Answer 1

Change this two lines

{
 newVersion = Jsoup.connect("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + "package name" + "&hl=en")
     .timeout(30000)
     .userAgent("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WindowsNT 5.1; en-US; rv1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6")
....

you are using BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID but you need package_name

BuildConfig is provided by Gradle. If you are not building using Gradle then you cannot access the package name using BuildConfig.

I would use Context.getPackageName() because the result is provided from the operating system, rather than a constant in build parameters.
