Help with app and update

I want to create a app to display videos with download option, sorted by categories, but wanted to know how to add new videos without having to update the .apk, only update the download links and titles for the new videos added...

I guess there’s no way inside Google Play, even exists APK Expansion, but it’s not the way you want it. You’ll have to create a WebService serve these videos.

Like this, videos would be hosted on a server... ?

You could host the videos on some server and download the videos in the device’s internal memory (SD or internal disk).

Instead of downloading would be better to display the videos online, but how to update the hosted videos?

This part is something else, will depend on how to implement.

One simple way is to use an Sqlite database to store this video list. In this case, the application would read the data from the BD videos and display them, so you would only need to update the BD instead of the application as a whole. Here you find material on Sqlite for Android. It’s the simplest way I can imagine.
