Thanks for posting the added informtion---that allows a quick answer (and a detailed one to explain in more detail) for you..... Quick answer: if you are trying to access the Market from a web browser, use the INTERNET link. If you are trying to access it via the Market app, use the above links. Ideally, you should use a QR barcode for the above links, and for the Internet Market link, a barcode and a normal (HTML) link. More on this in a bit. MORE DETAILED ANSWER: For example, my latest app, a live wallpaper, is at: http://market.android.com/details?id=com.jdgapps.BouncingBuckies AND http://developer.soc.io/apps/Bouncing_Buckies_Live_Wallpaper AND (on the device-accessed Market) market://details?id=com.jdgapps.BouncingBuckies I was using both the first and the last (Internet Market and Android-based Market) for QR Barcodes, but then I realized that, when scanning with the free app, "Barcode Scanner", both will take you to the same spot on the usual Android Market, so now I only use the first. Suggestions on making and using QR barcodes: 1) Use the free site at http://www.qrdvark.com/qr-generator/ to make them. Just enter the link, and (IMHO) follow the remaining suggestions: 2) Use 512x512 for your barcode. It takes up more screen space, but it's also easier to scan from a bit farther back---the user doesn't have to put the phone's camera right up to the screen. 3) Use the maximum amount of error correction (H). 4) On the above site, you MUST make the barcode's link TEXT, not URL. Where it asks you to enter the text for your link, enter the link itself. The click on "Create QR Barcode" and it'll be a bit lower on the screen. Hope this helps....
