open link of google play store in mobile version android

I have link of my other apps in my latest app, and I open them in that way.

Uri uri = Uri.parse("url");
Intent intent = new Intent (Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri); 
startActivity(intent);

this code opens the browser version of google play store.

When trying to open from my phone, the phone prompts if I want to use a browser or google play and if I choose the second one it opens the mobile version of google play store.

Can you tell me how can this happen at once? I mean not ask me but directly open the mobile version of google play, the one that I see while open it directly from phone.

In case, we want purpose to update by linking to the native google play store application :

val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).apply {
    data = Uri.parse(
            "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.android")
    setPackage("com.android.vending")
}
startActivity(intent)

and if we want to open the instant app link here is the purpose kotlin code:

val uriBuilder = Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details")
        .buildUpon()
        .appendQueryParameter("id", "com.example.android")
        .appendQueryParameter("launch", "true")

// Optional parameters, such as referrer, are passed onto the launched
// instant app. You can retrieve these parameters using Activity.intent.data.
uriBuilder.appendQueryParameter("referrer", "exampleCampaignId")

val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).apply {
    data = uriBuilder.build()
    setPackage("com.android.vending")
}
startActivity(intent)

You can check if the Google Play Store app is installed and, if this is the case, you can use the "market://" protocol.

final String my_package_name = "........."  // <- HERE YOUR PACKAGE NAME!!
String url = "";

try {
    //Check whether Google Play store is installed or not:
    this.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo("com.android.vending", 0);

    url = "market://details?id=" + my_package_name;
} catch ( final Exception e ) {
    url = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + my_package_name;
}


//Open the app page in Google Play store:
final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
startActivity(intent);

You'll want to use the specified market protocol:

final String appPackageName = "com.example"; // Can also use getPackageName(), as below
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName)));

Keep in mind, this will crash on any device that does not have the Market installed (the emulator, for example). Hence, I would suggest something like:

final String appPackageName = getPackageName(); // getPackageName() from Context or Activity object
try {
    startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName)));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
    startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + appPackageName)));
}

While using getPackageName() from Context or subclass thereof for consistency (thanks @cprcrack!). You can find more on Market Intents here: link.

You can use Android Intents library for opening your application page at Google Play like that:

Intent intent = IntentUtils.openPlayStore(getApplicationContext());
startActivity(intent);
