Hello,
I'm also just beginning with Android, every day we learn :).
So, about the intent.
If you're using a normal Activity (or a derivative thereof), starting a new
Intent to open a URL would look like the following:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse("thisismyurl.com"));
startActivity(i);
Now, if you replace the URL (thisismyurl.com) with the URL of your app on
the Play Store, Android will automatically detect that and prompt the user
to open the link using either one of the browsers, or the Play Store
application.
Hope this helped.
