Self updating app

Question

TL:DR; version ;)

• my app should run without user interaction (autostart etc works)

• it should update itself (via apk) without any user interactio

Answer 1

My suggestion is to use plugin mechanism instad of updating the app. You can dynamically load classes from the Web and run them inside your app without any user interaction. There is a lot of resources spread across the Internet:
