GPVersionChecker

Android Library for checking the current uploaded version on the Google Play

Quick start

1. Just add this dependency into your build.gradle

implementation 'com.robohorse.gpversionchecker:gpversionchecker:1.7.1'
implementation 'org.jsoup:jsoup:1.9.2'

or

add it to your build.gradle with:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

and:

 implementation 'com.github.robohorse:gpversionchecker:1.7.1'
 implementation 'org.jsoup:jsoup:1.9.2'

2. Add

  new GPVersionChecker.Builder(this).create();

into your Activity.java

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        
        new GPVersionChecker.Builder(this).create();
    }

Now you can see this awesome dialog window:

This library does not produce memory leaks - all context usages are leak-safe.

Customization

• Dialog window customization

You can override string resource, that you want:

    <string name="app_name">GPVersionChecker</string>

    <string name="gpvch_header">New version is available!</string>
    <string name="gpvch_button_positive">Update current version</string>
    <string name="gpvch_button_negative">Remind me later</string>
    <string name="gpvch_new_version_info_title">Whats new:</string>

also, you can override dimensions for default dialog window

    <dimen name="gpvch_app_icon_margin">10dp</dimen>

    <dimen name="gpvch_tv_version_code_margin_left">5dp</dimen>
    <dimen name="gpvch_tv_version_code_margin_right">5dp</dimen>
    <dimen name="gpvch_tv_version_code_margin_top">10dp</dimen>

    <dimen name="gpvch_tv_header_whats_new">5dp</dimen>

image by overriding gpvch_app_icon.xml

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

• Version checking strategy

Add this to builder, and dialog will be shown once in day

.setCheckingStrategy(CheckingStrategy.ONE_PER_DAY)

• Usage info response only

The following code will block showing of the default dialog window, but gives information about current uploaded version

 new GPVersionChecker.Builder(this)
                .setVersionInfoListener(new VersionInfoListener() {
                   
                    @Override
                    public void onResulted(Version version) {
                        
                    }
                })
                .create();

ProGuard

Add the following to proguard-project.txt:

}
