If you are in the MainActivity, you can use:

MainActivity.this.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=YourPackageName")));

But if you are a Fragment, is important add Flag "FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK" in your intent, like this code:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=YourPackageName"));
startActivity(intent);

if you need to know your package name, you can verify it in your manifests file 

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="Here"
android:versionCode="40"
android:versionName="6.7">

Use this code to redirect user to the market:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=your.game.package.name"));
startActivity(intent);

Hope this helps.
