Hi,

we are preparing the OI Updater that checks a given info file for new
updates as described in the Android documentation.

You can find the current build (rev 1284) at
http://openintents.googlecode.com/files/UpdateChecker.apk

In order to initiate the update check you just have to add the
following code:

                Intent service = new Intent();
                service.setAction(ACTION_CHECK_VERSION);
                String uri= "http://uri-to-update-file.txt";

                service.setData(Uri.parse(link));
                service.putExtra("package_name", context.getPackageName());
                service.putExtra("app_name",
context.getString(org.openintents.notepad.R.string.app_name));

                int currentVersion = -1;
                        PackageInfo pi = 
context.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(
                                        context.getPackageName(), 0);
                        currentVersion = pi.versionCode;
                service.putExtra("current_version", currentVersion);
                context.startService(service );


You can also put current_version_name if you check against the
veecheck url at AndAppStore.

It is still alpha, but we would appreciate early feedback.
How do you like it? Would you include it in your code? More/other
features?...

Cheers,
Friedger
