How do I require that the user installs another Android app (on which my app depends), during installation of my app?

In desktop applications, for example, many applications ask us to install .Net framework during their installation.

So my question is that during the installation of my Android application on a user's device, how can I notify the user that this application depends on another application, so they need to install it, and then take them to the Playstore where they can install it?

DUring installation? You can't- there's no installers on Android. You can make the launcher Activity of your app check if the other app is installed and if not attempt to install it, but that's the best you can do.

you can not ask them during installation process but you can check on your application launch for particular app (with package name) is installed or not and if not then re-direct it to play store.
