Answer 1

I just wrote a class that helps you to know when there is a new version of your app published on Google Play Store.

With the class, you will be able to implement something really simple like this:

new CheckNewAppVersion(yourContext).setOnTaskCompleteListener(new CheckNewAppVersion.ITaskComplete() {
    @Override
    public void onTaskComplete(CheckNewAppVersion.Result result) {

        //Checks if there is a new version available on Google PlayStore.
        result.hasNewVersion();

        //Get the new published version code of the app.
        result.getNewVersionCode();

        //Get the app current version code.
        result.getOldVersionCode();

        //Opens the Google Play Store on your app page to do the update.
        result.openUpdateLink();
    }
}).execute();

You can download the class here and use in your project. Basically, you use Jsoup lib to get o actual version published by making a request to Google Play Store page.
