Auto updating blackberry application


I am a blackberry software developer and my question is about blackberry. I want my own blackberry application to perform version checks with a server, and when the application's version is updated on the server I want this application to download the new version automatically from the server.

Is it possible? Can it be developed?


Solution

  • Check application version on application startup if new update found exit application and open browser that directs to download link..

            if(checkVersion()){
                Browser.getDefaultSession().displayPage("http://download.com/file...");
                System.exit(0);
            }
    
    checkVersion() {
        // get version information from server
        // compare with working copy
        if (update)
            return true;
        else
            return false;
    }
