Redirect to Play store

I want to redirect user to my Play Store application page, when they type some url in their mobile browser. I tried following code, but it redirect to play store website instead of Play Store app in android phone.

<script type="text/javascript">
var userAgent = navigator.userAgent || navigator.vendor || window.opera;

if (/android/i.test(userAgent)) {
    window.location = "http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example";
}
</script>

After some searching on google I found that I have to use market url. Than I changed code as follow. But still no luck. This code is not redirecting anywhere.

<script type="text/javascript">
var userAgent = navigator.userAgent || navigator.vendor || window.opera;

if (/android/i.test(userAgent)) {
    window.location = "market://details?id=com.example";
}
</script>

Can anyone help me to identify what I missed in this?

Did you check the following url :

https://developer.android.com/distribute/tools/promote/linking.html#OpeningPublisher

For example if I try browsing the following url mentioned in above site

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps

it opens map app in playstore in my phone. The point is though the particular device should have playstore app installed.
