[APP][4.0.3+] ApkTrack 2.0.2 - Automatic update checks for devices without Play Store

Apktrack
ApkTrack is a simple Android application which periodically checks if your installed apps can be updated.
It was created for users who don't want to use the Google Play Store, but still need to know when new APKs are available for their apps. ApkTrack performs simple website scraping to grab the latest versions of packages present on the device.
This application is distributed under the terms of the GPL v3 License
Usage
See the attached screenshot for a preview of the application.
Click on an application to perform a manual version check.
The buttons at the top are used to respectively search the installed application list and perform a version check for all applications.
That's it!
Things to keep in mind:
Applications are *not* updated automatically. You still have to find a way to download the latest APKs and sideload them yourself. ApkTrack is simply here to tell you that the update is available.
The application will perform HTTP requests both on demand and silently. You can configure whether mobile data should be used for background checks in the settings.
ApkTrack uses regular expressions to scrape webpages, so it may cease to work without notice if the target websites are modified.
Although there is a background service checking for updates every day, it may get killed by the OS. Remember to check for updates manually in the application from time to time.
Changelog:
Code:
0-----------------------------------------------------------------------------0
| Changelog: |
0-----------------------------------------------------------------------------0
2.1.2:
------
* Features
- You can now configure a proxy in the settings. It will be used to check
for updates, but *NOT* for APK downloads and searches.
- Downloaded APKs can now be cleaned from the settings screen.
- Added an option to ignore apps for which no update source could be found.
* Update Sources & Search Engines
- Timeouts between version checks have been reduced, which makes the
process of checking all apps much faster.
- Updated the direct download regexp for F-Droid as their layout had
slightly changed.
- Added a new search engine, APK-DL.
* Translations
- Japanese translation contributed by Naofumi F. Thanks!
* Permissions
- A new permission (REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES) is required to be able to
install APKs on Oreo.
* Supported Devices
- ApkTrack should work on Android O.
* Bugfix
- Fixes a major bug caused by ProGuard in F-Droid builds which prevented
users from entering the setting.
2.1.1:
------
* UI
- The app's design was materialized by Tetsuo55.
- Icons have been vectorized (also by Tetsuo55).
- The last check date is now relative (i.e. "10 minutes ago").
* Update Sources
- Removed the Nightly (Firefox) update source, because their website keeps
changing and the app has built-in update capabilities anyway.
- Fixed the WhatsApp update source. Support has been added in the AppBrain
proxy and this source will be phased out in later versions.
* Version Checks:
- Version checks for Google Play Services now ignore the part of the
version number identifying the architecture and DPI of the device.
* Supported Devices:
- ApkTrack now works on Android N.
2.1.0:
------
* APK Downloads
- The OS' download service is now used directly instead of proxying
requests through the installed browser.
- Downloads respect the user's preference regarding which networks are
OK to use (WiFi / mobile data).
- Downloaded APKs can be installed directly from ApkTrack's UI.
* Permissions
- ApkTrack needs a new permission (WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) to write
downloaded APKs to the sdcard.
* UI
- Fixed a longstanding issue where the last check date could overlap
the action icon (that one really bugged me).
* Settings
- Added options to ignore all system / Xposed apps in a single click.
A screen dedicated to managing ignored apps is still warranted.
- Added a preference allowing users who enabled background checks to
automatically download new APKs when they become available.
* Update Sources
- Merged the 9Folders update source (only used for com.ninefolders.hd3)
into the AppBrain proxy, because of new anti-scraping countermeasures.
2.0.4:
------
* Source detection
- ApkTrack will set the right update source for itself (upstream or
F-Droid) depending on who signed the APK.
- The source for all Xposed modules is now detected automatically.
- The F-Droid app is now correctly handled by the F-Droid source.
* Miscellaneous
- Moved the ApkTrack APKs to a server with more bandwidth.
- Version checks for ApkTrack now take place over HTTPS.
- Updated German translation.
* Bugfixes
- Fixed a widespread crash triggered during the initialization
of the app.
- Fixed a problem with icon resizing for devices with uncommon DPI.
- Minor bugfixes for crashes reported through ACRA.
2.0.3:
------
* Security
- Communications with the AppBrain proxy and crash report service now take
place over HTTPS.
- Certificates used by those websites are bundled with ApkTrack to prevent
man in the middle attacks.
* Translations
- Updated Polish translation.
- Added Italian translation.
* Bugfixes
- Resolved a race condition potentially leading to random crashes.
- The AppBrain update source returned a malformed result when it doesn't
have version information for particular apps (i.e. org.eff.actioncenter).
This is now handled gracefully so other update sources can be tried.
- Fixed the "currently updating" icon getting hidden because of screen
rotations.
2.0.2:
------
* Automated crash reports
- ACRA has been integrated to the app in order to submit stacktraces when
ApkTrack crashes (no data is sent without user consent).
- New settings were created to control whether bug reports should be sent.
- A privacy policy was written to describe how bug data and user data is
handled in general.
* Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug introduced in 2.0.1 triggered when trying to resize
non-square icons.
- Fixed a bug causing a crash with VectorDrawables for devices without
Lollipop.
- Fixed a bug where trying to determine the network type (WiFi / data) would
cause a crash.
2.0.1:
------
* Miscellaneous bugfixes
- Oversized icons no longer break the UI.
- Download URLs for Xposed apps are now obtained correctly.
- App uninstallations now also delete stored icons in the database.
2.0.0:
------
* Ignoring irrelevant apps
- When detecting apps present on the device, disabled apps are ignored by
default.
- Apps can be swiped to indicate that they should stop being displayed in
the UI and be ignored in subsequent update checks.
- An option was added in the settings to reset ignored apps.
* Detecting installed apps
- The full app detection is only done once, during the first launch. All
subsequent updates (packages added and/or removed from the system) are
now detected through Intents sent by the system.
- ApkTrack and its background services now communicate with the help of an
Event Bus, which allows complex information to be passed reliably. Model
modifications trigger notifications on this event bus, which tell the
applist which information should be refreshed. Thanks to this, there are
no more loadings when the model is updated.
- It shouldn't be possible for ApkTrack to miss apps that are installed,
removed or updated with this new design. So I'm removing the "Redetect
installed apps" button which wasn't very elegant nor user-friendly.
* Database overhaul
- ApkTrack now uses Sugar ORM to perform its database operations (branch
1.x contained a lot of manual SQL queries). The codebase is much cleaner
and easier to maintain now.
- Icons have been moved to a separate table, which allows ApkTrack to read
all the application info without eating up the device's RAM. From now on,
Icons are only loaded when they need to be displayed.
* Update sources
- ApkTrack can guess the default update source for some predetermined apps
based on their digital signature or their package name.
- The structure of sources.json has been changed. It is more complex now,
but it allows contributors to specify per-package regular expressions in
case the information for multiple apps is hosted on a single webpage.
Formerly, it would have been necessary to create an update source per
package in some cases.
- It is also possible to specify a regular expression to locate an APK
download link on the page. This will allow more direct downloads to be
provided.
- F-Droid, Mirakel, Xposed Stable / Beta now all provide direct APK
downloads.
* Misc
- Build system switched to Gradle to make third-party builds easier.
- ApkTrack will now remember across reboots whether you want to display
system apps or not.
- Searches are more flexible, and any part of the name or package name
can now be matched (not just the beginning as it was the case).
- Apps with vector icons are now displayed correctly on devices with an API
level >= 21.
- Manual changes to the update source are immediately reflected in the UI.
- The spinning icon which indicates that an app is currently being checked
isn't lost anymore when the app list is refreshed, sorted or updated.
- Notifications will not be displayed more than once for each updated app
(ApkTrack 1.1 would keep display notifications until the app was
upgraded).
Known issues:
-------------
* Swiping the app at position N, then scrolling down and up causes a blank
line to be displayed at position N-1.
* ApkTrack's APKs are still distributed over HTTP because the server uses a
self-signed certificate.
* If Greenify puts ApkTrack into hibernation, app installations, deletions
and upgrades will be missed. At the moment, the issue may be circumvented
by waking ApkTrack and performing the installation again, or deleting
ApkTrack's data to force a full re-detection.

I'm glad to see someone finds my app useful! Do you mean the possibility to sort applications depending on whether they can be updated or not? This is a great idea, I'll implement it!

Yeah excatly something like that, when apktrack finds like an update to an app the apps that need go get updated gets sorted fo the top so you dont have to scroll through the list to find which apps that needs to get updated and so on.. Awesome ill be following this project bro.

The code and APK have been updated as suggested by your feedback!
Applications are now sorted by status (whether they have been updated or not) by default, but it is possible to switch back to alphabetical sort.

Parsing Package problem
Tablet PMT7787_3G Jelly Bean 4.2.2 It givse me parsing package error. Works fine on KitKat

it works
Thanks buddy for your work. it works in d802 (LG G2) cm-12-20150217-NIGHTLY-d802. But i can't update apps. it says there is a new version available. press the circle but nothing happens.

Are you only scraping google play or do you also check places like the amazon appstore and f-droid.org? If so, how do you handle app's that are in multiple locations? For example if I purchased an app at amazon appstore (or got it as the free app of the day) I can only use the latest version on that appstore even if google play has a newer version. Amazon appstore is usually always behind google play in versions. In some cases f-droid (open source app store) will have versions compiled without ads where google play may have versions with. (The simplest solution may be to let the user pick the location to check for each app?)
Forgot to mention if you used xposed framework the module updates might be worthy of tracking as well. http://repo.xposed.info/module-overview

Could you post a stacktrace? I assume this is because the required API version in the AndroidManifest.xml is 19 (4.4+). This is probably a very conservative choice, but I have no devices using anterior versions to run tests. I'll try to post an APK compatible with more Android versions soon.

I'll quote my first post : "applications are *not* updated automatically. You still have to find a way to download the latest APKs and sideload them yourself. ApkTrack is simply here to tell you that the update is available."
Simply put, I finding the latest version of an APK reliably is not always easy (I usually have to do some googling myself).

I scrape Google Play, then if I get a message like "Varies with device" I try appbrain.com.
Sadly, I don't track versions on an app store basis. ApkTrack was really made in mind with the idea of downloading APKs and installing them through adb. Doesn't the Amazon app store already notify you of available updates?
One of the features I would like to implement in the future would be custom web scraping though (let the user specify the webpage and regular expression). I'll look into F-Froid too.
And thanks for the Xposed modules idea, I'll definitely implement that!

Just the app I was looking for. Working on 4.4.4 Oneplus Mahdi

Reminds me of AppWatch, but without being limited to just the Play Store. Cool idea. I'm gonna try it out.

Using Greenify and Xprivacy my appstores don't notify me of anything until I actually run them. Have you considered taking the full app name and kicking it into a google (or better yet startpage.com since it anonymizes the search but uses same parms as google) search maybe with additional keywords like "apk" and "download"? This would point folks to where they might be able to download the updated module. A similar technique is used by windows software update checker "sumo" (software update monitor) A similar idea would be to do the same with an appstore search of where the update was located...minimal code is needed since you are just kicking an url to be opened to the browser via the "view" feature.

ApkTrack has no fancy icon Feel free to design one!
I am by no means an Android developper. This is a project I hacked quickly because I was tired of checking updates manually. If you are learning Android development, what you see in the code should definitely not be considered best practice. You're welcome to point out what I did wrong, though!

This is fantastic! I use Raccoon to download apps to my computer before manually transferring them to my phone, and when i wanted to check if there was an update out for an app i'd have to check one by one the apps on Raccoon, This is going to be a huge time saver.

That's another great idea. I will work on that in the upcoming weeks!

Very interesting project!
Someone suggested sorting option. I'd go one step ahead and request you to implement a feature which could hide non play store apps

@JusticeRage, this project sounds promising, however when I tested that, some of the applications were saying they are not uptodate, like CM Browser (I'm in beta programm), Naked Browser (maybe there is some problem with APK version?), Google Drive and Google Camera etc.
Also time ago I posted this question : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2988051 ... Maybe this can be implemented with your application ? So in this case I would rather prefer to highlight such disappering aps. rather then filtering them out.
Another option to jump on app from to the list to GooglePlay or searching on web for apk or alternate repository (ApToide) would be really nice. ?

Working fine here. Now This is my ChangelogDroid replacement, because its not working on my device with MUI rom. Keep update this app & would be nice if you push it to playstore.

It would be nice to have direct downloads, but for the moment I will not be adding it since I don't want to steal traffic from these sites.

Added multiple theme support and published version 1.1.0

thanks for sharing :good:

Changelog 1.1.1
* Some bugfixing.
* Added toolbar to settings activity.

The update check is really fast and easy to use :good:
A couple suggestions:
• exclude apps from the list
• bug in the notification bar

Nice App and really useful. Have a nice weekend. [emoji106]

The notification bug should be fixed with last commit. I'll make a new release this weekend when I have some more time.
Long press makes app ignored (you will see it grayed). Don't see any easy way of completely removing apps from the list and letting the user add them back again.

Changelog 1.1.2
* Fixed progress issue in notification if more than one source was selected.
* Fixed issue with default values of ignore list.

Very nice app to have! Thanks

You just need to long press an app to add or remove from ignore list.

I've installed this app on a old LG with cyanogenmod 7 without gapps, but when i press on the button for refresh the apps list or the settings button, the app crash! I've uploaded also the log, i think that can be useful

Changelog for 1.1.3
Fixed issue with notification on 2.3 android devices.
Fixed ignore app background issue in 2.3 android devices.
Changed SwitchPreference to CheckboxPreference in android devices below api 14.
This should make the app working again on 2.3. However there are some minor cosmetic issues that I will probably not fix:
Dark themes will look wrong.
On settings activity %s will be displayed instead of the right value.

It would be nice to know which apps failed (I have 38 errors but I don't know for which apps).
I had a bug, duplicates in the Updates tab after launching the update process several times.

Changelog 1.1.4
* Fixed dark themes in Android 2.3
* Don't return an error if app is not found on Play.
Most errors are coming from checking apps that do not exist in Google Play. These are no longer marked as an error.
Apart from that the most common errors are either connection errors or version parsing errors. Version parsing errors happen when apps have weird version names. Adding a way to see what exactly are the errors is something I'd like to add in the future.

Yep and adding a solution to check the repos of F-Droid and Xposed would be appreciated.

[Bug][Question] Site, new releases

I see that after v1.8.10, site is not being actively updated... What's going on?
1. Download page is being updated more than 24h after every new release in PlayStore
2. Changelog still at 1.8.9 and misses some older versions
3. Previous versions also is stuck on 1.8.9
4. This is important. "MX Player 1.8.15 (NEON)" (Player_ad-neon_direct_-release.apk) that is published in site is different from the one installed via PlayStore.
The one from site (Player_ad-neon_direct_-release.apk) is mislabeled as being compatible with x86, however, they include only libs for ARM and its files for x86 are empty 0 byte files.
The one from PlayStore seems ok.
It is easy to compare the apk files: PlayStore apk and site apk.
-> Since 1.8.12 (or maybe 1.8.11, I don't remember), inside ad-powered version, the ads are now full-screen during Pause, turning the feature mostly useless to navigate videos.
-> Also since that version, app startup is slower, even after later versions saying the opposite.
OS: stock and unmodified Samsung SM-G360M with Android 5.0.2.

The full screen ads are very intrusive and really annoying. Will installing an older apk make the ads return to banners?

As far as I know, they are just analysing the user behaviours & feedbacks for better understanding of how the app is used & how the ad experience can be improved without affecting user experience. Hope, it will be minimized soon.

Ok!
Could you please, if possible, forward #4 above to responsible person?

ARM apk from site is different from the one at PlayStore. The one at PlayStore is correctly built and the other is wrong. That's my point.

I'm sorry but in order to be able to fix the issue, I need more info. How exactly did you identify that the app is the culprit? I mean it really does so little to nothing in the background. Are there any logs (logcat for instance) ?
Thanks.

No root so cant get logs. It just randomly crashes multiple times even if I haven't used it in a while. See attached, I sent logs through feedback option.

So far I can't be certain, really, as Google Play takes forever to show me the bug reports.
Also, I'm in the middle of my exams, so I might not be able to solve this issue soon.
My suggestion would be disabling the "Launch on Copy" feature. If the problem still persists, then uninstall the app. As I don't know when I will have the time to fix this.
Thanks.

Like it. It's good that it can run from share menu, so I don't have to monitor clipboard.
Anyway, item not found in play store (I'm in Indonesia) so I had to get it from apkpure.

Wow, very fast, nice tools like Extras and Media Inspector. It will be my default browser if:
- go back page without reloading,
- improve media inspector because not detect any image and video from page,
- missing 3rd party player,
- missing cast to tv,
- can't use Tinder because this browser don't support Sharing Location and Notifications.

I have made some updates and the app is more polished since it was posted here

Why not attach APK to OP. And, provide link to App website link whatever.
Also, you have a lot of keywords suchas 'Anoonymous' and 'Privacy', so is webRTC disabled? (As if not, then you should change your keywords as they are wrong.)
Also, add screenshots. Either in tab, or in OP or 2nd post

On the new update you can configure the maximum number of connections per download (it accelerates your download by requesting the file in segments), you can set up to 7 connections or up to 32 connections (with the pro iap) ~ please be cautious about using too high values in this new feature because some servers might not support or even blacklist your IP because of too many connections ~

The newest update contains a lot of improvements:
Many ad blocker improvements
Now you can add custom hosts to the ad blocker list
Horizontal scroll on tabs list was improved
Added option on extras to force zoom
Layout was improved to be more accessible with one hand

Neat browser! Great to see a native dark/black mode for us OLED users, bottom navbar is nice too.

great browser but there is one thing that is keeping me away from it. That is find in page.

Great browser man.... I love it. The night mode feature is a great way to ease the eyes. Could you add a feature similar to facebook messenger's chat heads and an option to view webpages in chat head view by default?

Great start, lightweight & fast, I was hoping the floating windows could be launched externally such as clicking a link in a different app, any plans to add this feature also with resizable windows?
If you could add these I would definitely upgrade.
Thanks

I wish the browser could be downloaded outside of Google Play.

it's really light and fast. i usually open emails and some ebook sites only, still comparatively, execution was fast and snappy.

looks damn great, I love it. let's see if how long can I stay using it before switching back to the old browser.

Testing since yesterday and really appreciate. Great potential. web pages loading and downloading are really fast. Few suggestions regarding my use :
-Permanent private session option
-Adding Qwant as search engine
-Be able to choose a start page (url for example)
-An exit button.
Good work dev, thank you.

Why not add Min API 19 ??

Can you add an open in-app option? Something similar like firefox has?
