In-Build Update Checker For Your Application

So its time to add an in-build updater to your application , so as i did in previous tutorial this post will be also a continuation of the Android Studio Tutorials .

We are doing Android Studio projects as a continuation , so am just moving on to the main part . I will explain the basic things here as post and rest you can refer to my youtube video .

• Set up android studio in your windows and linux computers

Watch The Video And Follow Me :

• Start a new project or you can add it in an existing project .
• Choose Application name , domain name , package name ...
• And i am doing this project on Navigation Drawer Activity .
• After gradle building and all follow the bellow steps .   
• Download volley.jar file from the download options or click here .
  
• Now we have to add it to our project .
• Choose Project instead of Android .
  
• Open your project -> app -> libs .
  
• Now copy the downloaded file volley.jar and paste it on the libs file .
  
• Now after pasting left click and select the option Add as Library .
  
• Now the gradle will build and after that you need to go back to Android .
• Go to AndroidManifest.xml .
• Select the entire codes and replace it with this and be sure that you don't change your package name for me its com.appname.app .
• Now go to java part .
• Select your package name , left click and select New -> Java Class .
• Name the class UpdateService .
• Select the entire code except the package name and replace it with this .
• Here you need a github account and create a github page .
• For that you need to make a repository with the same name of that of your user name that you used in the github account .
• Now you must create a page with content just number "1" .
• Now copy the link of the page and replace my github page link https://vishnutechmobs.github.io/update-link.html with yours .
• When you change this number "1" to any link "2" update box appears .
•  And also the content inside  "  boolean resp = response.contains("1");  " this line which is 1 here must be same as that of the github page content .
• Then by changing the github page content "1" to "2" etc you can announce update .
• In short it works in a synchronous manner . If any one of the content is different then update box comes .
• An important note : don't forget to change the value "1" on the UpdateService to the change value on your updated application . If you have any doubt feel free to contact me . 
• Now create another java class . New -> Java Class .
• Name it UpdateDialog .
• Select the entire code except the package name and replace it with this .
• Now go to MainActivity .
• Select the entire code except the package name and replace it with this .
• Thats it your application with In-Build Updater is ready to be build .
• Go to build option and choose option Build APK .

Have a preview of the update dialog box .
