I've had functionality in my app that gives the user an easy way to provide
feedback to the Android Market, and additionally get a button to click for
updates when they're available.  Now that we're support both the Android
Market and the Amazon Appstore, we need to be able to manage both of those
for these scenarios.  My app was rejected by Amazon because the link was
going to the Android Market and not their own.

Besides removing that functionality from my app, which I'd like to avoid, is
there a way to distinguish which app store my app was downloaded from at
runtime?  Or, is there an intent I can fire that both respond to, and if so,
are any of you using that and getting through the Amazon approval process?

I'm pretty sure the answer to both of these is "no." If you're using LVL,
you *could* take the approach that licensed => Google and unlicensed =>
Amazon, but I'm guessing you're not using LVL, or you would have come across
this by now.

In my apps, I've taken the approach of creating two library projects - one
for Google, one for Amazon - that contain all the channel-specific stuff
like this. Then I swap them out at build time and create 2 APKs. Others
accomplish the same thing with a compile-time flag they flip between
generating the two APKs, which works fine too.

Good idea.  I'll go that route.
