I want to open Google play store directly from my app.
Here is what I am doing now.
try {
// Check whether Google Play store is installed or not:
this.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(
"com.android.vending", 0);
url = "market://details?id=" + packageName;
} catch (final Exception e) {
url = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id="
+ packageName;
}
// Open the app page in Google Play store:
final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
startActivity(intent);
but the problem is that it shows other applications in application chooser box.
I don't want this how can I avoid Chooser box and directly open play store?
Updated :
Fixed this issue by using this:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://search?q=foo"));
PackageManager pm = getActivity().getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> list = pm.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
for (int a = 0; a < list.size(); a++) {
ResolveInfo info = list.get(a);
ActivityInfo activity = info.activityInfo;
if (activity.name.contains("com.google.android")) {
ComponentName name = new ComponentName(
activity.applicationInfo.packageName,
activity.name);
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN,
Uri.parse("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id="
+ packageName));
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED);
i.setComponent(name);
startActivity(i);
getActivity().finish();
}
}
}
but now problem is that it opens the main page of Play store but I want it to redirect to a specific app whose package name I am sending. Can any one help me with this.
Help is always appreciated.
