Open an App in App Store or Play Store from Adobe AIR for Mobile

rjoshicool — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 18:59:13 +0000

In one of my recent applications there was a requirement to open other apps by same publisher in the respective stores on both iOS and Android platforms. After looking a bit over the internet and doing some experiments, I was able to find how to do so. Though the approaches are pretty straight forward and what most of ActionScript developers usually do on daily basis, I wanted to share it in case someone was looking for it.

To open an app on Apple App Store on an iOS device, simply use:

navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/moneyman/id503230204?ls=1&mt=8"));

To open an app in Google Play store, use the same method:

navigateToURL(new URLRequest("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.bg1.lite"));

Using the above code will usually give option to either open the link in browser on the Google Play Store.

In case you want to directly open the app directly in the Google Play Store, you can use:

market://details?id=air.com.bg1.lite

Here the parameter id is the reverse DNS nomenclature or unique id for your app.

Recently I updated my website to a with a new WordPress Theme. I’ve been quite a busy setting up the new design and adding content to the new design. I hope the site is now quite a bit done with the design changes.

I though of giving away the PSD for the previous website design. The previous design is a clean and elegant minimalistic one with design. I am giving away this freebie for people to use as it is or use elements from it to build the site upon.
