How to get the latest version of an app programmatically?

Question

I want to check programmatically if my app's version is the latest existing. With iOS, I would use this HTTP request :

http://itunes.apple.com/fr/lookup?bundleId=com.EC.EmploiCollectivites

Then, parse the JSON stream to get the version.

How can I do this (and is there a way) for Android ? Thanks for your answers.

Store some JSON on your own server with the latest version information, then download that JSON.

Ok that's a good idea, I already thought of this. But is there a way to do it with something existing, like this URL for iOS apps? – Rob May 27 '13 at 18:17
@Rob: Nothing that is documented and supported. – CommonsWare May 27 '13 at 18:41
Ok so I'm gonna do that. Thanks again. – Rob May 27 '13 at 18:49
