Easy In-App Updater

Android Library to easily implement in-app updates

✏️ Installation

Step 1: Add it in your root build.gradle

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

Step 2: Add the dependency

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.sohanzz:Easy-InApp-Updater:v1.0'
}

Step 3: Initialize the InAppUpdateManager

Initialize the UpdateManager in your onCreate method of the Activity

  
    InAppUpdateManager updateManager = new InAppUpdateManager(this, AppUpdateConstant.APP_UPDATE_REQUEST_CODE);
    
    //You can set your preferred update mode using API data.
    updateManager.checkAppUpdate(AppUpdateConstant.APP_UPDATE_TYPE_FLEXIBLE);
    OR
    updateManager.checkAppUpdate(AppUpdateConstant.APP_UPDATE_TYPE_IMMEDIATE);

Step 3: override onActivityResult method

We need to override onActivityResult to detect if the user cancelled the process since the immediate screen can be canceled

    if (requestCode == AppUpdateConstant.APP_UPDATE_REQUEST_CODE) {
            AppUpdateUtil.showAppUpdateAlert(this, resultCode);
        }

Update Mode

Flexible: A user experience that provides background download and installation with graceful state monitoring. This UX is appropriate when it’s acceptable for the user to use the app while downloading the update. For example, you want to urge users to try a new feature that’s not critical to the core functionality of your app.
Immediate: A full screen user experience that requires the user to update and restart the app in order to continue using the app. This UX is best for cases where an update is critical for continued use of the app. After a user accepts an immediate update, Google Play handles the update installation and app restart.

Trigger update from other activity/Fragment

Call AppUpdateListener in your button onClickListener method of the Fragment/Activity

  ((AppUpdateListener) Objects.requireNonNull(getActivity())).onAppUpdateClicked();

Implement AppUpdateListener in your MainActivity and @Override onAppUpdateClicked method

        InAppUpdateManager updateManager = new InAppUpdateManager(this, AppUpdateConstant.APP_UPDATE_REQUEST_CODE);
        updateManager.checkAppUpdate(AppUpdateConstant.APP_UPDATE_TYPE_FLEXIBLE);
