Android :: Using Intent To View Specific Application In Android Market

Jul 8, 2009

I've seen a few other threads on this subject, but none that addresses my need which is to not only find the app in the market via the market uri, but display it as if the user had navigated to it. The closest anyone has gotten to this answer is to show how to bring up the Android Market app and browse for the app you want which shows the single result in a list that the user must still select to get to the screen I want to display.

Here's my existing code that does exactly that:
private static final String MY_MARKET_APP = "com.some.silly.name";
Intent marketLaunch = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
marketLaunch.setData(Uri.parse("market://search?q=pname:" + MY_MARKET_APP));
startActivity(marketLaunch);

I don't want to have to force the user to select this single item from the list - just bypass that and bring up the next screen.

Android :: How To Know User Purchased Specific Application In Market?

Jul 21, 2009

Use case goes like this:

1) Dev puts game for sale on Android market hoping to make lots of $$ $.
2) Dev makes $50 in a month, cries a little, realizes his game is languishing in the ratings so makes it free.
3) Game does really well and gets > 50,000 downloads.
4) Dev still wants to make some $$$ off his game, so adds a "donate" feature to app which points users to another app dev has created in the marketplace where they can donate by buying the app.
5) Dev wants to reward those who have donated by providing new features only to them.

How do I go about determining if any given user has purchased either my original app, or my "donate" app so that I can unlock functionality? I'd like to determine this even if the user no longer has the app installed on their phone. Then android market app seems to know this which is how it knows not to charge the user again for the same app they've already paid for.

Android :: Any Intent To View User Twitter Feed In Application?

Sep 29, 2010

I have a user's twitter handle. Right now I'm opening it through a web page like:
String url = "http://www.twitter.com/" + "example_handle";
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(intent);

If the user has the Twitter android app installed, is there a different intent I can use which gives the user the option to view that user's twitter feed in the Twitter app, instead of forcing them directly to a browser? I'm not sure if the author's of the Twitter app have exposed any such intent.

Android :: Android Market Place Crashes On Receiving Intent For An Application That Doesn't Exists In Marketplace

Mar 25, 2010

I am creating an application that checks the installation of a package and exits after launching the market-place with its id.

When I try to launch market place with id of an application say com.mybrowser.android by throwing an intent android.intent.action.VIEW with url: market://details?id=com.mybrowser.android, the market place application does launches but crashes after launch.

The application com.mybrowser.android doesn't exist on the market- place.

MyApplication is my application.

CODE:....................

However, when I try to launch the market place for a package that exists in the market place say com.opera.mini.android, everything works. Here is the log of this case:

Android :: Which View / Layout Does Market Application (1.6) Details Activity Use?

Feb 26, 2010

I want to do something very similar (in terms of appearance) to the app details activity of the Market app. It looks like a cross between linear layout (not all rows the same), list (scrolling nature), preferences (headings). My guess is its a linear layout in a scroll view (ignoring activity header/footer) and the headings are just hard coded.

Android :: How To Trigger Intent To Execute Specific Method From One Activity?

I've been searching a way to implement an intent so when a user clicks on a notification, an specific method from an activity is executed (or an specific behavior happens). Right now I'm thinking about using broadcast but I don't know if this is the best way to implement this functionality. How would you implement it?

Android :: Specify Scheme Specific Part In Data Tag For An Intent-filter?

Feb 3, 2010

I want to set up a BroadcastReceiver to handle PACKAGE_REPLACED, but I only want to be notified when my package is replaced. It works fine if I specify a data tag with scheme="package" but then I get notified when any application is reinstalled or upgraded. I can't figure out how I'm supposed to specify the package name which is in the scheme specific part -- that is, when my BroadcastReceiver gets the intent in onRecieve(), if I do intent.getData().getSchemeSpecificPart(), that's the package name, but is there any way I can filter for only that in my intent-filter?

Android :: View Image In Action View Intent?

Nov 16, 2009

I'd like to show a png or jpg I downloaded from the next in an image viewer intent, but can't get it to work.

Bitmap bmp = getImageBitmap(jpg);
String path = getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath() + "/test.png";
File file = new File(path);
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
bmp.compress( CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos );
fos.close();
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(path)), "image/png");
startActivity(intent);

I know the bitmap is downloaded ok (use the same routine for supplying it my ImageView instances elsewhere in my app) - I think it wrote to file ok, I can see it on disk and the file size is correct. The intent is launched but an exception is thrown: then the new activity just sits there, blank. How does this work?

Android :: Any Way To Use XML Layout Files For Specific View?

I have a custom View that I'd like to specify the layout of in an XML file rather than through code, is there anyway I can take an Android XML layout file and use it to flush out my custom View's content? I know it can be done in an Activity via the setContentView method, but there doesn't seem to be a similar method for Views.

Android :: Targeting Specific Carriers In Market?

Oct 28, 2010

I read here: http://www.androidguys.com/2009/10/11/developers-can-now-target-by-carrier-in-android-market/ that it can be done if you go to the Android Market, and go to your app, then go to Publishing Options -> Locations, but I don't see anything to select a specific carrier there, only specific countries. Is this something that Google changed? Can this still be done, or is it done automatically? Can't the carrier be detected from the device?

I don't want to use a default text style because normal text will have a different size, etc.

General :: Movies Via Android Market - Country Or Network Specific?

Mar 7, 2012

I have an HTC Desire HD on Orange UK. In the market I have only ever seen apps & books. I have never seen movies or music listed. I have, until now, assumed that these were probably only available in certain countries because of licensing agreements.

I was discussing the rebranding to Google Play with a colleague, only to find out that they have, and have done for a while, a section in their Market /Play Store for movies. They have an HTC Desire S on T Mobile UK.

Why would I not have movies available via my market? I'm guessing that it wouldn't be handset compatibility, so would it be that Orange are blocking this for some reason? Who else, in the UK, has the movies option, and who doesn't? What is the common ground between each group?

They do not have music as a Market section, so I guess that I was right about this, and it is not available to the UK at all?

I'm using Eclipse and have an emulator running Android 2.1 and my IntentService. I'd like to step through my onHandleIntent() overridden function. I've put in a breakpoint on the first statement of the function, which is Context context = getBaseContext();. When the intent is called the program just fails and does not go to debug view in Eclipse.

Android :: Package Name For Droid Apps To Use Intent To Launch Market App From Web?

May 7, 2010

I'm creating a mobile website that will include a page from which people can download relevant apps that we recommend. I've found instructions for creating the links to launch the Market but this assumes that you are the developer of the app in question and know the exact package name.

Is there any way to get the package name, other than just contacting the developers and asking?

Also, it turns out that those instructions don't really work for creating web hyperlinks. They only give you a URI to reference in a string of Java code in another Android app. Our site is in Drupal, so Java is not going to work.

For the iPhone, I found easy instructions for getting the URL/link style I need from the iTunes store, so I'm looking for info like that.

Android :: How To Launch Market Intent In 'Give Feedback' Mode?

I have just written a game for the Android market and would like to remind my customers to leave feeback on the market for the application (especially the demo version.) Is there any way to launch the market intent in a mode that will take the user to the feedback / comments section of the page?I already use this approach for linking my demo to the paid app.

Is there a best practice that any Android devs out there might know of?Additionally, is there any way to track referalls from my demo app so that I can try to calculate some kind of a conversion rate? (i.e. how effective the demo app is at generating sales.)

Android :: Determine If A Specific Activity In An Application Can Be Launched

Jun 9, 2010

Applications can have any number of launchable activities. I know how to get the list of these activities via PackageManager.

Is there a way to determine which activities can be launched via startActivity?

For example, the Documents To Go app has different activities that will start Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, etc... I am able to launch all o these just fine.

However, it also contains some activities that I am not able to launch with startActivity... If I attempt to do this I get a SecurityException.

I want to be able to determine which activities I can safely launch and which I cannot so I only present the user with a list of activities that I can safely launch from within my application...

What I am trying to do is make it so all notifications are at 10% volume during the night, but Id like to make notifications from Google Talk louder, like at 50%. I haven't been able to find anything that would allow a rule like that, but thought Id ask since you guys seem to know everything!

Android :: Combining Map View And List View In Application

Aug 4, 2010

I am working on an application where I need to display some locations on a map and in a list view where the user should be able to toggle between these views(activities?). I want the toggle button(s) to be in my custom titlebar like in the images (if they are attached). What is the best practice for this? Tab view seems like a solution but can I customize the tab buttons? Should the map and list be in different activities or the same? Now I have two different activities one extending MapActivity and one extending ListActivity but no way to toggle between them. Is it possible to load activities into a FrameLayout?
