Try below method for in-app-update for IMMEDIATE update of android app.

add below line in apps build gradle file.

implementation 'com.google.android.play:core:1.6.3'

for a better way, place this single method code in your MainActivity and call inside onCreate() method.

  AppUpdateManager appUpdateManager;

    private void inAppUpdate() {
    // Creates instance of the manager.
    appUpdateManager = AppUpdateManagerFactory.create(this);

    // Returns an intent object that you use to check for an update.
    Task<AppUpdateInfo> appUpdateInfoTask = appUpdateManager.getAppUpdateInfo();

   // Checks that the platform will allow the specified type of update.
    appUpdateInfoTask.addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<AppUpdateInfo>() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(AppUpdateInfo appUpdateInfo) {

            Log.e("AVAILABLE_VERSION_CODE", appUpdateInfo.availableVersionCode()+"");
            if (appUpdateInfo.updateAvailability() == UpdateAvailability.UPDATE_AVAILABLE
                    // For a flexible update, use AppUpdateType.FLEXIBLE
                    && appUpdateInfo.isUpdateTypeAllowed(AppUpdateType.IMMEDIATE)) {
                // Request the update.

                try {
                    appUpdateManager.startUpdateFlowForResult(
                            // Pass the intent that is returned by 'getAppUpdateInfo()'.
                            appUpdateInfo,
                            // Or 'AppUpdateType.FLEXIBLE' for flexible updates.
                            AppUpdateType.IMMEDIATE,
                            // The current activity making the update request.
                            HomeActivity.this,
                            // Include a request code to later monitor this update request.
                            UPDATE_REQUEST_CODE);
                } catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException ignored) {

                }
            }
        }
    });

    appUpdateManager.registerListener(installStateUpdatedListener);

}
       //lambda operation used for below listener    
    InstallStateUpdatedListener installStateUpdatedListener = installState -> {
             if (installState.installStatus() == InstallStatus.DOWNLOADED) {
                 popupSnackbarForCompleteUpdate();
             } else
              Log.e("UPDATE", "Not downloaded yet");
         };


    private void popupSnackbarForCompleteUpdate() {

    Snackbar snackbar =
            Snackbar.make(
                    findViewById(android.R.id.content),
                    "Update almost finished!",
                    Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE);
       //lambda operation used for below action
    snackbar.setAction(this.getString(R.string.restart), view -> 
               appUpdateManager.completeUpdate());
    snackbar.setActionTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.your_color));
    snackbar.show();
}

We are using below scenario in our app for Mandatory updates.

We are maintain Current version code and latest version code in our backend database.

  • In Splash screen, I am calling that API to check latest version code.
  • Get current version code from APP.
  • Get latest version code from API.
  • If latest version code is incremental then current. We Display Update Dialog.
  • You have to make sure that, Once new update rollout you need to change version in backend database.
