hey I want to utilize deep linking/ app indexing concept in android app. for instance, by clicking on a button another app can open a custom activity of mine. I have seen many tutorials to open website from android app but i didn't see any for app content.
I tried this small code but actually not what i'm looking for.
Intent intent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName);
if (intent!=null) {
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
}
else {
//Log.d("NULL", "NULL");
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details? id=packageName");
Intent go = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(go);
}

i like to open my own app by clicking any button in another installed app in my phone.
Example: when i click a delivery button in any shopping app then my app will open or my app icon will pop up in bottom.
( The same method used in insta download app for download Instagram picture, when we copy url of a instagram image the insta download app will pop up automatically )
is it possible??? if anyone knows please help me
Intent i;
PackageManager manager = getPackageManager();
try {
i = manager.getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.example.yourApp");
if (i == null)
throw new PackageManager.NameNotFoundException();
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
startActivity(i);
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
}
If you know the data and the action, you simply should add these information to your intent instance before starting it.
I am assuming you have access to the AndroidManifest of the other app, you can see all needed information there LIKE
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.package.address","com.package.address.MainActivity"));
startActivity(intent);
My application needs QR code scanner app for running properly. There is no problem to request it like:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData( Uri.parse( "market://details?id=something" ));
startActivity(intent);
After this I am redirected to Google market with predefined application. However my problem is that this code exits my main application. It is not in list. Is this a correct behaviour? When you want to install some other application does it exit other applications? Or am I doing something wrong?
Main goal is to just bring to front my main application to use it after QR code scanner is installed.
Any help is appreciated.
Have you write finish() in your previous activity from where you are redirecting to google play activity. If you have written then remove it.
final String APPLICATION_PACKAGE_ID = "com.google.zxing.client.android";
try {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + APPLICATION_PACKAGE_ID)));
} catch(ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + APPLICATION_PACKAGE_ID)));
}
So I just make like it is. And when the application is installed I just hit back and it works. I dont understand how didn't work this in friday but now it is ok.
I have an Android app that can open another app I have using:
Intent intent = new Intent();
PackageManager manager = getPackageManager();
intent = manager.getLaunchIntentForPackage("myOtherAppPackageName");
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
startActivity(intent);
Which works perfectly, the only thing is the app force closes when I don't have the other app installed, which makes perfect sense. My question is how do I get my app to open the Play Store to the specific app for someone to download if they do not already have the other app? I would assume do the exact same thing except I don't have the package name for the Play Store.
if you have the package name you can just do this
Intent marketIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(
"market://details?id=" + "packagename"));
startActivity(marketIntent);
that will launch the play store on the page for that application
If you know package lets use this example code:
public void offerApp(Activity activity) {
Log.d("Launching Market");
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("market://details?id=<PACKAGE>"));
activity.startActivity(i);
}
I'm trying to open market app from my app using:
Intent i = new Intent("Intent.ACTION_VIEW");
i.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.compamy.app"));
startActivity(i);
But I have No Activity Found Error. I am using real device and I have market installed.
So my question is: What can be done here?Thanks.
The only problem here is what zapl pointed out in the comments ("" around the action). The documentation (http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/publishing.html) clearly states how to use this:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.example.android"));
startActivity(intent);
official documantation link:
http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/publishing.html#marketintent
Opening the app details page from your Android app
To open the Google Play details page from your application, create an intent with the ACTION_VIEW action and include a data URI in this format:
market://details?id=
For example, here's how you can create an intent and open an application's details page in Google Play:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.example.android"));
startActivity(intent);
Try this:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.compamy.app");
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(i);
I have option to open my app Google Play page inside my app. When clicking open button in Google Play My app launches again. (From Splash screen)
When I am exiting my app it crashed. I tried put singleTask flag to my Home activity. It actually worked fine. But arised another crash. So I need to know is:
Is there any option to put flag in my Market calling Intent to notify that the app is already launched and just bring it front on clicking Open button?
Here how am I calling GooglePlay app.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(marketUrl));
try {
startActivity(intent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Cannot find Android Market",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
EDIT
My market url: market://details?id=com.foo.bar
This will directly redirect to my apps Installation page.
use this code..
Uri uri = Uri.parse(https://play.google.com/store);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent);
