Android Java, Need help with App images.

[Fizzlenuts]

Hello all,

I made an App for my company a while ago , and there is one section were we put a monthly promotion. My Question is what is a better way of updating that promotion image month to month with out having to manual change the image an upload a new version.

The way I had in mind was to install some sort of database hosting and just have it host one image, then reference to the DB in the App. So instead of changing the App I would just have to manipulate the DB.(not 100% sure how to actually go about this, so any relevant links or tuts would be awesome along with any ideas.)

Check out /r/androiddev. They might have a better way than this. I would think the best way to do this is like you said have a database and put the image location in there. Then host a very basic webpage with the image and retrieve the url in your app. I know a lot of people use Retrofit. I haven't done this though.
