sorry for the slow reply - I didn't see the email.
I'm using rails - the code is pretty simple:
def is_android_device
user_agent = request.env['HTTP_USER_AGENT'].downcase
is_type=false
if user_agent =~ /android/i
is_type=true
end
return is_type
end
and:
if (is_android_device)
redirect_to "market://" + search
else
redirect_to :action => "offer_email", :search => search, :name =>
name
end
glad you like it!

Awesome! Thanks much Rob! Bookmarking.
Out of curiosity, how do you go about doing this programmatically on
the Web server side?

Hi Folks,
I just launched my app VLC Remote and was surprised to see that there
isn't a way to post a link to the app on the market that works both on
my android device and also in my browser.
-so I made a way, and I'm opening it up for all-comers.
What it does is lets you post an http link like this
http://and-download.hobbyistsoftware.com/android/download?name=VLC
Remote&q=pname:com.hobbyistsoftware.android.vlcremote
If someone clicks on the link from an android device, then the link
opens in the market. If they click from their computer, then it offers
to send them a link by email (so they can click on the link on their
device).
the download emails have a (subtle) advert for my app, but the feature
is clearly your app!
details are here:http://and-download.hobbyistsoftware.com/
I'm hoping this will be useful for people, so please use it anywhere
you like.
cheers,
Rob
