Auto App Updater

Deprecation notice

This library is no longer actively maintained. If you are looking for similar libraries, consider using AppUpdater.

Library Info

An Android library that allows for easy updating of the app through endpoints such as GitHub, JSON, XML etc.

This works by getting the version info and APK download link from the desired endpoints, and downloading them to a set location on the device. The package installer app is then opened to installed the APK that we had just downloaded. The next time the updater is triggered, the old APKs would be deleted.

The main flow of the process would be as follows:

  1. Create a Builder of the AutoAppUpdater instance
  2. Set the update type and update version (through setUpdateType and setUpdateVersion)
  3. Set the UpdaterDialog that will be shown
  4. Add from existing Endpoints or add your own custom ones
  5. Call Builder.build() to build the AutoAppUpdater instance
  6. Call updater.run() whenever you wish to start the update check for the app

The bulk of the documentation can be found in the wiki.

Installation

This library is available in JCenter and Maven Central. To install, you would need to include the following into your project/build.gradle:

implementation 'com.pcchin.auto-app-updater:auto-app-updater:1.0.3'

Test endpoints

Certain repos are created on GitHub, Gitea and GitLab to test whether the endpoints are working. Feel free to use them for testing purposes.
