I just can't find a simple bit of sample code online that shows how to
do this so I'm trying to piece it together as best as I can. Any help
is appreciated.
I am following the suggestions on the doc page page about publishing
w.r.t. notifying users of version updates. I already have a simple
text file on my website that indicates the current version and I can
successfully read the file and check the current version against the
installed version, so I can notify the user that they need to update
(this all works), but I can't help them by launching the market app,
much less launching it with a specific query to my app's market page.
Here's how I thought it should be done:
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction("ACTION_VIEW");
Uri uri = Uri.parse("market://search?q=pname:<packageName>");
i.setData(uri);
try {
startActivity(i);
}
catch (Exception e) {
String es = e.getMessage();
Log.v("", es);
}
It fails with a ActivityNotFoundException. It fails in an identical
fashion with several other URIs, for example:
http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:<packageName>
market://search?q=pub:"My Name"
market://search?q=MyFirstName
I am doing all of these on the actual device, not the emulator, and
the device has a network connection...if that makes a difference
although I wouldn't expect it to be necessary.
What's wrong?
Thanks.
