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!!

Hi
is there a way to add an application that i installed manually from sdcard to the downloaded section of the market so i can see when a new version of the app is out there? or every app checks by itself? i come from winmo so i dont really know much about android
thank you
atrackdog will do this for you with one click. It will check all the apps you have install and check market for update.
thank you, great app
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 I am sure many of you out there have outdated apks that needs to be updated. So you install an apk and if it is outdated, market app should find it and update with the latest version existing in the market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'.

This app contains code that attempts to bypass
Android's security protection.
Perhaps there is no any way.
If anyone know about it please help.
Hi,
We previously used the 'rsync for android' app to backup the phone to one of our linux boxes. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that app is downloadable anymore from the store (we reset the phone). Is there a native android rsync client we can use? Believe it or not, a google search has not been very helpful (yet).
If not, what do you suggest is the best and easiest method to perform weekly backups from android to linux? By the way, we are not rooted.
Thank you!
I downloaded the apk from apkmonk - sorry, not allowed to post the link as I´m a new user...
(apkmonk.com / app / eu.kowalczuk.rsync4android /)
... and installed it via the "APK Installer" app.
Wanted to continue with rsync4android because it is working great (still with Android 6.x) and due to the Tasker integration.
When I am installing APKs from any file manager it's gives me an error App not installed as app isn't compatible with your phone but when I install same app from Google Playstore it get installed with out any issues.
Any idea why?
Screenshot attached.

It's possible you downloaded the wrong version of the app. If you look at various apps on APKMirror, such as Google Photos, there are many different variants available. You want to use an arm64-v8a version, preferably "nodpi" as that should work with all devices.

For some reason Google made an absurd last minute decision to make 32bit arm apps incompatible with the Pixel 7 at the software level. There is a workaround which I can confirm does work, as I am using it, but to get it to work if you have already rooted your phone with magisk you will have to backup your data and then do a wipe of the device.
The workaround is at this thread

I am trying 64bit versions apk only but those are mod apks for games and I think modded apk Google might have banned installing on Pixel 7/7 Pro

There's a new restriction with Android 13 for sideloaded apps not from Play Store, F-Droid and maybe other stores. I ran into it with an apk from Github. Your error doesn't relate but installing from a file manager is a symptom. In any case, if you think this restriction could be part of your problem search ACCESS_RESTRICTED_SETTINGS for a possible workaround.
@Nnik345 here you can find an answer and imo you should ask related questions better here instead of opening a new thread.
