Answer 1

You can achieve this much easier using UpdateManager - https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/things/update/UpdateManager

You can setup your Update Manager as such

// Creates instance of the manager.
AppUpdateManager appUpdateManager = AppUpdateManagerFactory.create(this);

// Returns an intent object that you use to check for an update.
Task appUpdateInfoTask = appUpdateManager.getAppUpdateInfo();

//On Success Listener
appUpdateInfoTask.addOnSuccessListener(this);

In your On Success method, you can call

result.availableVersionCode()

Which returns 0 when the version is not different. Which if it is different you can just pull this value from your app directly.
