App Update Request for Android App :: Check Google PlayStore for Updated Version - Download - Install Update

App Update Request for Android App :: Check Google PlayStore for Updated Version - Download - Install Update. OK. Google has made this task easy for us.

Here goes the steps:

1) Add this line of code in build.gradle file

implementation 'com.google.android.play:core:1.12.0'

2) Inside onCreate Method, write

appUpdateManager = AppUpdateManagerFactory.create(this);
appUpdateManager.getAppUpdateInfo().addOnSuccessListener(appUpdateInfo -> {
    if(appUpdateInfo.updateAvailability() == UpdateAvailability.UPDATE_AVAILABLE
        && appUpdateInfo.isUpdateTypeAllowed(AppUpdateType.FLEXIBLE)) {
        try {
            appUpdateManager.startUpdateFlowForResult(
                    appUpdateInfo,
                    AppUpdateType.FLEXIBLE,
                    this,
                    REQUEST_CODE_UPDATE
            );
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

});

3) Now add following methods

@Override
protected void onPostResume() {
    super.onPostResume();
    appUpdateManager.registerListener(installStateUpdatedListener);

}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    appUpdateManager.unregisterListener(installStateUpdatedListener);
}

private InstallStateUpdatedListener installStateUpdatedListener = state -> {
    if (state.installStatus() == InstallStatus.DOWNLOADED) {
        // Prompt the user to complete the update by restarting the app
        appUpdateManager.completeUpdate();
    }
};

// Handle the result of the update
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, @Nullable Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

    if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_UPDATE) {
        if (resultCode != RESULT_OK) {
            // If the update is cancelled or fails, request the update again
            // Retry logic or notify the user about the failure
        }
    }
}

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {

    if (drawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
        drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}

public void goToPlayStore () {
    try {
        startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + getPackageName())));
    } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

4.  In Build.gradle File (App Level), add following dependencies

implementation 'com.google.android.play:app-update:2.1.0'

implementation 'com.google.android.play:core:1.12.0'

5. In settings.gradle file add
dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

You are done.
