Here is the final code from the answers above that first attempts to open the app using the Google play store app and specifically play store, if it fails, it will start the action view using the web version: Credits to @Eric, @Jonathan Caballero

public void goToPlayStore() {
        String playStoreMarketUrl = "market://details?id=";
        String playStoreWebUrl = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=";
        String packageName = getActivity().getPackageName();
        try {
            Intent intent =  getActivity()
                            .getPackageManager()
                            .getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.android.vending");
            if (intent != null) {
                ComponentName androidComponent = new ComponentName("com.android.vending",
                        "com.google.android.finsky.activities.LaunchUrlHandlerActivity");
                intent.setComponent(androidComponent);
                intent.setData(Uri.parse(playStoreMarketUrl + packageName));
            } else {
                intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(playStoreMarketUrl + packageName));
            }
            startActivity(intent);
        } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(playStoreWebUrl + packageName));
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    }
