i need to search any named app from using android market, app store, windows phone market.
My goal is
Generate qrcode by any schema url with any app name
Read qrcode from mobile
follow schema url to open Market (app store) app to search by app name
Is there possible?
Please tell me scheme url in (Android, iOS, Windows Phone)?
From Android app:
market://details?id=<package_name>
This is how I would approach it.
You don't know whether the person scanning the code has Android, iOS, or WP7.
Create a code with the following URL
http://example.com/?app=AppName
The user will scan the code.
The user will open her web browser.
Your web server will look at the phone's User Agent String and decide if she is using WP7, Android, iOS or something else.
If the user's phone is recognised, immediately perform an HTTP 302 redirect.
For Android, redirect to:
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=AppName
For iOS, redirect to:
http://itunes.com/AppName
For Windows Phone 7, redirect to:
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-GB/search?q=AppName
For all other phones, redirect to your main page - or have a page which tells the user that her phone isn't compatible.

This is old style.
market://details?id=<package_name>
It can be crash if playstore application is not in the device.
The below is safer.
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=<package_name>
If you want to link to your products from an Android app, create an Intent that opens a URL. As you configure this intent, pass "com.android.vending" into Intent.setPackage() so that users see your app's details in the Google Play Store app instead of a chooser.
The following example directs users to viewing the app containing the package name com.example.android in Google Play:

I am working on a website for a product which also has an android application. I want to redirect the user from mobile web browser to the android application when a particular task is performed. I use a deep link of the format as below -
intent://#Intent;package=<PACKAGE_NAME>;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;category=android.intent.category.BROWSABLE;scheme=https;end
The issue is that this link is redirecting user to playstore if app is not installed. I wanted user to stay on the web browser if app is not installed. How can we achieve that?
As of now, i tried replacing the intent with https to produce link of the format as below -
https://#Intent;package=<PACKAGE_NAME>;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;category=android.intent.category.BROWSABLE;scheme=https;end
But it only works if I add the supported links from the app info, which has to be done manually. I am not sure if the fix for this is to be done in android on is there a way to handle this from the website?
How are you guys doing email verification in your mobile apps? I noticed that the link will take the user to the webpage and realized this isn’t the desired outcome. I’d rather they be taken into the app and from their have their email address verified so that afterward they are still in the app instead of in the mobile website.
Take a look here, it might help: https://developer.android.com/training/app-links/verify-site-associations
It says :
Android App Links are a special type of deep link that allow your
website URLs to immediately open the corresponding content in your
Android app (without requiring the user to select the app).
I am running a small digital mapping company that creates digital ski maps and my customers are forwarded to a payment success page that outlines how they install the map on their phone (this question assumes they are using the site on a mobile device). One of the steps happens to be "open such and such a app" on your phone.
Is it at all possible to have a link that when clicked, opens a specific app (that was already installed in an earlier step) on their mobile device, similar to when you have a weblink to android play store app?
iOS:
You need to know the apps URL scheme (if it has one). Then launch it by linking to the url, for example if the scheme was youtube you would open the link youtube:// in a browser.
Android:
Open another application from your own (intent)
My app (iOS and Android) wants to post in behalf of the user to Facebook, but I don't find an api in FBWebDialog class (FB iOS SDK) to set the message to post. So my first question is: is there any api in FB iOS/Android SDK to edit the post message (feed dialog)?
With this failure I hope to do this by posting a FB message with a links. So here is what my title suggests. Is it possible to have a link (URL) which, when clicked by the user, leads to an iOS app if this app is installed or to iTunes store if the app is not installed? If this URL exists, will it work well on computers (PCs and macs) and other terminals?
I think if I set up a web server myself, I could use JavaScript to check whether the target app is installed on the client device, but I don't want to do so if there is already a way to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Seems you cannot change the FB post message, or check whether a specific app is installed on your device using native code.
Therefore, I just take use of the URL to the iTunes store (See How to link to apps on the app store). When clicking the link, the behaviour depends on the OS version (seemingly). Sometimes, you're led to your app (if installed) and sometimes to the app store.
I am working with deep linking feature in my app. My requirement is,
When my app not installed in a device during user clicks my specified link
(eg. http://www.showonthecloud.com ) from device browser or gmail app , want to redirect my app's google play store page. Is it possible?
You can just implement that link on your web server so that it lets them know they can download the app (assuming that you are using a link that you can manage on the web)
