What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

An Android library that checks for app updates on Google Play, GitHub, Amazon, F-Droid, or a custom server. It notifies users of new versions via a Material dialog, Snackbar, or system notification and supports API 9+.

Use cases

  • check for app updates on google play from my android app
  • notify users when a new version is available
  • show an update dialog with changelog in android
  • check github releases for new app versions
  • poll my own server for app update availability
  • show a snackbar or notification when an update is found

When to choose

  • you maintain an Android app distributed via Play Store, GitHub, Amazon, or F-Droid and want in-app update prompts
  • you want a simple, customizable update checker with dialog, snackbar, or notification display

When to avoid

  • you need in-app update downloads or forced updates (this library only notifies, it does not install)
  • your app targets only modern Android and you prefer Google's official In-App Updates API
  • you need iOS or cross-platform update checking
