Open Play Store App from Browser Link

Open play store app from browser link

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.

How to make a web link open directly on Google Play Store

As explained here, Google Play provides url protocol

market://details?id=<package_name>

Applying on Blogger :

Place the following javascript code at the bottom and before </body>. This will change Google Play links only on Android.

<script>
if (/(android)/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
  document.querySelectorAll('a[href]').forEach(function (link) {
    link.href = link.href.replace('https://play.google.com/store/apps/','market://');
  });
}
</script>

open google play store link of App if a user wants to open website in android phone

You don't need to do anything special. When you click on a link to the Play Store from any browser on an Android phone, the Market app will handle the link automatically.

For example, try clicking this link on your Android device:

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps

If the Market app is installed, it will automatically open the page to install the application.

There are lots of resources for detecting an Android user-agent and redirecting. For example http://davidwalsh.name/detect-android

var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var isAndroid = ua.indexOf("android") > -1; //&& ua.indexOf("mobile");
if(isAndroid) {
    // Do something!
    // Redirect to Android-site?
    window.location = 'http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps';
}

How to open the Google Play Store directly from my Android application?

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 check the Berťák answer

Is any right approch to open direct google play store after click button in android

This solution is worked fine for me .

fun shareApp(appPackageName: String, activity: Activity){
try {
        startActivity(Intent(
            Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
            Uri.parse("market://details?id=$appPackageName")
        ))
    } catch (e : ActivityNotFoundException) {
        startActivity(
            Intent(
                Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=$appPackageName")
            )
        )
    }
}

So here we use two things if any devices specific app store available then it open it and otherwise it open play store directly . and showing your app.

Whenever i click on button then it showing me choice for select market app or play store , when i click on play store then it open and show related app.

I hope this help you..
