Querying latest application version from the Android Market

Question

Can I query the Android Market for the latest version of my application in code? I would like to show an update notification for the user when a new version is available.

Answer 1

I found a work around that may just work. Name you app like this:

My App - V.1.12

Now you can quay your app page on the market. The title will be: My App - V.1.12 - Android Apps on Google Play

Assuming that you change the app name version on each release, this will work.
