The system installer can only open APK files present on the Local file system. You can download the APK yourself and then install it, or you can use the same intent without the mime type to download it using the default browser (then the user will have to click on the downloaded file to install it).

Then just use the following line to download it :intent.setData(uri); – XGouchet Feb 05 '13 at 12:52

Ok, The exception you are getting ActivityNotFoundException is because your android emulator doesn't have Google Play installed on it.

You should not have any problem testing it on any actual device.

For more info about Google Play On Emulator please visit this link Google Play On Emulator
