How to link directly to Google Play Store?

I think the link is: market://details.id=< packagename >, but if I do

system.openURL(“market://details.id=< packagename >”)

nothing happens. (Of course, I substitute my app’s package name in there).

Help? [import]uid: 160496 topic_id: 30834 reply_id: 330834[/import]

try this

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

I did do that. That gives the user a choice to continue to the browser or to the store. The other method, if it worked, would go to the store only… [import]uid: 160496 topic_id: 30834 reply_id: 123547[/import]

yea… but the other method has to come from an intent within the app… I had been looking into this too. Oh well, thought I would throw it out there. [import]uid: 55582 topic_id: 30834 reply_id: 123552[/import]

Everyone,

We have a new API called [lua]native.showPopup(“rateApp”)[/lua] which will do exactly this for Google Play, Amazon, Nook, Samsung, and iTunes app store. Have a look at this post here for more details…
