Question

My free app (which is not on the market yet) has a button that supposed to lead the user to the paid app… to do so im using:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.android.example"));
startActivity(intent);

the question is what do i put instead of com.android.example? Is it the name of the package that i made when i first created the project?

Answer 1

Yes, the id that Market uses is the same as the package name as it is specified in your AndroidManifest.xml file:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.etc.etc.yourpackagename">
    ...
</manifest>
