Thanks Mark. Here is my problem in more detail: I want to bring up the Market details page of another one of my apps so I fire off an intent to:
market://details?id=com.mycompany.myapp Three things can go wrong with this (OK, maybe more, but...): 1. market:// scheme cannot be resolved 2. no internet connection 3. package not found In the case of 2 I get a dialog box saying "A network error has occurred...". In the case of 3 I get a dialog box saying "A server error has occurred...". Neither of these are very intuitive for the user. I'm not sure what happens in case 1 - still need to test that (hence this topic). Maybe my question is more "How to check whether the market:// scheme can be resolved?".
