Android Question FTP Plus Update APK

[Cüneyt Gargin]

Hi... I have a project and we need to install new versions of apk from an FTP folder, if there is a new file there..

I connect to FTP Site and download APK.. After apk is downloaded, I use

Dim i as Intent
i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW, "file://" & File.DirInternal & "/Trinoks/NewAPK/tmp.apk")
i.SetType("application/vnd.android.package-archive")
StartActivity(i)



it says

"There is a problem parsing the package"

and does not install new version...

Where is my problem ?

Where is my problem ?

You must save the apk in the "external storage" (DirDefaultExternal for example). Otherwise the install cannot access the apk.

Hi..it solved my parsing problem.. but this time ... I have "the application ... stopped" problem.. I put a textwriter in main activity... and when I installed the newer version... Event the first textwrite string does not appear in the TEXT file... Only the previous before installation apk writes the lines to text file but the new version does not ... I mean the program crashes even before Main Activity_Create... I have 2 services.. WedgeService listening to DataWedge barcode reading.. Second is the intent listener for new version, as given in AppUpdating example... newinst2 service.. and I stopped them before I install new version... But still The new version crashes and stops... Is there any idea ?
