Android Question Linking To My Products On The Play Store

[RichardN]

This used to work rather well:

Sub ShowMyAppsOnThePlayStore

     Dim i As Intent
     i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW, "https://play.google.com/store/search?q=%22Bloggs%20Software%22")
     StartActivity(i)
     Return

End Sub

Now it returns a headline of 9 items, 5 of which are other people's products !

Does anybody have a better URL or a better method of doing this?

The problem is that you are SEARCHING, you should enter your developer ID:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=<YOUR_DEVELOPER_ID>

For me this works:

    i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW, "market://search?q=pub:~[xxxxxx]~".Replace("~", QUOTE))

change xxxxxx with your Bloggs Software and remove the square brackets, of course.

BTW, on my smartphones it will be displayed well, on my tablet the activity (?) is very small.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=<YOUR_DEVELOPER_ID>

I will try this also

@NJDude's link works but shows a list of apps to open the page (browsers or Play Store).

The link I posted opens directly an activity.

when you don't have google play (store) installed or it's messed up the market:// one won't work.

you can use the https one as second option.

the result will be the same when using StartActivity(p.OpenBrowser()) and will show up in an external browser.

when you don't have google play (store) installed

If you don't have google play store installed, can you install apps from the google play store?

 

[sorex]

it depends. some chinese hardware comes with alternatives (samsung store, opera, amazon ...) as google play is blocked overthere.

if not you still have a lot of APK download sites. (with potential risk to download windows or mobile virusses)
