amazon-appstore

I currently distribute my Android apps on Android Market, SlideMe and Amazon app store. Android Market and SlideMe require a signed binary, while Amazon requires an unsigned one. I also need to differentiate some of the code to be compiled depending on which store I'm targeting. Currently I only need to display different text/link information, but in the future there may be a need to change things like included libraries. I am using Eclipse on Windows to build my projects. I am looking for the easiest way to conditionally compile the code and create multi-target builds as required for each

I know this is probably a longshot, but is there any way to detect programatically whether an app was hosted on the Amazon apps store vs on Google Play? I would like to link to the app store the app was downloaded from, and I'd rather not have two different APKs with just this difference if it can be avoided. prestomation As of just recently, the Amazon Appstore returns sane values for PackageManager.getInstallerPackageName() PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager(); String installerPackageName = pm.getInstallerPackageName(context.getPackageName()); if ("com.android.vending".equals

It's a simple question, but I can't find an answer anywhere.. Can I use AdMob ads in my apps on Amazon Appstore? If not, what ad networks can I use? AdMob is an ad network which supports (in this context) Android applications. the Amazon Appstore is merely another platform for developers to release their applications on. So to answer you question briefly, YES, you can use the AdMob Api, integrate into your Android app and release it on the Amazon Appstore, or Appstore for that matter (naturally, the ones that support Android apps. ;-) ) I have 24 apps on amazon all with admob without any

Amazon's documentation is surprising lacking in information about the submitting binary process. From what I can tell, you submit an unsigned binary and they wrap it in their own code and produce a signed apk? This leaves several questions: Does the Amazon App Store perform a zipalign for you? If you have your app in the Android Market (Google's) already, is it recommended to use the same package name or a different one? Does it make any difference? I also saw elsewhere, that they offer the option to download the apk they prepare and sign it with your own key. Is it recommended to take this

I have app in Google Play, Amazon, Samsung Apps and I plan to upload to other stores. I do not wish to compile separate build for every store. Is there way to detect what store installed app if same app submitted to different stores? prestomation You'll have to expand this for each additional store, but this should get you started if (context.getPackageManager().getInstallerPackageName(context.getPackageName()).equals("com.android.vending") { //do google things } else if (context.getPackageManager().getInstallerPackageName(context.getPackageName()).equals("com.amazon.venezia") { //do amazon
