I am developing an android application that has different types of content (text, audio, images).

However, these contents are updated regularly in a server and must be updated to the android application.

There is already a webservice on the server that lets you check the last update of the contents.

I would like to know if there is a kind of package manager for applications so that when the content is updated on the server generates an application package to be downloaded by the android application.

  • That solves the problem of the notifications. Is it possible to generate a zip file in the server side and the application unzip it? – Filipe Batista Mar 27 '12 at 10:29
  • Yes it is. From server side it depends on your application/web server. From client side you can use standard java libraries. Have a look here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3382996/how-to-unzip-files-programmatically-in-android – 207 Mar 27 '12 at 11:24
  • As of November 2012 C2DM is deprecated. Use Google Cloud Messaging for Android instead: http://developer.android.com/guide/google/gcm/index.html – AlexBottoni Nov 29 '12 at 09:28
