| Feb 8, 2018 at 10:02 | comment | added | Dhaval Rajani | market:// is not working if i am redirecting from another domain url. For example if user is opening url example.com/blabla in his browser and i am simply redirecting to market://details?id=com.example.blabla previously its working but from 1 week onwards its not working. can anyone help me regarding this. i am using nodejs for URL redirection. | |

Add Note about this method being handled by multiple markets
|
| Aug 4, 2016 at 5:56 | comment | added | Coda | This solution assumes there is an intent to open a web browser. This isn't always true (like on Android TV) so be cautious. You may want to use intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) to determine what to do. | |

For projects using the Gradle build system, appPackageName is in fact BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID. No Context/Activity dependencies, reducing the risk of memory leaks.

You're welcome to submit your own code as an answer, but there is nothing wrong with using Exceptions in this way. It is not being used to control flow; it is handling the edge case of when the Play Store is not installed (which is already rare).

it's generally a bad practice to base your logic on exceptions, especially if you can prevent that
|
| Jan 22, 2015 at 14:18 | comment | added | Berťák | This solution does not work, if some application uses intent filter with "market://" scheme defined. See my answer how to open Google Play AND ONLY Google Play application (or webbrowser if GP not present). :-) | |

@offset No, unfortunately not. There might be an Intent you could capture on package addition, but even then I don't think the OS provides you the control to switch over to your app. (Just to do something in the background.)

Updating for HTTPS

| Dec 28, 2014 at 6:29 | comment | added | ooolala | Doesn't the web link need https now? | |
| Oct 31, 2014 at 2:17 | comment | added | Cat | @SagiMann-TROPHiT Honestly, I'm not sure. You'd be better off starting a new question. | |
| Oct 30, 2014 at 11:57 | comment | added | Sagi Mann | What if I want to open Play with a 'referrer' param? Am I expected to simply add it to the URI, e.g. "market://xxxxx&referrer=abc" ? Or do I need to update some other part of the Intent/action/etc? | |

if you want to redirect to all Developer's apps use market://search?q=pub:"+devName and http://play.google.com/store/search?q=pub:"+devName

Not sure what to tell you. I use this code on both 2.3.3 and 4.1 and both open up the Play Store. Additionally, the docs say market:// "Launches the Play Store app".

| Aug 1, 2012 at 5:46 | comment | added | Rajesh Kumar | I have tried already with this code, this is also shows the option to select the browser/play store, because my device have installed both apps(google play store/browser). | |
