downloads            Traffic Quota available
346                  1414                         868.0 MB

352                  1434                         763.9 MB   
409                  1673                         0 MB

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
* The no. of downloads should be equal to no. of devices got updated but this 
is not the case. The no. of devices updated is 409 but the total no. of 
downloads in 1673 (huge difference).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
* Android

Please provide any additional information below.
* Consider a scenario where in the app is getting updated and the phone/device 
gets switched off in between, will the download count increment & traffic quota 
available decrease?
* Can you provide us with dashboard/logs to check which devices got updated and 
when, did the download stop in between due to some reason and much more details 
which will help us understand what is going wrong.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Build project

What is the expected output? 
Successful build

What do you see instead?
Error on line 198 AutoUpdateApk.java

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

It is no need to add @Override annotation when implementing interface methods ))

If your APK filename contains any illegal characters -- ie: mine has a space -- 
You will receive an uncaught exception in the "doInBackground".

I personally have not found a solid answer since URLEncoder is not meant to 
encode the whole URL just the query string. I personally programmatically 
replaced the space with a properly encoded space. So an exact solution is still 
to be discovered.

P.S.: I'm an amateur Android Developer so forgive me for my lack of knowledge.

P.S.S: I guess the simplest of answers would be to just use a filename without 
illegal characters in the first place. Maybe your website should make this 
check.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Update the version # in the manifest
2. Upload a new version to the website

ICS and JB

Please provide any additional information below.
The update happened a couple of times but I had several new versions but I 
can't really reproduce the scenario where the update happened successfully. 
Here are the changes to the constants I made in AutoUpdateApk.java since I am 
in debug/testing mode:

API_URL = "http://www.auto-update-apk.com/download/com.example.kaupdate";
UPDATE_INTERVAL = 4 * MINUTES;
WAKEUP_INTERVAL = 2 * MINUTES;

Are you restricting updates to occur once every 3-4 hours?

It would be nice if I can see which mobile device which version has and when 
the last update-check was.

A method to check if there is an update available, but not actually run the 
update.  This would give the developer more control of the application.  i.e. 
the dev could run a method to check if there's an update and if there is...put 
up a dialogue that advises the user and asks if they want to update or not.  or 
maybe a popup that tells them they will be updated in 10 seconds unless they 
cancel, the options are endless.  But a way for the dev to tell there's an 
update internally inside the application is very useful.

general question, we uploaded a new version but the previous one is still 
active?

push link (https://www.push-link.com/index.html) has a "ninja" mode where 
rooted devices can be updated silently... this would be really handy for our 
clients.

The exceptions in the source are logged with printStackTrace() instead of using 
the logger.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compile the library into a jar file
2. Add it to a project in eclipse built from Unity. 
3. Add in the needed lines as the tutorial suggest in the onCreate

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected to see updates fired but instead seems to have some problem with the 
getting the application context. 

This appears in the logcat:

Good afternoon, first of all like to apologize for the translation, because I 
used the google translator.
My name is Mark Angelo, I implemented a class autoUpdateAPK in my system, I put 
my file. APK http://www.auto-update-apk.com/ site as required by rule. So it's 
time to upgrade, so cast the log appears below the MESSAGES hugs. Follows the 
code and implemented the logcat.

            }
        });
    }

Making the project a library project would allow users to simply add it to 
their existing app without having to modify the auto-update-apk-client project 
itself -- especially useful for people using it as a git submodule.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. go to http://www.auto-update-apk.com/apps
2. upload a new version of your application
3. look for icon

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the application icon should be displayed, instead i see a weird, cannot display 
style of image

The app will be closed and updated to the latest version. And re-start it again.
But now sometimes it will be closed and show the desktop. It is not too 100% do 
what it supposed to be. It will be closed and show the desktop.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v1.7, Android 4.0.4, Rikomagic MK802II

Please provide any additional information below.
If i don't use the silenceupdate, my app will keep playing more than a week 
without close or crashing.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.go to the source page here http://code.google.com/p/auto-update-apk-client/
2.How to use AutoUpdateApk
Basically you have to change only 2 (two!) lines in your project and include 
the AutoUpdateApk.java class somewhere in the source three.
3. Examine snippet above from the main source page...in the last line, i 
believe "three" is supposed to be "tree"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expect to see "tree", instead see "three"

Now the updater checks for new updates based on the time intervals, and it 
might be a good idea to include the possibility to select a particular time of 
day (night) to check for updates instead of intervals, because some devices are 
better to get updated when not in use (ATM, information displays, kiosks).

Any ideas or comments?

it seems like applications are not sorted. we would prefer package name
