[android-developers] Re: Market:// links in WebView
WebView should be asking the system to open any links by default anyway. A normal URL should open the Browser app, a market URL should open the Market app, provided you are testing on a phone with the Market app installed. Are you sure the phone you are testing on has the Market app installed? If so, are you sure you aren't calling setWebViewClient with something that overrides shouldOverrideUrlLoading to have some alternative behavior, like to load all URLs in the WebView? If you are doing the later, it is pretty trivial to check if the URL passed to that method starts with the market protocol, and just startActivity for an ACTION_VIEW intent for that URL instead of loading it in the WebView.

[android-developers] Re: Market:// links in WebView
What you'll need to do is create a link from your webview into your
app by using a JavaScript command. Inside your app you create an
intent that opens the market app:
JavaScript:
// Launch Market App... (appid is package name)
function launchMarket( appId ) {
webViewClass.launchMarket( appId ) ;
}
Java:
public void launchMarket(String appId) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(market://details?id= + appId));
startActivity(intent);
finish() ;
}
You'll also need the requisite code to allow all this to happen, I
assume you know how to do that already. If not, Mark Murphy has an
excellent book that details all this out.

[android-developers] Re: Market:// links in WebView
Thanks for the response! The other problem I have with this is I'm
showing ads with admob but within the webview rather than using the
android native code (theres a good reason for this) but would this
sort of code be scaleable to work with admob too? I'm not very
familiar with JavaScript.

It would depend on the code admob uses. If the point of your question is because of admob, then you may be able to figure out their call to start the market and wrap that in a function that starts the intent within your app. There may be other ways as well. The example I used was how I do it. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
