Hi,
I'm new to "creating android apps" and i'm looking for the following:
I'm in the proces of making an simple app, but when there is a new version of the app i would like to notify the people who use it.
The app will not be put in the Playstore so the new version would be downloaden (by the app?) from my webserver
So:
If and how is it possible to notify users and let them download a new version off the app that is not in the Playstore but on my webserver.
Does anyone have a tutorial or something for me that i can follow? :angel:
Thanks in advance!

Since you have a webserver, you can have a simple JSON there, with the details of the new app like the version code, name etc. Once the app opens you can query for the JSON from the web-server and can check if the version code is higher, if yes, you display the message to update the app.
Another way is to use Cloud notification system like firebase etc.

Does anyone know where I can get the stock Android 2.2 Calendar?
*bump*
Does anyone know where to find an up to date apk file of the stock Android calendar (not the TouchWizCalendar)?
Is there still no better solution than the detour around CyanogenMod?
It's in the App Market.

Thank you for the info, but in my post I asked for the apk, a file which can be downloaded on the PC.
I believe this is it.
Calendar.apk
Here is CalendarProvider.apk just in case you need it.

Thanks again, this is exactly what I need at the moment.
A link to mediafire or any other filehoster is a good solution for the current release. In order to spare you from being bothered again in the future by me or anyone else with the same request I would like to know if there is a "direct source" which always has an up to date version?
I just did a search on Google, downloaded and uploaded it to Mediafire.
Google is the easiest way to get almost any file you need.
Also, most cooked ROMs come with an app folder with all current apps for the OS release.

I did that too, but I did not find any source apart from the cooked ROMs and some filehoster links which did not seem to be very up to date or "official".
Don't keep me in suspense which non-ROM Website did you use as source for the mediafire download link you provided?

I already mentionened, that I want to know if there is a better/more direct solution than following some outdated links posted by users in forums or always checking if an app is included in some mod.
I often come across free apps which can only be downloaded in the market. I already got the market running on the Android emulator (which requires some modifications described in several tutorials). But the market on the emulator does only show a limited number of apps compared to the market on a real mobile phone.
So the motivation of my request is also learning if there is a better solution than the previously mentioned workarounds.

Not that I know. I use the search on this forum and Google.
I found the calendar.apk file here.
Google led me there.
I download some of the new cooked ROMs and look at the files included with them. Sometimes there are newer versions of files. This is not quick or easy, but it's what I do.

Hey guys,
i am looking for a current version of the windows phone version of WhatsApp.
I could not find anything via Google or on XDA, so I would appreciate if someone could pull the whatsapp cab or xap file from his windows phone and make it available here.
Thanks in advance!
what's the point of that?
its available in marketplace man ..2 mb no need for xap
i couldnt find it on marketplace. Is it true that it only works on wp7.5 and there's nothing on their website that says its on marketplace

is this the latest version updated in marketplace a few days ago?
No...this is the older version...the newer version seems to be more buggy and ppl want to revert to the old one.
Tried ver 2.0 and 2.8
Ver 2.0 works faster and better.
but does not have a background agent registered .
the newer update has this
Something changed....
I tried to download whatsapp xap using Phone7Market today. It downloaded the file succesfully, but something seems to have changed, I can not open the file as a zip file any longer, not using 7zip, not by changing the file-ending...
Did Microsoft change to encrypted apps yet?
Don't they need to update the devices to do that?
fadenfisch
EDIT:
Phone7Marketplace can't handle the file, too...
Direct download from apps.marketplace.windowsphone.com doesn't download xap file but some strange html file...

Yes and yes.
Microsoft enabled PlayReady on all XAPs from the market now, they're encrypted. They did update the devices for this - Mango added support for PlayReady. So far it was just not turned on in their server side.

you could check this link "whatsapp.com/dl"
perhaps the whatsapp.com will advice smth.

This is great news. Many thanks :fingers-crossed:
Only problem is your site insist that I register to download
Please load it here so we can download and try (if your restrictions don't allow, get one of us to load it)
Or provide a link where we don't have to register
EDIT:
Found the version mentioned above here and uploaded below
Reports "On WP 7.8 some bugs"
On HD2 with WP7.8 Rom, I found that it would not add to "Block L" (block list) from contacts

Normally, like every other application - from menu. It's called "Call Manager".

So, did it translated ?
the call manager does help me
I have used the call manager for one year. And I remembered there are two versions on windows phone. And I will open the quiet model after 11 o'clocks. It does help, cuz my sleepness was often broken on midnight.. But the call manager has a bug, that is, the refuse call function effect a bit delay.
That's my using experience. I hope this will help you !!
Hello,
I have just installed the new version of the Nextgen+ custom rom (v3.4). It is my first custom rom im very happy with it but I have a problem.
If I play a game like Farm Frenzy 2 and i leave the game and enter then another time I must start from the beginning. I gave the game also the root rights. If I use the Freedom Marketplace and want to download an application then the download starts and as it has installed the app I couldn't find it. If I enter the for another time in the Freedom Marketplace it says me that an error occurred. But I think that this is an application error that is not related to the rom. I write to this Forum because I can't write in the Developer Post of Nextgen+ because I'm new and for that reason this is "forbidden" even if I do have the tecnical know.
I would be very pleased if you could help me at least with the first problem (the saving problem).
Thanks,
Imax2010
P.s. because i'm a german i would like to excuse me for my bad english

You can try WPH Tweaks XAP, download it from Bazzar marketplace and enable the dehydration hack. It should allow instant resuming on apps and games or try your app task switcher.
As far as downloading apps from the freedom marketplace, I think the Nextgen rom has Microsoft encrypted security certificates, so this would prevent any pirated apps.

Hi All !
I've just signed up to this forum and quite honestly I'm blown away by the scope and breadth of the information.
I have tried to look for what I want, but I can't find an answer.
So, my NEWBIE question is:
Is there a place on here that lists the "latest" versions of each app / .apk ?
I particularly want the latest / best gmail app for my kindle fire HD. I don't want to get into "rooting" just yet and so need to side load it - hey I'm getting into your jargon already !
Thanks,
Andy

The easiest way to find out the latest version of an app, is to go to the play store through your browser and search for the app you want. On the info page you will find the latest version. Then use something like aptoide(Google it), or else Google the app you want, followed by the version, followed by apk. Hey presto, you should get a few results show up.
BTW the latest version of gmail is ver. 4.5-694836.

I do not believe that works. I have those apps installed as part of the procedure to install Play Store, Accounts and Sync, etc. When I install the latest GMail from the Play Store, it installs just fine, it starts to sync mail, and just waits forever (never syncs mail).
