License app instead of 2 copied apps (light and pro)

I would like to have 2 version of my app in Android : light version and pro version. The light version is the same than the light with fewer features.

Instead of constantly copy my source code in two git for each changes, I would like to have all my code in the light version and the pro version will be like a "license-APK".

I have see the app CamScanner ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intsig.camscanner ) with license ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intsig.lic.camscanner ) so I think it's possible. The only problem is when I install the two versions of camscanner, I have 2 icons (camscanner and camscanner license visible).

So my questions are : - How can I create a license APK ? - How to make invisible the license APK (in the list of the apps)

Thanks

As m.ding said you have to either use In-App Purchases with a verification and simply check if they have those features or create another version. Lite and Pro. I would highly recommend the second technique since it will keep your code neater and is overall a cleaner solution. :)

In App Purchase with verification. And disable the pro features in the code when verification failed.
