How To Do Live Updates On An Android App

I am new at programming and developing apps so go easy on me please. Basically I want to be able to update some text every so often without having to update the entire app. I'm not

Solution 1:

Are you saying that you want some text in the app (such as a list of items, or a paragraph somewhere in your app) that you can update without releasing a new APK?

If so, then you will need to implement some sort of client-server model in which the app checks your sever for the correct text to display.

You cannot simply update text that is coded into the app (or set in strings.xml), as all of that data is compiled into the APK.

Solution 2:

You need to implement a server (a couple of codes in php would suffice) where to store the lines of text you want to display in your application.

The application (which is the client in this scenario) must then call the server and ask it the line to display.

You should google for "android client server". Don't worry it's a quite easy issue.
