Question

I want put a link in my app, in actionbar, for sending email to others, for going to app market.

the app markets link, for opening chooser is:

market://details?id=info.shandel.maghalat.shariati

I write this string in the string file in values folder:

<string name="myMail_Body">Hi \n\n install this app \n\n click this link for going to your favorite market: \n\n market://details?id=info.shandel.maghalat.shariati" </string>

now, when app send email to others, market link is not a link and email reciever can not click it. it is text.

what can I do?

please help.

I am in iran. we, irainian, can not put our app in google play.

I want opening the market chooser in mobile, and user can select his/her favorite market among installed apps in his/her mobile.

please help me to convert:

"market://details?id=info.shandel.maghalat.shariati"

to a link in email body.

the problem is that: my address does not "http://".

when I try other address with prefix "http://", it works good.

Try to use a http url:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.shandel.maghalat.shariati

Many e-mail clients will show that as a clickable link.

please look at this code: getResource.getString(Html.fromHtml(R.string.myMail_Body)) is it correct? – کانون آرمان شریعتی Jul 05 '14 at 10:28

Try to place the below line in string.xml file and try to class that where you require...

<string name="share_text_content">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.shandel.maghalat.shariati</string>

Try this one.. It is working for me.. String link_val = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.shandel.maghalat.shariati" String body = "" + link_val+ "" intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(body)); – vinay Maneti Jul 05 '14 at 07:44
why do you put link_val twice? – کانون آرمان شریعتی Jul 05 '14 at 08:16
second link_val is what ever you want you can have like "download our app" instead of writing link_val.. – vinay Maneti Jul 05 '14 at 09:08
the problem is that: my address does not "http://". when I try other address with prefix "http://", it works good. – کانون آرمان شریعتی Jul 05 '14 at 09:38
