Code to Update App Automatically From Google PlayStore

 

To prompt users to download App automatically from Google PlayStore as soon as an App update is available, use following code:


In build.gradle (App Level) file, Add,

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


Sync Project


Next add in you MainActivity Class( or any Activity that comes after SplashActivity, where I prefer to put this code)


Add the following code

private static final int REQUEST_CODE_UPDATE = 123;

private AppUpdateManager appUpdateManager;


Now inside onCreate() Method, add the following code


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();

        }

    }


});
