You'll want to use the specified market protocol:
final String appPackageName = "com.example"; // Can also use getPackageName(), as below
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName)));
Keep in mind, this will crash on any device that does not have the Market installed (the emulator, for example). Hence, I would suggest something like:
final String appPackageName = getPackageName(); // getPackageName() from Context or Activity object
try {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName)));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + appPackageName)));
}
While using getPackageName() from Context or subclass thereof for consistency (thanks @cprcrack!). You can find more on Market Intents here: link.
Below code may helps you for display application link of google play sore in mobile version.
For Application link :
Uri uri = Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + mContext.getPackageName());
Intent myAppLinkToMarket = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
try {
startActivity(myAppLinkToMarket);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
//the device hasn't installed Google Play
Toast.makeText(Setting.this, "You don't have Google Play installed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
For Developer link :
Uri uri = Uri.parse("market://search?q=pub:" + YourDeveloperName);
Intent myAppLinkToMarket = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
try {
startActivity(myAppLinkToMarket);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
//the device hasn't installed Google Play
Toast.makeText(Settings.this, "You don't have Google Play installed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
You can do this using the market:// prefix.
Java
final String appPackageName = getPackageName(); // getPackageName() from Context or Activity object
try {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName)));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + appPackageName)));
}
Kotlin
try {
startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=$packageName")))
} catch (e: ActivityNotFoundException) {
startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=$packageName")))
}
We use a try/catch block here because an Exception will be thrown if the Play Store is not installed on the target device.
NOTE: Any app can register as capable of handling the market://details?id=<appId> URI. If you want to specifically target Google Play, the solution in Berťák's answer is a good alternative.
Many answers here suggest to use Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName)) to open Google Play, but I think it is insufficient in fact:
Some third-party applications can use its own intent-filters with "market://" scheme defined, thus they can process supplied Uri instead of Google Play (I experienced this situation with e.g.SnapPea application). The question is "How to open the Google Play Store?", so I assume, that you do not want to open any other application. Please also note, that e.g. app rating is only relevant in GP Store app etc...
To open Google Play AND ONLY Google Play I use this method:
public static void openAppRating(Context context) {
// you can also use BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID
String appId = context.getPackageName();
Intent rateIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appId));
boolean marketFound = false;
// find all applications able to handle our rateIntent
final List<ResolveInfo> otherApps = context.getPackageManager()
.queryIntentActivities(rateIntent, 0);
for (ResolveInfo otherApp: otherApps) {
// look for Google Play application
if (otherApp.activityInfo.applicationInfo.packageName
.equals("com.android.vending")) {
ActivityInfo otherAppActivity = otherApp.activityInfo;
ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(
otherAppActivity.applicationInfo.packageName,
otherAppActivity.name
);
// make sure it does NOT open in the stack of your activity
rateIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
// task reparenting if needed
rateIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED);
// if the Google Play was already open in a search result
// this make sure it still go to the app page you requested
rateIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
// this make sure only the Google Play app is allowed to
// intercept the intent
rateIntent.setComponent(componentName);
context.startActivity(rateIntent);
marketFound = true;
break;
}
}
// if GP not present on device, open web browser
if (!marketFound) {
Intent webIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id="+appId));
context.startActivity(webIntent);
}
}
The point is that when more applications beside Google Play can open our intent, app-chooser dialog is skipped and GP app is started directly.
UPDATE:
Sometimes it seems that it opens GP app only, without opening the app's profile. As TrevorWiley suggested in his comment, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP could fix the problem. (I didn't test it myself yet...)
See this answer for understanding what Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED does.
I got it working by using the below url on redirect
window.location.href = "https://play.app.goo.gl/?link=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.myapp";
When I visit this url from the browser of my mobile, it does not open the play store within browser but opens the play store app instead. This serves my purpose.
You can do this by checking URL in shouldOverrideUrlLoading method of your WebViewClient. See below
String market_url = "market://details?id=package_name";
String website_url = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=package_name";
onCreate ()
WebView webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webview.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/index.html"); // path to html
webview.setWebViewClient(new Callback());
private class Callback extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
if (url.equals(website_url)) {
try {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(market_url));
startActivity(intent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
}
}
return (false);
}
}

<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=package_name">App link</a>
This will always open your link in play store.
Hi All! I work on an android app and we use a lot of app install ads. Is there a way to open playstore within the app, without deeplinking to playstore and backgrounding my app? Or is there a hack around?
iOS seems to have this support : https://youtu.be/5UOSjB77JK8
