how to redirect the user to the (android ,ios) market when the app doesnt installed

Question

Ihave an app that handles a custom URL scheme (Myapp://). When someone comes to a web page that has some Myapp:// content, we need to redirect them to the store if they don't have our app installed.

Answer 1

In android you can use Intents as url to open your app or redirect to google play if application not installed.

i need to do that from java script

You can change location like this:

window.location.href = "intent://test#Intent;package=com.test.app;end;";

Answer 2

For android, you need to mention the package name inside the url scheme like package=com.XYZ.ABC and then the android system will handle itself and open the play store if app is not present on the device. I'm not aware for IOS.

Answer 3

boolean installed = appInstalledOrNot("your package name");

if(!installed) 
{
  final String appPackageName = yourpackagename for the app to be installed; 
try {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?      id=" + appPackageName)));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,      Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + appPackageName)));
}
}

Answer 4

I've read your question very very thoroughly again. I hope I understand you correctly now:

• you have an app
• you have a web-page
• if someone opens the web-page and they have your app installed, the app is launched?!
• if someone opens the web-page and they don't have your app, they should be forwarded to the according appstore?!

For the last case: When you are using javascript, you should be able to check for the device type (with jQuery) and then do something like:

window.open('https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=' + yourPackageName);

see: redirect to appstore or google play
