Apps Is there a way execute Android Updates using ADB command?

[dduphorn]

We have run across issues with our mobile application where android update is causing application issues.

I would like to create a test where I
1. Install mobile application on emulator
2. Run some tests
3. Install android update on emulator <-Not sure how to do this
4. Run the same tests.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Update is provided by Manufacturer of device. During update they reinstall some components of Android OS and they update custom ROM.
Yes, it can make some problems for your app especially if you are using some undocumented functions, because Android OS is upgrading. But you can't control it and can't simulate it especially on emulator.
For you case you can have several emulator with different Android versions to test. I don't think you can do anything better.

I agree with that. The AVD setup is fixed and upgrading the O/S isn't possible. You'd need multiple AVDs to simulate different O/S versions.

I figured as much. Thanks for your feedback.
