I am trying to implement In App Update in my app, so that when there is a new update, user get to see it.
I have carefully followed all the steps listed here - https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore/in-app-updates/kotlin-java
But for some reasons, the dialog to update not showing...
Activity.kt
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
setTheme(R.style.Theme_DirectMusicPlayer)
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
initViews()
setContentView(binding.root)
}
private fun initViews(){
checkForUpdate()
}
private fun checkForUpdate(){
appUpdateManager = AppUpdateManagerFactory.create(this)
// Returns an intent object that you use to check for an update.
val appUpdateInfoTask = appUpdateManager.appUpdateInfo
// Checks that the platform will allow the specified type of update.
appUpdateInfoTask.addOnSuccessListener { appUpdateInfo ->
if (appUpdateInfo.updateAvailability() == UpdateAvailability.UPDATE_AVAILABLE
{
// Request the update.
appUpdateManager.startUpdateFlowForResult(
// Pass the intent that is returned by 'getAppUpdateInfo()'.
appUpdateInfo,
// Or 'AppUpdateType.FLEXIBLE' for flexible updates.
AppUpdateType.FLEXIBLE,
// The current activity making the update request.
this,
// Include a request code to later monitor this update request.
Constants.MY_REQUEST_CODE
)
}
else{
Toast.makeText(this, "No update yet", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}
}
//Create a listener to track request state updates.
installStateUpdatedListener = InstallStateUpdatedListener { state ->
when (state.installStatus()) {
InstallStatus.DOWNLOADING -> {
val bytesDownloaded = state.bytesDownloaded()
val totalBytesToDownload = state.totalBytesToDownload()
//show download progress
}
InstallStatus.DOWNLOADED -> {
//show SnackBar
showInstallSnackBar()
}
InstallStatus.INSTALLED -> {
appUpdateManager.unregisterListener(installStateUpdatedListener)
}
else -> {
//do something
}
}
}
// Before starting an update, register a listener for updates.
appUpdateManager.registerListener(installStateUpdatedListener)
}
private fun showInstallSnackBar(){
Snackbar.make(
findViewById(android.R.id.content),
"An update has just been downloaded.",
Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE
).apply {
setAction("RESTART") { appUpdateManager.completeUpdate() }
setActionTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this@PermissionActivity, R.color.app_name_color))
show()
}
}
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
if (requestCode == Constants.MY_REQUEST_CODE) {
if (resultCode != AppCompatActivity.RESULT_OK) {
// If the update is cancelled or fails,
// you can request to start the update again
checkForUpdate()
}
}
}
override fun onResume() {
super.onResume()
appUpdateManager
.appUpdateInfo
.addOnSuccessListener { appUpdateInfo ->
// If the update is downloaded but not installed,
// notify the user to complete the update.
if (appUpdateInfo.installStatus() == InstallStatus.DOWNLOADED) {
showInstallSnackBar()
}
}
}
}
To test:
- I uploaded to a test track (With the In-App Update code)
- I then downloaded that same app bundle above with the shareable link
- Then in my code, I increased the version code to a higher one than the one in step 1
- I then generated another signed bundle and uploaded to the-same internal test track.
- Now I copied the URL of the app in step 4 and visited...In there I saw "Update" -- Which means there is an update available. (I didnt click the Update on playstore)
- I closed PlayStore and opened my app...Thinking there would be an in app update dialog displayed, but nothing is showing... But on playstore, it reads 'Update'.
I have also cleared cache, and waited for hours but nothing.
I am also not getting the Toast message which I set "No update" yet when there is no update...Which shows that there is certainly an update...but the update dialog from Google not displaying.
