this is my question: I need my app to verify if a new version

  • 0

this is my question:

I need my app to verify if a new version is available on the market. Potentially it would show an alert dialog notifying that an update is available and then take the user to the market.

I know that the market does that if the user checks that option, but many people don’t bother taking a look at updates, and I really need to give them a nudge to get the update.

I didn’t find any suitable solution for this, as I’ve read before that an app can´t retrieve this information from the market. Is searching for a value in an html file on my server a possibility?
