Hello everyone! I have stupid question: Is there any way to update via android market applications that are not installed from the market? I am sure many of you out there have outdated apks that needs to be updated. So you install an apk and if it is outdated, market app should find it and update with the latest version existing in the market
Like i said maybe a stupid question
If an app is on the market then it will update .If its not from the market then it will not update unless updating is built into the app .

You may need to go into Settings -> Applications and find the Market and do a "force close" and then a "clear data".
The next time you open up the market it should rebuild the list of 'installed apps'.

Hi
I flashed SenseHero 2.2 ROM which is a pretty good Android 2.1 flash. Unfortunately, it comes without Google Maps and native HTC PDF viewer. Where can I get this apps from? I could not get any answer on SenseHero forums.
Thanks.
You can download Maps from the market.
Also running SenseHero
Taken from another ROM,...

Thanks for the apk but I get "Application not installed" error even though I enabled unknown sources in application settings.
It's strange I can find Google Maps on Androlib site but it does not appear in Market search. Does Google restrict application based on client country?

Yes some countries do not get all apps. But there is something called Market Enabler,... Have a look for that.
And try these again for PDFViewer,... Put both in the same folder and then try to install again.
Let me know how it goes.

The new files give me the same error. I also tried to install Market enabler and its apk cannot be installed either. Seems like the project is outdated, the authors say they don't support the latest Market version.
I followed these instruction: http://strazzere.com/blog/?tag=pdfviewerapk which say additional libraries should be installed. After I put the libraries in the right place the application installed OK but it won't start. So I guess I will be needing the correct PDFViewer version (for Android 2.1). If anyone has it, please...
If you're like me and really don't care for the new market I thought I'd share this tip.open terminal emulator and type
Su
pm disable com.android.vending. updater
and NO more market updating itself .If you already got the update go to applications-manage-all-market-uninstall updates and boom back to the old.
Is there anything to be afraid in the new Market? I'm going to flash newer MIUI build tomorrow and I'm not sure if it doesn't already have the new Market...

MIUI has the newest Market on it. The only drawback I find is that it is a bit harder to get to your downloaded apps and that it lags a bit, because it isn't optimized for the Milestone.
I've updated Google Apps in the Recovery! But now MarketEnabler doesn't work! How I can downgrade to the old (fashion ) market?

Go to Settings > Applications > All and choose Market and select Uninstall Updates. Reboot and you should be back in the old market. OP posted it if you already received the update.

Just uninstall and install an older market. Here is a great place to find them....http://www.mediafire.com/temasek#2f5c1db3in1h5,1. Dont forget to thank Temasek....awesome developer
tempest6253 said it was due to changing screen density. I'll change it back to normal and see what happens.
If that don't work then I'll try the old market again.
I have developed an android app using android studio. Now the problem is that i won't be publishing the app to any markets eg. google play store, and so want to integrate an update function in my app, so that it periodically checks for and updated version of the app from my server and prompts the user to download and install the newer version of the app. i am really new to android coding and couldn't find anywhere how to achieve this function. The user should also be able to click a button to check for an update manually. All this needs to be done without root.
How do i code this function?
Please Help!!
