programmatically update apk (download&start installation) Android API v26

I read all of the solutions about this problem.Also I know it can be considered as duplicated but it is not.
I see Error: Try Again toast message and I see Update Error log message.
I think at android v26 changed somethings about intent.setDataAndType or I dont know why this is not working.
Also I get the permissions something like this code
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(Update.this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
REQUEST_WRITE_STORAGE);
Problem can not be solved. I just want to do download and install apk file.
AndroidManifest.xml (I added write permission)
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
Update.java
package com.my.testapp;
public class Update extends AppCompatActivity {
ProgressDialog bar;
private static String TAG = "Update";

Commonsware thanks a lot, I waste my 2-3 hours to do different ways.
Actually I added this code before but the problem was not solved.
I tried again and it worked, it might be lazy solution but it is working.
This url have more info about the problem ,other solutions can be applied,
but it is enough for me.
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=24){
try{
Method m = StrictMode.class.getMethod("disableDeathOnFileUriExposure");
m.invoke(null);
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
It is totally fixed thank you very much again.
Application also need this storage permission.

Sticky Service is getting killed when user closes app from recent apps

I have good concept of starting and using the basic service. I mean not to complicated. In My app I want a service which should not be killed in any situation and should download some files from the server then it should call stopSelf. I have made my service in the following way. But before sharing its whole code just let me tell you what I am doing
In Service I am passing the series of url (string array) which has to download all files from the server.
I am using the async task to download from the server.
Under this whole process I am getting a 1st response that is in xml then I parse it , and get the JSON string (sorry about that my web service designer is a numb like me). so after these two conversion I store the data in the database and then starts downloading files and saving them to device and store their path in the database. (this all works fine)
I am calculating and updating progress in the notification bar. (showing user how much the files has been downloaded)
what I really want
I want that my service should not be killed when user removes it from the recent app list , so that it should continue to download and continue to update the status in notification bar. I am using Notification manager to update the progress.
What is really happening
When I close my app from recent app tray, I think my service gets killed and the downloading process stops, and It also stops updating the progress of notification in notification bar, Where As I want it to continue to run until the download process is finished.
Here is my code it is simplified as some methods are really not worthy
to be discussed here Such as Parsing the xml or JSON
Here is the Code
public class MyDemoService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = "MyDemoService";

I Know this is length code but sharing if You want to analyse it deeply.
I will provide how I am using and calling this service in MainActivity if you demand it

why are you not using an IntentService if you want to do network stuff?
you should consider adding setIntentRedelivery(true); in your constructor
from the documentation
Sets intent redelivery preferences. Usually called from the
constructor with your preferred semantics.
If enabled is true, onStartCommand(Intent, int, int) will return
START_REDELIVER_INTENT, so if this process dies before
onHandleIntent(Intent) returns, the process will be restarted and the
intent redelivered. If multiple Intents have been sent, only the most
recent one is guaranteed to be redelivered.
If enabled is false (the default), onStartCommand(Intent, int, int)
will return START_NOT_STICKY, and if the process dies, the Intent dies
along with it.

android progressbar in notification open activity when click

I just wonder that is it possible to make progressbar in notification and open an activity when click it.
Let's make a sample:
I have Activity A, B and C which C is file upload Activity with progressbar and notification.
So, when i click HOME button and then click notification icon i want to back to Activity C, Clicking back button go to Activity B and clicking again go to Activity A.
Here is my Fileupload and notification class
Activity C
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_c);
WindowManager.LayoutParams params = getWindow().getAttributes();
params.x = -20;
if (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT)
{
params.height = 750;
params.width = 550;
}
else
{
params.height = 550;
params.width = 750;
}
params.y = -10;
this.getWindow().setAttributes(params);
pg = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar1);
pg.setProgress(0);
new RunProgress().execute();
}
public class RunProgress extends AsyncTask<String, String, String>
{
#Override
protected void onPreExecute()
{
if(extraFlag == 0)
{
// Call Notification method
// backup is executed
displayNotification();
}
super.onPreExecute();
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params)
{
for (int i = 0; i < fileName.size(); i++)
{
name = fileName.get(i);
WebDav writer = new WebDav(getApplicationContext(),
name);
try
{
x += percentage;
publishProgress("" + x);
writer.uploadFile(name);
if (isCancel)
break;
File file = new File(new FilePathClass().returnSimple()
+ name);
file.delete();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
system.out.println(e.toString());
}
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... progress)
{
pg.setProgress(Integer.parseInt(progress[0]));
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result)
{
// This makes Notification icon CLEAR
myNotificationManager.cancelAll();
}
}
and notification method
private void displayNotification()
{
n = new Notification.Builder(getApplicationContext());
n.setContentTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.msg_action_bar_title));
n.setTicker("Uploading...");
n.setContentText("Upload progress started");
n.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
// This makes return to Same Activity
// when clicking notification icon
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ActivityC.class);
// i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
i.putExtra("extraFlag", 1);
i.putStringArrayListExtra("fileName", fileName);
i.putExtra("numberOfContacts", fileName.size());
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(ActivityC.this);
stackBuilder.addParentStack(ActivityC.class);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(i);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
n.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
myNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(ActivityC.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
if (currentApiVersion < 16)
myNotificationManager.notify(0, n.getNotification());
else
myNotificationManager.notify(0, n.build());
}

Call setLatestEventInfo() on the Notification object, supplying a PendingIntent that will start your activity when they tap on your entry in the notification drawer.
Check out this sample.

Android Expansion file won't trigger onDownloadStateChanged?

I'm trying to make my app download an expansion file. Here's my code so far.
public class main extends Activity implements IDownloaderClient {
TextView tv1;
Button mcButt;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
//////////
tv1 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
// Check whether the file have been downloaded.
String mainFileName = Helpers.getExpansionAPKFileName(this, true, 1);
boolean fileExists = Helpers.doesFileExist(this, mainFileName, 32921796L, false);
if (!fileExists) {
Intent launcher = getIntent();
Intent fromNotification = new Intent(this, getClass());
fromNotification.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
fromNotification.setAction(launcher.getAction());
if (launcher.getCategories() != null) {
for (String cat : launcher.getCategories())
{ fromNotification.addCategory(cat); }
}
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, fromNotification, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
try {
int result = DownloaderClientMarshaller.startDownloadServiceIfRequired( this, pendingIntent, ExpansionFileDownloaderService.class);
if (DownloaderClientMarshaller.NO_DOWNLOAD_REQUIRED != result) {
// implement Downloading UI.
tv1.setText("Need to download.");
return;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("apk-expansion-files", "NameNotFoundException occurred. " + e.getMessage(), e);
}
}
tv1.setText("Downloaded!");
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(Messenger m) {
tv1.setText("onServiceConnected: " + m.toString() );
}
///////////
#Override
public void onDownloadStateChanged(int newState) {
tv1.setText("onDownloadStateChanged: " + String.valueOf(newState) );
}
////////////
#Override
public void onDownloadProgress(DownloadProgressInfo progress) {
ProgressBar mPB = (ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.progressBar1);
progress.mOverallTotal = progress.mOverallTotal;
mPB.setMax((int) (progress.mOverallTotal >> 8));
mPB.setProgress((int) (progress.mOverallProgress >> 8));
tv1.setText(Long.toString(progress.mOverallProgress * 100 / progress.mOverallTotal) + "%");
tv1.setText(Helpers.getDownloadProgressString(progress.mOverallProgress,progress.mOverallTotal));
}
}
The file does download fine, but it does not trigger onDownloadProgress or onDownloadStateChanged during or after download.
What comes to mind, is that DownloaderClientMarshaller need to be somehow connected with IDownloaderClient which is implemented into the activity...
Any ideas? Thanks!

You should create and stub and connect it to the context. Then, the events will be sent to your IDownloaderClient.
if (DownloaderClientMarshaller.NO_DOWNLOAD_REQUIRED != result) {
downloaderClientStub = DownloaderClientMarshaller.CreateStub(this,
YourDownloaderServiceClass.class);
downloaderClientStub.connect(this);
}

progress bar in Notification area is not closing and not starting the second progress bar

in my app i have 4 buttons and when the user clicks any of the button it starts downloading a file and the progress bar gets shown in the notification area. The downloading and progress bar is working fine, but i have the following two problems
When the download completes the progress bar is not getting closed, it remains in the notification area
As i said above i have 4 buttons and when the first button is clicked download gets started and when the other three buttons are clicked immediately download is not taking place. I thought it may start after first download completes. But nothing happens. How to show all the progress bar when all buttons clicked
Following is my code(here i have added only 2 buttons) pls help me
b1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
b1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
i =1;
Intent intent = new Intent(NotificationProgressTestActivity.this, UploadService.class);
startService(intent);
}
});
b2 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);
b2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
i = 2;
Intent intent = new Intent(NotificationProgressTestActivity.this, UploadService.class);
startService(intent);
}
});
Next following is my Uplaod Service.class
public class UploadService extends IntentService

}
Log.e("log_tag", "Check: ");
// remove the notification (we're done)
notificationManager.cancel(42);
}
};
download.run();
}

PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);
1- in this above line, the 2nd parameter in getActivity() is requestCode, it should be a unique number for each button. currently it is 0 for both buttons.
notificationManager.notify(42, notification);
2- in the above line, the notification index you are passing as 42, it should be unique for both buttons. currently no matter how many buttons you create it will never show you a new notification because you are passing 42 for each. it will keep updating the current one.
also you might need to look again the code you are doing in onHandleIntent(). there are better ways to do this.

What you need is an AsyncTask and a ListView.
Your downloadmagic happens in AsyncTask.
Make for example an Array that indicates which download is running and the progress of each running download.
Now in your AsyncTask there is a publishProgress-Method which calls onProgressUpdate.
In onProgressUpdate you have to update the respective progress-variable and call notifyDataSetChanged on your ListView Adapter.
This will cause the ListView to reload all Data.
Finally in your ListView-Adapter you got a Method getView, where you have to create the View for each row of your ListView.
There you can decide to show the ProgressBar (download running) or not.
More Information about AsyncTask can be found here: http://labs.makemachine.net/2010/05/android-asynctask-example/
And more about the ListView here: Android : BaseAdapter how to?
