Question

I’m developing an application that uses Navigation. The problem is that if the device doesn’t have the Navigation app, the application crash with an exception. Time before I did another application that checks if the package exists and if not, the application redirects to you to the market.

How can I do that? Is that a generic check? Or was it only for the package that I used?

Also… if I can check it, I could try to do the intent and if I catch the exception, then redirect to market… the question is, how can I redirect to the market?

Thanks

You can create Intent with market://details?id=<package_name> URL to invoke apps page on market.
