Android market link in SMS - android

I have tried via <a href="market://search?q=pname:com.google.zxing.client.android"</a>
but it is not working.
I have also checked in Google Android T-mobile G1 but it does not show me link.
How can i embed link of android market application link in sms?

Use the alternative Market URI format:
http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.google.zxing.client.android
That will be picked up by the SMS application and become clickable, assuming you don't apply any HTML formatting, as danilo mentioned.

You can't use HTML in a SMS. A simple market://-Link would be handled by Android, but apparently the default SMS application doesn't support linking it.
For your own phone, you could try installing an alternative sms app, but for other phones it will be difficult to get this working without additional software.
Best option would probably be to file an issue in the Android bug tracker and to ask the developers to fix this issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list

Samsung Internet not working with App Links? Are other browsers/devices also incompatible?

In my app when I try to use my app link from Google Chrome it works perfectly, but when I use Samsung Internet I find that the deep links don't work, and the URLs open in the browser instead.
Is there a list of compatible/incompatible internet browsers and/or phones that do not support Android App Links?
Or is there something potentially wrong with my app links implementation?
Unlike iOS that pushes hard to the use of Universal Links, Google doesn't do that and therefore any browser on Android can decide if they want to use App Links or not.
Most of the browsers usually blocks the use of App Links so there is a need for URI scheme as a fallback to make sure users will get to your app correctly.
I know there is already correct answer for the question. But I had this same issue with Samsung Internet and was able to solve it by enabling
Settings > Internet Settings > Open links in other apps
Hope this tip might help someone who see the question in the future.

Detecting the OS version then recommended to user to install application

I have an android mobile application for the product. I want to display a recommendation message when user open website in android device. Recommendation message should be like For better experience install the mobile application. In that message will provide one link which will open Application if already installed or otherwise redirect on the Play store link.
Actually, I don't have any idea and I don't know where to start. Can you please help me.
Edited:
I have uploaded reference image, In Below image, you can see the highlighted area.
I think that this is possible by reading the User Agent
https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/user-agent#chrome_for_android_user_agent
If you are parsing user agent strings using regular expressions, the
following can be used to check against Chrome on Android phones and
tablets:
Phone pattern: 'Android' + 'Chrome/[.0-9]* Mobile'
Tablet pattern:
'Android' + 'Chrome/[.0-9]* (?!Mobile)'

in my computers web browser it pulls up the venmo site with three people that will split the charge, However if I try something like that in my android app it will only take the first recipient.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Venmo Confirmed that this is currently not possible in the android sdk.

WebView support for android wear

Is there any way to display the WebView(Payment gateway page in particular) in android wear? I have done some investigations and wear doesn't seem to support it as of now.
link1
link2
According to answers in the above link, I need to load the WebView in phone and send the rendered image to the Watch. But user won't be able to enter anything in webview input filelds. Is there anyway to achieve this? Thanks in advance.
No, it is not possible.
As specified here by Google, the android.webkit API isn't supported in Android Wear.
Moreover, what you're trying to achieve seems wrong. There is no way a user will ever manage or want to enter its credit card (or other) credentials from a smartwatch. Remember that there is no (official) keyboard on Android Wear ! The only inputs are gestures and voice.
Google probably discarded the webkit API to avoid seeing such things in Wear apps ;)
You can actually reach that goal! Not sure on what was the strategy used but there's a fully working browser on Android Wear https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appfour.wearbrowser
You can do by following below link. I have done,It is working for me.

Creating web links that will open a website, iOS, Android or Win8 app depending on device

Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to create a web link that, depending on the device the user is browsing with will direct them to a website (for laptop/desktops), the App Store (for iOS devices), the Play Store (for Android devices) or the Win8 store, with a default to the website if device type is unknown?
At the moment, the best option seems to be to direct users to a website exclusively, with smart banners that will show a link to the App Store on relevant devices using the following code in the site header:
<meta name="apple-itunes-app" content="app-id=myAppStoreID, affiliate-data=myAffiliateData, app-argument=myURL">
But this is inelegant and can be missed by site visitors plus the additional step leads to a high dropoff. Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated!
Rather delayed reply but here goes:
Detect which OS is being used using Javascript code. Link
Change the hyperlink based on whether it is an iPhone Android or Windows.
If its iPhone use this, if its Android use this and for Windows use this
Hope that helped!
