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);

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);
I have a String url. The requirement : On Click of a Button, the default chooser should open if the deeplinked App is installed with the User else opens the browser.
I am doing this onClick of the Button:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse(url);
startActivity(i);
The onClick opens the browser only, evenif the deeplinked App is installed. What should be the approach?
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse(url);
startActivity(i);
The above code worked in case of deep-linked URL. The default chooser gave option for the App.
I call GooglePlay from my app through an intent and again after I kill my own app:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
String sModule = "market://search?q=pub:mycompany";
intent.setData(Uri.parse(sModule));
startActivity(intent);
finish();
android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());
Task manager shows, that only GooglePlay is running. My app isn't there anymore.
So my focus is GooglePlay at the moment. When going to the Desktop through the Home-Button and calling my App again it directs me to GooglePlay again.
Why is that? How can I call GooglePlay from my app independently?
I expected that when starting my app again, which I had previously killed, it would start my app and not focus on google play.
keyword is "launchMode" and "task".
this type of problems are so annoying and much complicated in android.
but this time you can try this.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
String sModule = "market://search?q=pub:mycompany";
intent.setData(Uri.parse(sModule));
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
if u cant solve, try combine another flags with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK.
cheers!
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 a button in my app named "Go Home" to redirect the user to the home screen. It is working fine without the very first launch. The process of first launch is noted below:
After uploading the APK into SVN I am downloading using the web browser. Then go back to the download folder and installing the app. When install finishes I click on Open. Then In my app I click on the "Go Home" button. The application redirect me to the web browser instead of the home screen. I am tired to search a solution for that.
I am using the following code:
finish();
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
startActivity(intent);
Thanks in advance, Siddiqui Noor
Your app is opening in the task of the browser. Try this:
finish();
Intent intent = new Intent(context, HomeActivity.class);
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN)
.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME)
.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
try adding FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK:
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
and also try putting finish() after startActivity
I'm pretty sure that it's not really redirecting you anywhere, it's just closing the Activity. You call finish() after which the intent to start the activity never happens. The app is closed because you've finished the Activity and you end up looking at the screen that was showing before you opened the app. In this case, that is the browser.
Try removing the line to finish();
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
startActivity(intent);
kill your current activity after redirect the next activity
finish();
