Can we update Android app to Flutter app on Play Store - java

I have build an android app with java and published it to play store but now I want to rebuild it with Flutter and update it on play store can i do that?

Yes as long as the package name stays the same (app identifier) and you can still sign your apk or app bundle with your private key / keystore

flutter sign app with cert.dar playConsole

I have an app in the playstore created with kodular (similar to appinventor),
I started over with flutter and I like the result
However, when I try to deploy on the playstore, the app is refused with a reason: Your Android App Bundle is signed with the wrong key.
Do I have the upload_cert.der file, and how can I sign the flutter app with that certificate?
(i use android studio)
Your Apps key should match otherwise you will not able to update the apps. You can find the keystore in kodular

Error when install app from android studio

Hi I have made a simple app and when I want to test it I connect my phone 1 to computer by USB cable and the app run very good then I share the app to my other phone 2 and other phones from phone 1 and when I try to install it on the other phones it says can't be installed.
Is the issue from phones or from the app I wored if I publish it on Google play
It's doesn't work pls help me.
The error appears because Android Studio signs your apk with the debug.key by default. Documentation is here. When you sign it with the release key as Google Play requires, the problem will go away.
Installing an app on your phone requires that the APK file is signed with a certificate. When you install an app to your phone with Android Studio, it generates a keystore with a certificate and signs your app. This generated keystore is insecure and can only be used for development. Most likely your other phone is not allowing you to install the app signed with this insecure key.
To fix this, you need to generate a certificate to sign your APK with. For instructions how to do this, read the official documentation

is there any api to clone the behavior of Android Market application? is it even possible?

Using the Android market app, or better to say, the Google Play app in your device, you can search the market and with one click you will download and install the app you want!
I'm working on a project that searches the android market for a keyword and although I can have access to the apps and their descriptions, I don't seem to be able to download the app from my app like how its done in Google Play app!
is there anyway we can do that? maybe somehow connect to the current Google Play app installed on users devices and use it for the download and the installation process?
Thanks,
Hadi
If you know the package name of the app, you can launch an intent that will take the users to the play store via the google play app from their phone.
ex:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.example.android"));
startActivity(intent);
If you don't want to go to google play store and use your own market-like service then you won't find an API since this is a use case google would certainly not want to entertain, since they want people to go through their store. But you can host the apk yourself on a web server and when user clicks the install button in your app, download the apk from your own web server via an API you write yourself and the default android package manager will install it for you.

running facebook application on android emulator

To create facebook android native app we need to provide our Android application signature in facebook app settings. whenever i export some test application and provide the key and class name on application it is working perfectly , i am wondering how to make that workable on emulator... how to create a keyhash in emulator ... any ideas?
FYI i am following the tutorial below
http://www.androidhive.info/2012/03/android-facebook-connect-tutorial/
The app which is installed on emulator from eclipse is typically signed by default android debug key store, You will generate key hash from using that android key store, add that hash also to the your facebook app setting for android app, So there will be two hashes, one for debug keystore and the second one is generated by the key store which you will use to sign your app to test on real device.
