I have my android app already installed on devices and now I want that if I have released a new version of that app in the play store market then the app automatically detects that there is a new version available and notify the user that they can update the app. How can I do that?

  • do you have a dedicated server for your app ? – Sagar Nayak Mar 25 '16 at 04:55

you may create an api with json response to check version and when update available simply redirect to google play store

You do not have to set this property in the application. You set this property in the Google Play in your application section like this:

This not official Api but it is working , Google will automatically give notification when app have new version on playstore, But if you want to force user to update app then you can implement this

The only case where you should be doing this is when your app uses a not packaged service (hosted on a server, in another app, etc).

This service should return an adequate response if the client (your app) is outdated. If you recieve such a response, then you can redirect to the play store.

If you don't use such a service and still want to do this, then check the android market api.

But really, you shouldn't. The Play store already notifes the user if there is an update. No need to do that again, you will only annoy users.

when you upload your application's update version on google play store . Google play store automatically send notification to users for update version of your application.So no need to send user a custom notification for update version. So only set this functionality on your play store account
