Hi all, I have learnt that if I want to use a link to Google Play inside my android app, I need to use market:// instead of http:// . So far so good. But apparently I need to also insert some code somewhere. It's supposed to look like this: Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=PACKAGE_NAME")); startActivity(intent); Only I have no clue WHERE to put this! LOL Can anyone help a non-coder get his head round it? For context, I'm putting the link to my app into various html pages inside a free version of the same app.

I have a free plugin on the market that does this: "launch play".adding support for it to have a gradient background in a couple of hours. Package name is "com.yourAppName". Your package name ahouldnt have cap letters like above.just did caps for readability.it shows an example in description of the plugin under json example.matter of fact if you go to google play on your computer and clixk on any app, the last part of the url will show you

https://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=99B261F7A55FC225E4978FD it doesnt launch another app thats installed on your phone is what I meant in the description.Ill revise that as well later

here an example that shows you how to find it in eclipse : https://www.dropbox.com/s/46xxbsew88js5du/package%20name.PNG

CMCOFFEE to the rescue again! This looks just what I need. I'll try it out later on. Thanks very much.

welcome,anytime

Any idea why I get this? https://www.dropbox.com/s/n37isimwoycqpnk/Screen%20Shot%202014-06-30%20at%2014.47.23.png "GradientDrawable cannot be resolved to a type"

Think import statement.thought i had put it in there.ill update when I get next to a computer.put your mouse over the underline red GradientDrawable.suggestions will show.click import...

Hi CMCOFFEE, thanks for the info. I've clicked on the import option and it now says that "GradientDrawable cannot be resolved to a variable" https://www.dropbox.com/s/jftrlc7uyhvqzsw/Screen%20Shot%202014-06-30%20at%2016.42.22.png

Actually I think restarting eclipse has fixed it.
