Question

I am able to make my app, the device owner app through NFC as mentioned here. Now I want to update my app over the air, but I couldn\'t find a method without rooting

Answer 1

Create a service to background check for update. if update available download apk file and write it on some where like sdcard. wait some seconds to write completely flush. then call following code to install your new apk.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(fileName)), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
startActivity(intent);

fileName is path of your new apk file on sd card.
