I am building an android application and want to know if there is a way to update this application automatically without requesting the user’s permission for this…
This application will run as a stand alone app in a dedicated tablet running android and one of the desired features is to be able to update this app automatically from the server that the app connects to…
Is there any way to do this ???
Thanks a lot…
It is not normally possible to update an app without the user going through a confirmation dialog, as the user is considered to be the device owner and their active consent required.
However, if it’s a dedicated device and you have the ability reflash the firmware you could make a modification to the android platform to permit it.
If the confirmation dialog is okay (and really, why shouldn’t it be?), you can just enable third party apps and use the install package intent, or send the browser to a web page hosting your app with the appropriate mime type, etc…
