Hi all,

I am trying to find a way to detect in the android browser whether my
application has been installed.

Use case:
I have a web page that a user can reach via there android web
browser.  If the application is installed it would show "Tips &
tricks".  If it is not installed, it would show promotional material
and a link to download the app.

Attempted solution:
My initial thoughts have been to associate my application with a
custom mime type using  the apps manifest and in the web page iterate
javascript's mimeTypes array.  I figured if the mime type showed up in
the array, I could assume that the application was installed.

Unfortunately, the mimeTypes array doesn't ever change.

Any ideas how I could determine if my application is installed when
the user accesses my web page via the android browser?

Thanks for any help / insight you might have.

    - Jim
