I'm very excited to say that My APKs got a place among THE BEST 100 ANDROID APPS in the review of a top italian information technology magazine PC PROFESSIONALE (August 2012).

Here an article's extract (My APKs logo is notable on the second row):
100 Apps imperdibili | PC Professionale

I would like to thank you, Erel and all of you guys on this forum, for your support, suggestions, criticism. Without your contributions my app would not be the same as now (7 releases in a couple of months !!!).

Best regards,
Francesco

Well done, I love your app too. :sign0142:

Please change the thread title

Erel,
since My APKs has reached 1.8 version, could you please update the thread title by removing the "1.0" initial version number ?

The new final title should be My APKs - backup your phone/tablet apps (WITHOUT ROOT), and it will be right for future releases.

Thank you in advance
Francesco

 

[Erel]

Sure.

Nice work. I recommend you to switch to the new Android 4 style (add android:targetSdkVersion="14" to the manifest editor).

 

[frapel]

Nice work. I recommend you to switch to the new Android 4 style (add android:targetSdkVersion="14" to the manifest editor).

Thanx a lot Erel.

If I add android:targetSdkVersion="14" then the app will still run on Android 2.x or only on Android 4 ? I've not yet studied its SDK docs.

There are many smartphone that still have Android 2.x OS, and I wanna give them the chance of running My APKs.

 

[Erel]

It will run on older devices. The only breaking change is that network communication is not allowed on the main thread. This will not happen if you use HttpUtils or HttpUtils2.

hi frapel

i have just download your app, very nice

i have a question, i try to share my paid app that is installed in my phone and its working
and if i try to share another paid app that i purchase in google play then i get an error (permission...)

why can i share my paid applications? and not other paid applications?

EDIT: ok i think i understand, apps that i have installed from my pc i can share but paid apps from play store not...

 

[frapel]

EDIT: ok i think i understand, apps that i have installed from my pc i can share but paid apps from play store not...

Exactly. Google has changed the way paid apps are managed when they are installed from play store. Google Play on Android versions since 4.x now make paid apps like "protected"... those will be installed in /mnt/asec and secured, so the user cannot backup, and of course share, them...

Thank you very much for your appreciation.
