How to open the Google Play Store directly from my Android application?

As the official docs use https:// instead of market://, this combines Eric's and M3-n50's answer with code reuse (don't repeat yourself):

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
    .setData(Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + getPackageName()));
try {
    startActivity(new Intent(intent)
                  .setPackage("com.android.vending"));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException exception) {
    startActivity(intent);
}

It tries to open with the GPlay app if it exists and falls back to default.

Kotlin:

Extension:

fun Activity.openAppInGooglePlay(){

val appId = BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID
try {
    this.startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=$appId")))
} catch (anfe: ActivityNotFoundException) {
    this.startActivity(
        Intent(
            Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
            Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=$appId")
        )
    )
}}

Method:

    fun openAppInGooglePlay(activity:Activity){

        val appId = BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID
        try {
            activity.startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=$appId")))
        } catch (anfe: ActivityNotFoundException) {
            activity.startActivity(
                Intent(
                    Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                    Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=$appId")
                )
            )
        }
    }

Very late in the party Official docs are here. And code described is

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(
    "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.android"));
intent.setPackage("com.android.vending");
startActivity(intent);

As you configure this intent, pass "com.android.vending" into Intent.setPackage() so that users see your app's details in the Google Play Store app instead of a chooser. for KOTLIN

val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).apply {
    data = Uri.parse(
            "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.android")
    setPackage("com.android.vending")
}
startActivity(intent)

If you have published an instant app using Google Play Instant, you can launch the app as follows:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri.Builder uriBuilder = Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details")
    .buildUpon()
    .appendQueryParameter("id", "com.example.android")
    .appendQueryParameter("launch", "true");

// Optional parameters, such as referrer, are passed onto the launched
// instant app. You can retrieve these parameters using
// Activity.getIntent().getData().
uriBuilder.appendQueryParameter("referrer", "exampleCampaignId");

intent.setData(uriBuilder.build());
intent.setPackage("com.android.vending");
startActivity(intent);

For KOTLIN

val uriBuilder = Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details")
        .buildUpon()
        .appendQueryParameter("id", "com.example.android")
        .appendQueryParameter("launch", "true")

// Optional parameters, such as referrer, are passed onto the launched
// instant app. You can retrieve these parameters using Activity.intent.data.
uriBuilder.appendQueryParameter("referrer", "exampleCampaignId")

val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).apply {
    data = uriBuilder.build()
    setPackage("com.android.vending")
}
startActivity(intent)

Some of the answers to this question are outdated.

What worked for me (in 2020) was to explicitly tell the intent to skip the chooser and directly open the play store app, according to this link:

"If you want to link to your products from an Android app, create an Intent that opens a URL. As you configure this intent, pass "com.android.vending" into Intent.setPackage() so that users see your app's details in the Google Play Store app instead of a chooser."

This is the Kotlin code I used to direct users to viewing the app containing the package name com.google.android.apps.maps in Google Play:

val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).apply {
               data = Uri.parse("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps")
               setPackage("com.android.vending")
            }
            startActivity(intent)

I hope that helps someone!

Kotlin

fun openAppInPlayStore(appPackageName: String) {
    try {
        startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=$appPackageName")))
    } catch (exception: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException) {
        startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=$appPackageName")))
    }
}

This link will open the app automatically in market:// if you are on Android and in browser if you are on PC.

https://play.app.goo.gl/?link=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.id&ddl=1&pcampaignid=web_ddl_1

My kotlin entension function for this purpose

fun Context.canPerformIntent(intent: Intent): Boolean {
        val mgr = this.packageManager
        val list = mgr.queryIntentActivities(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY)
        return list.size > 0
    }

And in your activity

val uri = if (canPerformIntent(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://")))) {
            Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName)
        } else {
            Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + appPackageName)
        }
        startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri))

Peoples, dont forget that you could actually get something more from it. I mean UTM tracking for example. https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/android/v4/campaigns

public static final String MODULE_ICON_PACK_FREE = "com.example.iconpack_free";
public static final String APP_STORE_URI =
        "market://details?id=%s&referrer=utm_source=%s&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=plugin";
public static final String APP_STORE_GENERIC_URI =
        "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=%s&referrer=utm_source=%s&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=plugin";

try {
    startActivity(new Intent(
        Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
        Uri.parse(String.format(Locale.US,
            APP_STORE_URI,
            MODULE_ICON_PACK_FREE,
            getPackageName()))).addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
    startActivity(new Intent(
        Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
        Uri.parse(String.format(Locale.US,
            APP_STORE_GENERIC_URI,
            MODULE_ICON_PACK_FREE,
            getPackageName()))).addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP));
}

A kotlin verison with fallback and current syntax

 fun openAppInPlayStore() {
    val uri = Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + context.packageName)
    val goToMarketIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri)

    var flags = Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
    flags = if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
        flags or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT
    } else {
        flags or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK
    }

    goToMarketIntent.addFlags(flags)

    try {
        startActivity(context, goToMarketIntent, null)
    } catch (e: ActivityNotFoundException) {
        val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                Uri.parse("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + context.packageName))

        startActivity(context, intent, null)
    }
}

KOTLIN : create extension in context.

fun Context.openPlayStoreApp(pkgName:String?){
    if(!pkgName.isNullOrEmpty()) {
        try {
            startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=$pkgName")))
        } catch (e: ActivityNotFoundException) {
            startActivity(
                Intent(
                    Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                    Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=$pkgName")
                )
            )
        }
    }
}

Hope it should work.

For Rate Application: Redirect to Playstore. In Flutter, you can do it through a Platform channel Like this

Flutter Part:-

 static const platform = const MethodChannel('rateApp');   // initialize 

onTap: platform.invokeMethod('urls', {'android_id': 'com.xyz'}),

Now Android Native Part(Java):

private static final String RATEAPP = "rateApp";  // initialize variable

// Now in ConfigureFlutterEngine funtion:

        new MethodChannel(flutterEngine.getDartExecutor().getBinaryMessenger(), RATEAPP)
            .setMethodCallHandler(
                    (call, result) -> {               
                        if (call.method.equals("urls") && call.hasArgument("android_id")) {
                            String id = call.argument("android_id").toString();
                          
                            try {
                                startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("$uri" + id)));
                            } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
                                startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + id)));
                            }
                            result.success("Done");
                        } else {
                            result.notImplemented();
                        }
                    }
            );
