Opening an app directly on play store

I am using sharing intent to share my apps link to users via whatsapp,gmail,twitter...etc..

For example if the link is market://details?id=com.imangi.templerun&hl=en

It just gets posted as plain text and is not clickable.

I tried using http://market.android.com/details?id=com.imangi.templerun&hl=en But the user has to choose another option after clicking the link such as OPEN WITH Chrome or Playstore...

What i want to accomplish is once the user clicks, the app should open on the play store... Any suggestions and help would be grateful .. Thanks.

Try this code to open url directly in play store:

String url = "http://market.android.com/details?id=com.imangi.templerun&hl=en";
        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
        i.setPackage("com.android.vending");/* Play store package name */
        startActivity(i);

Have a look at this link at stackoverflow. You willget answer to your question. market:// is not clickable by default. You need to implement click event for view containing this text.
