Android Tutorial => Open Google Play Store Listing for your app

Example

The following code snippet shows how to open the Google Play Store Listing of your app in a safe way. Usually you want to use it when asking the user to leave a review for your app.

private void openPlayStore() {
    String packageName = getPackageName();
    Intent playStoreIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
            Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + packageName));
    setFlags(playStoreIntent);
    try {
        startActivity(playStoreIntent);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Intent webIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + packageName));
        setFlags(webIntent);
        startActivity(webIntent);
    }
}

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
private void setFlags(Intent intent) {
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT);
    else
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
}

Note: The code opens the Google Play Store if the app is installed. Otherwise it will just open the web browser.
