Android App Updater [specially for Iranian App Markets]

Android App Updater (specially for Iranian App markets)

App Updater is a library to show update dialog to your users, whenever a new version of your application is available. It is really easy-to-use and fully customizable.

It is fully integrated with Kotlin and androidX

Releases

Current release:

Usage

Stores

you can show users as many stores as you need, to download your application from there. to make a new store :

    val list = ArrayList<UpdaterStoreList>()

    list.add(UpdaterStoreList(Store.DIRECT_URL, "Store Title", R.mipmap.ic_launcher , "https://url/app.apk", BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID))

parameters of UpdaterStoreList, as the order you see in above line :

1. Store type
2. Store title that user sees
3. Icon of store that user sees
4. An url to show the user if the store is not installed in user's device
5. Package name of your application

or you can omit adding some properties in Kotlin

    list.add(UpdaterStoreList(Store.GOOGLE_PLAY, "Download From Google Play", packageName = BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID))

Available stores

this library currently supports only these markets :

Google Play

CafeBazaar

IranApps

Myket

To Select an Store you should use :

    Store.GOOGLE_PLAY
    Store.CAFE_BAZAAR
    Store.MYKET
    Store.IRAN_APPS

Direct Download

you can also make as many direct APK download links as you need. Users can download that APK directly on their phone, and after downloading finishes, the install page will be shown to the user.

Remember to get WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in runtime (the library tries to get it if you forget ;) )

    list.add(UpdaterStoreList(Store.DIRECT_URL, "Direct Download",R.mipmap.ic_launcher , "https://cafebazaar.ir/download/bazaar.apk", BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID))

    AppUpdaterDialog.getInstance("New Update!!!!", "Lots of new features!! upgrade yo the new version.", list, true, font).show(supportFragmentManager, "TAG")

parameters as the order you see in above line :

1. Update dialog title
2. Update dialog description
3. List of stores you created in last step
4. Is it a force update? (should dialog be cancelable or not)
5. Typeface to customize font style

    R.drawable.appupdater_ic_google_play
