How to open the Google Play Store directly from my Android application?

Question

I have open the Google Play store using the following code

Intent i = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse(\"https://play.goo         


        

Answer 1

My kotlin entension function for this purpose

fun Context.canPerformIntent(intent: Intent): Boolean {
        val mgr = this.packageManager
        val list = mgr.queryIntentActivities(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY)
        return list.size > 0
    }

And in your activity

val uri = if (canPerformIntent(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://")))) {
            Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName)
        } else {
            Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + appPackageName)
        }
        startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri))
