Google Play Store

Open Google Play Store Listing for your app

The following code snippet shows how to open the Google Play Store Listing of your app in a safe way. Usually you want to use it when asking the user to leave a review for your app.

private void openPlayStore() {
    String packageName = getPackageName();
    Intent playStoreIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
            Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + packageName));
    setFlags(playStoreIntent);
    try {
        startActivity(playStoreIntent);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Intent webIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + packageName));
        setFlags(webIntent);
        startActivity(webIntent);
    }
}

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
private void setFlags(Intent intent) {
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT);
    else
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
}

Note: The code opens the Google Play Store if the app is installed. Otherwise it will just open the web browser.

Open Google Play Store with the list of all applications from your publisher account

You can add a “Browse Our Other Apps” button in your app, listing all your(publisher) applications in the Google Play Store app.

String urlApp = "market://search?q=pub:Google+Inc.";
String urlWeb = "https://play.google.com/store/search?q=pub:Google+Inc.";
try {
    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(urlApp));
    setFlags(i);
    startActivity(i);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(urlWeb)));
    setFlags(i);
    startActivity(i);
}


@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public void setFlags(Intent i) {
    i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)  {
        i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT);
    }
    else  {
        i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
    }
}
