How can I change sharedPreferences or add a folder when updating my app?

I have a C app I'm running on Android with the SDL library and whenever I do an app update the application files have to be updated too (they're in a system folder). The problem is that I do not know when an update has been made.

I know that when I start up the app I get it done, but it's still a hassle and there could be problems if the user does not open the app until the next update. If there was a way to do it during the installation was ideal and solved all the problems.

Not possible.

You'll have to wait for the next time the application is run and then do it.

The only possibility is to have a BroadcastReceiver in another package that responds to Intents ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED and ACTION_PACKAGE_CHANGED and run an installed / updated application service that updates these files.

The onReceive() method of BradcastReceiver would look something like this:

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    final String action = intent.getAction();

    if (action.equals(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED)) {
        Uri data = intent.getData();
        String pkgName = data.getEncodedSchemeSpecificPart();
        if(pkgName.equals("nome da package"){
            //Executar serviço para terminar a instalação
        }
    }

    //Testar intent ACTION_PACKAGE_CHANGED
    ....
    ....
}

The problem is if this package is uninstalled ....
