Share application link in Android

Question

I want my application user to be able to share recommend my app to other users  I use the ACTION SEND intent  I add plain text saying something along the lines of  install this cool application  But I can t find a way to enable users to directly go to the install screen of market place for instance  All I can provide them with is a web link or some text  In other words I am looking for a very direct way for android users to have my app installed   Thanks for any help pointers   Thomas

Thomas   You would want to provide your users with a market    link which will bring them directly to the details page of your app   The following is from developer android com      Loading an application s Details page      In Android Market  every application   has a Details page that provides an   overview of the application for users    For example  the page includes a short   description of the app and screen   shots of it in use  if supplied by the   developer  as well as feedback from   users and information about the   developer  The Details page also   includes an  Install  button that lets   the user trigger the download purchase   of the application       If you want to refer the user to a   specific application  your   application can take the user directly   to the application s Details page  To   do so  your application sends an   ACTION VIEW Intent that includes a URI   and query parameter in this format       market   details id       In this case  the packagename   parameter is target application s   fully qualified package name  as   declared in the package attribute of   the manifest element in the   application s manifest file  For   example       market   details id com example android jetboy   Source  http   developer android com guide publishing publishing html
