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: anyAny app can register as capable of handling the market://details?id=<appId>
Uri
