Android Question distribution

[biggiu]

Hello,
I made an application with B4A.
When I sell it to the customer, he buys his own version.
This version should be available for distribution through login and password.
You can manage this process?

You can manage this process?

Yes

 

[biggiu]

Yes

Ok, I understand.
Now, please, can someone explain to me how and where I can put online this application and have it download only through a login and password?

You need a webspace with php-possibilities.
You sell software to your customer from your webpage and then you can write an app using httputils2 to communicate with the webserver...
As far as the website (could be a php script for example) then allow the user so download this new version the app then do the download (httputils again)... After the apk is downloaded it can be installed with code here from forum... Use the search to find example.

What erel want to say with this. In B4A it should be surely possible but it needs some server-side-logic to realize this.. And that isn´t really a "problem with android or even basic4android"

Hi Erel,
sorry for the language but I'm not very good with English.
Your response is very manners.
I asked for help regarding my problem.
I never said that this was referring to B4A.
I may have the wrong forum but in your place I would not have given this answer.
I remain convinced that your product is really excellent. For this reason, I try to improve and produce new applications to be distributed to my clients.
Now, if you have some examples, links or suggestions for me I shall be very grateful, otherwise I will find other solutions.
With love from an old Italian.

What I meant to say is that your question is a bit too general to be answered. Do you want to host the APK file on your web server?

 

[biggiu]

It would be a good solution. In this way, if it were possible, I could control access and count how many downloads are executed.
If you can 'help my site is developed in joomla and virtuemart.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Ciao

As I wrote in my first answer, this question is not related to Basic4android. If you have a question about joomla then you need to post it in joomla support board.
