Ah. In that case, pass your Intent to PackageManager's queryIntentOptions() method. If you get back an empty list, Market will not be available (more accurately, nothing will be able to handle your Intent). I think you can use ConnectivityManager to handle scenario #2. If by "package not found" in #3 you mean that com.mycompany.myapp doesn't exist, I suspect there is no clean way to handle that. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
