// External sdcard location
    File mediaStorageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "My Images");

"update the app without asking user" - very. bad. idea. Would make me uninstall immediately and report to Google. — Fildor
sir you have mistaken me actually after asking through alert to update or not then I want it to auto update the rest thing @Fildor — Hari Mohan Mehta
I see. You just want to circumvent Play Store, then. User still has the ability to confirm. Is there a specific reason to avoid Play Store? (Just curious) — Fildor
Android Developer Site always is a very good source for such information. — Fildor
If there's no memory card, you can use this to store in your device's memory:PATH=android.os.Environment.getDataDirectory().toString()+"/data/your.package.name/Download/" — Yogesh Patel

It appears like you're starting the activity for result from a fragment. In that case you've to override the OnActivityResult() method in both the fragment and the Activity. Check out this answer. This should help https://stackoverflow.com/a/21826858/7659504
