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

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.google.com/store/apps/details?id=my packagename "));
startActivity(i);.

But it shows me a Complete Action View as to select the option (browser/play store). I need to open the application in Play Store directly.

This is the recommended way to link to playstore from an app:

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

startActivity(intent)

For Rate Application: Redirect to Playstore. In Flutter, you can do it through a Platform channel Like this

Flutter Part:-

static const platform = const MethodChannel('rateApp');   // initialize

onTap: platform.invokeMethod('urls', {'android_id': 'com.xyz'}),

Now Android Native Part(Java):

private static final String RATEAPP = "rateApp";  // initialize variable

// Now in ConfigureFlutterEngine funtion:

        new MethodChannel(flutterEngine.getDartExecutor().getBinaryMessenger(), RATEAPP)
            .setMethodCallHandler(
                    (call, result) -> {               
                        if (call.method.equals("urls") && call.hasArgument("android_id")) {
                            String id = call.argument("android_id").toString();
                          
                            try {
                                startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("$uri" + id)));
                            } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
                                startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + id)));
                            }
                            result.success("Done");
                        } else {
                            result.notImplemented();
                        }
                    }
            );

To open Google Play Store app instead of chooser use below method, If app is not installed in Google Play Store it will go to catch block and open chooser.

Try below,

public static void launchPlayStore(Activity activity, String packageName) {
    Intent intent = null;
    try {
        intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + packageName));
        activity.startActivity(intent);
    } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
        activity.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + packageName)));
    }
}

Tested. This should work fine.

val context = LocalContext.current
val onOpenPlayStore: () -> Unit = {
    try {
        LOG.d(tag, "onOpenPlayStore ${context.packageName}")
        val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=${context.packageName}"))
        startActivity(context, intent, null)
    } catch (e: ActivityNotFoundException) {
        var intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=${context.packageName}"))
        startActivity(context, intent, null)
    }
}

You can do this using the market:// prefix.

Java

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("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + appPackageName)));
}

Kotlin

try {
    startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=$packageName")))
} catch (e: ActivityNotFoundException) {
    startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=$packageName")))
}

We use a try/catch block here because an Exception will be thrown if the Play Store is not installed on the target device.

NOTE: Any app can register as capable of handling the market://details?id=<appId> URI. If you want to specifically target Google Play, the solution in Berťák's answer is a good alternative.

KOTLIN : create extension in context.

fun Context.openPlayStoreApp(pkgName:String?){
    if(!pkgName.isNullOrEmpty()) {
        try {
            startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=$pkgName")))
        } catch (e: ActivityNotFoundException) {
            startActivity(
                Intent(
                    Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                    Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=$pkgName")
                )
            )
        }
    }
}

Hope it should work.

This link will open the app automatically in market:// if you are on Android and in browser if you are on PC.

Some of the answers to this question are outdated.

What worked for me (in 2020) was to explicitly tell the intent to skip the chooser and directly open the play store app, according to this link:

"If you want to link to your products from an Android app, create an Intent that opens a URL. As you configure this intent, pass "com.android.vending" into Intent.setPackage() so that users see your app's details in the Google Play Store app instead of a chooser."

This is the Kotlin code I used to direct users to viewing the app containing the package name com.google.android.apps.maps in Google Play:

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

I hope that helps someone!

As the official docs use https:// instead of market://, this combines Eric's and M3-n50's answer with code reuse (don't repeat yourself):

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
    .setData(Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + getPackageName()));
try {
    startActivity(new Intent(intent)
                  .setPackage("com.android.vending"));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException exception) {
    startActivity(intent);
}

It tries to open with the GPlay app if it exists and falls back to default.

A kotlin verison with fallback and current syntax

 fun openAppInPlayStore() {
    val uri = Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + context.packageName)
    val goToMarketIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri)

    var flags = Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
    flags = if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
        flags or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT
    } else {
        flags or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK
    }

    goToMarketIntent.addFlags(flags)

    try {
        startActivity(context, goToMarketIntent, null)
    } catch (e: ActivityNotFoundException) {
        val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                Uri.parse("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + context.packageName))

        startActivity(context, intent, null)
    }

Peoples, dont forget that you could actually get something more from it. I mean UTM tracking for example. https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/android/v4/campaigns

public static final String MODULE_ICON_PACK_FREE = "com.example.iconpack_free";
public static final String APP_STORE_URI =
        "market://details?id=%s&referrer=utm_source=%s&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=plugin";
public static final String APP_STORE_GENERIC_URI =
        "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=%s&referrer=utm_source=%s&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=plugin";

try {
    startActivity(new Intent(
        Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
        Uri.parse(String.format(Locale.US,
            APP_STORE_URI,
            MODULE_ICON_PACK_FREE,
            getPackageName()))).addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
    startActivity(new Intent(
        Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
        Uri.parse(String.format(Locale.US,
            APP_STORE_GENERIC_URI,
            MODULE_ICON_PACK_FREE,
            getPackageName()))).addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP));
}

Very late in the party Official docs are here. And code described is

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(
    "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.android"));
intent.setPackage("com.android.vending");
startActivity(intent);

As you configure this intent, pass "com.android.vending" into Intent.setPackage() so that users see your app's details in the Google Play Store app instead of a chooser. for KOTLIN

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)

If you have published an instant app using Google Play Instant, you can launch the app as follows:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri.Builder 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.getIntent().getData().
uriBuilder.appendQueryParameter("referrer", "exampleCampaignId");

intent.setData(uriBuilder.build());
intent.setPackage("com.android.vending");
startActivity(intent);

For KOTLIN

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)

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);
        }
    }

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))

All of the above answers open Google Play in a new view of the same app, if you actually want to open Google Play (or any other app) independently:

Intent launchIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.android.vending");

// package name and activity
ComponentName comp = new ComponentName("com.android.vending",
                                       "com.google.android.finsky.activities.LaunchUrlHandlerActivity"); 
launchIntent.setComponent(comp);

// sample to open facebook app
launchIntent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.facebook.katana"));
startActivity(launchIntent);

The important part is that actually opens google play or any other app independently.

Most of what I have seen uses the approach of the other answers and it was not what I needed hopefully this helps somebody.

I have combined both Berťák and Stefano Munarini answer to creating a hybrid solution which handles both Rate this App and Show More App scenario.

        /**
         * This method checks if GooglePlay is installed or not on the device and accordingly handle
         * Intents to view for rate App or Publisher's Profile
         *
         * @param showPublisherProfile pass true if you want to open Publisher Page else pass false to open APp page
         * @param publisherID          pass Dev ID if you have passed PublisherProfile true
         */
        public void openPlayStore(boolean showPublisherProfile, String publisherID) {

            //Error Handling
            if (publisherID == null || !publisherID.isEmpty()) {
                publisherID = "";
                //Log and continue
                Log.w("openPlayStore Method", "publisherID is invalid");
            }

            Intent openPlayStoreIntent;
            boolean isGooglePlayInstalled = false;

            if (showPublisherProfile) {
                //Open Publishers Profile on PlayStore
                openPlayStoreIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,

                startActivity(webIntent);
            }
        }

Usage

  • To Open Publishers Profile
   @OnClick(R.id.ll_more_apps)
        public void showMoreApps() {
            openPlayStore(true, "Hitesh Sahu");
        }
  • To Open App Page on PlayStore
@OnClick(R.id.ll_rate_this_app)
public void openAppInPlayStore() {
    openPlayStore(false, "");
}

While Eric's answer is correct and Berťák's code also works. I think this combines both more elegantly.

try {
    Intent appStoreIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName));
    appStoreIntent.setPackage("com.android.vending");

    startActivity(appStoreIntent);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException exception) {
    startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + appPackageName)));
}

By using setPackage, you force the device to use the Play Store. If there is no Play Store installed, the Exception will be caught.

If you want to open Google Play store from your app then use this command directy: market://details?gotohome=com.yourAppName, it will open your app's Google Play store pages.

Show all apps by a specific publisher

Search for apps that using the Query on its title or description

Many answers here suggest to use Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName)) to open Google Play, but I think it is insufficient in fact:

Some third-party applications can use its own intent-filters with "market://" scheme defined, thus they can process supplied Uri instead of Google Play (I experienced this situation with e.g.SnapPea application). The question is "How to open the Google Play Store?", so I assume, that you do not want to open any other application. Please also note, that e.g. app rating is only relevant in GP Store app etc...

To open Google Play AND ONLY Google Play I use this method:

public static void openAppRating(Context context) {
    // you can also use BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID
    String appId = context.getPackageName();
    Intent rateIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
        Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appId));
    boolean marketFound = false;

    // find all applications able to handle our rateIntent
    final List<ResolveInfo> otherApps = context.getPackageManager()
        .queryIntentActivities(rateIntent, 0);
    for (ResolveInfo otherApp: otherApps) {
        // look for Google Play application
        if (otherApp.activityInfo.applicationInfo.packageName
                .equals("com.android.vending")) {

            ActivityInfo otherAppActivity = otherApp.activityInfo;
            ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(
                    otherAppActivity.applicationInfo.packageName,
                    otherAppActivity.name
                    );
            // make sure it does NOT open in the stack of your activity
            rateIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            // task reparenting if needed
            rateIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED);
            // if the Google Play was already open in a search result
            //  this make sure it still go to the app page you requested
            rateIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
            // this make sure only the Google Play app is allowed to
            // intercept the intent
            rateIntent.setComponent(componentName);
            context.startActivity(rateIntent);
            marketFound = true;
            break;

        }
    }

    // if GP not present on device, open web browser
    if (!marketFound) {
        Intent webIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
            Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id="+appId));
        context.startActivity(webIntent);
    }
}

The point is that when more applications beside Google Play can open our intent, app-chooser dialog is skipped and GP app is started directly.

UPDATE: Sometimes it seems that it opens GP app only, without opening the app's profile. As TrevorWiley suggested in his comment, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP could fix the problem. (I didn't test it myself yet...)

See this answer for understanding what Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED does.

Ready-to-use solution:

public class GoogleServicesUtils {

    public static void openAppInGooglePlay(Context context) {
        final String appPackageName = context.getPackageName();
        try {
            context.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName)));
        } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException e) { // if there is no Google Play on device
            context.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + appPackageName)));
        }
    }

}

Based on Eric's answer.

You can do:

final Uri marketUri = Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + packageName);
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, marketUri));

get Reference here:

You can also try the approach described in the accepted answer of this question: Cannot determine whether Google play store is installed or not on Android device

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);

try this

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.example.android"));
startActivity(intent);
