Since I have downloaded facebook in my phone it always updates automatically. I don't need to go to playstore and update it.
How can I implement this great feature in my android app.
There is no feature like this you can implement in Your App.
Your Facebook app is updated automatically because there is a setting in your playstore for Auto Updating Apps.
With this reference of this link :
Open the Google Play Store app.
Tap Menu and then Settings.
Tap Auto-update apps.
Select an option:
Auto update apps at any time: Updates apps at any time, using either Wi-Fi or mobile data.
Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only: Updates only when you are connected to Wi-Fi.
See this link for more details.

As we know when we are installing app like WhatsApp , Facebook etc. from play store then it automatically listed in a list of autostart application on boot.
As shown in below screenshot we can see how these application are listed in autostart application which automatically turned on after installing.
So my question is how can I list my app in the auto-launch apps list. After installing my app, its showing in list but its not enabled. But I want that after installing it should automatically enable.
I know there is a way to achieve this. Please help I didn't found any articles about this.
From my understanding, this can't be achieved by every app. The apps you see, which are automatically auto-launching after installation are white-listed by manufacturers or Google themselves. All you can do is send the user to the specific settings to enable the auto-launch after installing the app. This is also described here:

I am aware about the GoogleFit Faq and it is answered there
Do I need to install the Google Fit app to use the APIs?
No, you don't need to install the Google Fit app to use the APIs or the Fit platform.
But I am seeing cases where GoogleFit Android SDK API is giving 0 steps, 0 activities. When GoogleFit app is installed and enabled Automatic Tracking, it starts giving data.
So question is:
Is automatic tracking enabled for the user or the device by default, without installing Google Fit App?
Is the settings per device or per user ?
We are seeing automatic tracking is by default disabled on GoogleFit App "Get started" screen. If it is not enabled, data won't come (unless user has multiple devices where tracking is enabled). Which means users have to enable it to sync data third party app, which means they need to install GoogleFit app to turn it on. So, question is again: Does a user need to install the Google Fit app to sync activity data?
Is there any way (Any API) developers can find whether Auto Tracking is disabled or not, with which we can guide/ask users to turn it on (To avoid users raising issues/support tickets) ?
Is there any way or any API where developers can turn on Automatic Tracking (of-course with user consent) without installing GoogleFit App?
Your app can use the Google Fit Android APIs to record data.
I have a question about admin apps on Android that I can't find the answer to. I followed the guide on creating an admin app from here:
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/admin/device-admin#java
I successfully created an admin app but there's something that's confusing me. I have a fresh device (Moto G6) and when I go into Settings->Security&Location->DeviceAdminApps I see a list of admin apps on the device. Right now it lists my app and a Google Play Services app titled "Find My Device". The only difference, though, is that the google app was on by default. Normally, and including in my app, when I try to use an admin feature (through DevicePolicyManager), an android page pops up asking me to enable it as an admin app. Since the Google app is already enabled, that pop up doesn't need to appear.
So, my question is how do I make an app an admin app by default (without needing the pop up page)? I assume something needs to be done on boot up but I have no idea what that Google app does. Does anyone out there have any idea?
So, my question is how do I make an app an admin app by default (without needing the pop up page)?
Build your own firmware with your own custom build of Android, where you pre-install your device admin app and set things up for it to be pre-enabled.
Alternatively, I think if you create a device owner app, it will be enabled upon installation, but that installation happens when the device is being first set up.
Ordinary device admin apps require users to agree to enable them, for blindingly obvious security reasons.
I have an app installed(created by me) on my android phone. How will I code the functionality to automatically update from Playstore, without notifying the user(since I have trusted the old app instalation).
You can update your Android device's apps individually or allow them to be updated automatically:
Open the Google Play Store app Play Store.
Tap Menu Menu and then Settings.
Tap Auto-update apps.
Set up automatic updates
To set up automatic updates for all apps on your mobile device:
Open the Google Play Store app Play Store.
Tap Manu - > Settings.
Tap Auto-update apps.
Select an option:
Auto update apps at any time: Updates apps at any time, using either
Wi-Fi or mobile data.
Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only: Updates only when you are connected to Wi-Fi.
Note: If an account on your device has a sign-in error, apps may not update automatically.
You can google it also same processor written everywhere.

Inside your SplashActivity only if you want to force update
final String appPackageName = getPackageName();
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName)));
The method for turning on and off automatic app update on Android devices has changed several times over the years. For example, see How to Disable Automatic App Updates in Android. And for example, current Google Play Help advice is not applicable for users running the latest Android and Google Play Store software versions.
I am running Android Version 10 with One UI Core 2.5 and Google Play Store Version 25.5.22-21 on a recently-acquired Galaxy A12 phone.
On my phone, after opening the Google Play Store app, I click on my round Google profile icon (in the orange square in the image below) in the upper right corner of the Play Store app window,
click on Settings (in the red oval in the image below),
and select 'Auto-update apps' in the Settings window.
An implication is that changing the auto-update setting is now going to affect all Android devices being managed via that Google profile.
I hope this helps others trudging along in my footsteps.
I have a problem with updating an Android app. My requirements to the application are:
It must work constantly (24/7);
Updating should also be automatic, with no user input.
I uploaded the application to the developer console to conduct beta-testing. Then, I installed it on the tablet (I used URL).
Then, I uploaded the update, but the application does not start the updating process automatically.
There are no added additional permissions. The "automatic updates" are turned on in Play Market settings.
4 days have passed. If I go to the app's page in the market, I see that an update is available, but it does not start the download process.
The question is: what may be the problem? Why does the app not update?
Is it possible that the app gets reinstalled instead of an update (thus requiring some user input to proceed)?
Thank you in advance!
in Google play store app, open side menu, go to settings, enable auto update apps. It should do the trick
The Google Play auto update solution does not seem to work, when the app is always running. The way to achieve it through enterprise management tools.
