Demo

Usage - Check Version for latest update

1. Copy latest version of jarfile in folder JAR to your project libs folder. You may also check out src used as project library.

2. For check version, in your Activity,

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    	super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    	setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    	
    	WVersionManager versionManager = new WVersionManager(this);
    	versionManager.setVersionContentUrl("http://bit.ly/11c7Pnb"); // your update content url, see the response format below
    	versionManager.checkVersion();
    }
   

3. The Version Content Url must return response with json format which follow this format. To save time for testing you may just put content in static text file.

    {
    "version_code": 2,
    "content": "Version 2.0 <p>New features:</p><li>Added feature A</li><li>Added feature B</li><li>Added feature C</li><li>Added feature D</li><li>Added feature E</li><li>Added feature F</li><li>Added feature G</li>"
    }
   

4. You can also customize label and reminder time eg:

    versionManager.setUpdateNowLabel("Custom update now label");
    versionManager.setRemindMeLaterLabel("Custom remind me later label");
    versionManager.setIgnoreThisVersionLabel("Custom ignore this version");
    versionManager.setUpdateUrl("http://your_app_url"); // this is the link will execute when update now clicked. default will go to google play based on your package name.
    versionManager.setReminderTimer(10); // this mean checkVersion() will not take effect within 10 minutes
   

5. Set callback for your own implementation:

   versionManager.setOnReceiveListener(new OnReceiveListener() {
   	@Override
   	public boolean onReceive(int status, String result) {
   		// implement your own compare logic here
   		return false; // return true if you want to use library's default logic & dialog
   	}
   });
   

Usage - Ask user for rate

1. Copy latest version of jarfile in folder JAR to your project libs folder. You may also check out src used as project library.

2. Add following lines to prompt user dialog for rating

    WVersionManager versionManager = new WVersionManager(this);
    versionManager.askForRate();
   

3. Customize label for ask for rate:

    versionManager.setTitle("Please rate us"); // optional
    versionManager.setMessage("We need your help to rate this app!"); // optional
    versionManager.setAskForRatePositiveLabel("OK"); // optional
    versionManager.setAskForRateNegativeLabel("Not now"); // optional
