Hi Tina Please check below code its working fine.

If not install skype on device open google play otherwise open skype.

Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                try {
                    if (appInstalledOrNot("com.skype.raider")) {
                        Intent sky = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW");
                        sky.setData(Uri.parse("skype:" + ""));
                        startActivity(sky);
                    } else {
                        Intent i = new Intent(
                                android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                        i.setData(Uri
                                .parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skype.raider"));
                        startActivity(i);
                    }
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });
    }

    private boolean appInstalledOrNot(String uri) {
        PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
        boolean app_installed = false;
        try {
            pm.getPackageInfo(uri, PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES);
            app_installed = true;
        } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
            app_installed = false;

                goToMarket(MainActivity.this);
                return;
             } else{ 
               Uri skypeUri = Uri.parse("skype:username?chat");
               Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, skypeUri);
               myIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.skype.raider", "com.skype.raider.Main"));
               myIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
               startActivity(myIntent);
