How to redirect a user to a specific application in the market?

Question

My Android application is trying to convince the user to update a specific application from the market. I can find the old version of the application, but how to redirect the user to the application page in the Market directly with the click of a button?

Answer 1

You need to raise a specially formed intention , for example:

Uri marketUri = Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + packageName); Intent marketIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, marketUri); startActivity(marketIntent); 

Where packageName will be the package name of your target application.

Answer 2

I think you can refer to it directly with the link: http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.voxmobili.phonebook (but with a working link for the application, which is :))
