Hello Erel, and everyone else, i was wondering if anyone knows the process of how google play automatically updates an application, I'm looking for the best way to auto update an application without any user interaction, this app will be installed on an android stick, (Dongle) unfortunately the dongle will not be connected to a monitor or TV which makes it difficult for the user to know when there's an update on the app.
Since the only way to silently push an application and update it, is if the device is rooted, unfortunately this is not an option for my client since the device will record patient's personal information.
The best way we figured to go about this is by uploading the app to Google Play and have it update automatically when a new version is uploaded. My question is this......
If the application is already running and there's an updated version uploaded to google play, will it still get updated even if the app is running, if it does is there any action that needs to be done like rebooting the device to re-start the updated version or will it automatically re-start.
Do I need to Re-boot the device in order for the application to even recognize that there is a new version in google play?
If anyone has any input on this please reply to this post, or if you guys have a better way of solving this issue please also let me know, I'd like to hear your thought or ideas.
Thanks,
Walter
