Android : Open google play dialog from my app

Question

From Android Youtube app when I click on the advertising, there is a dialog of the Google Play and you can install the app from the dialog.
With a Activity monitor I found this parameters:
1 - com.android.vending
2 - com.google.android.finsky.activities.InlineAppDetailsDialog

I tried to set a Uri "market://details?id=example.package", but nothing is succeded.

This is a dialog that open when I click the advertising.

Based on your findings and the help of fellow Android developers, I've concluded that this feature of Play Store app is exclusive for select Google's partners. The conclusion is based on the decompiled code of com.google.android.finsky.activities.InlineAppDetailsDialog, which includes a switch that checks for the calling package's application ID and signature. Only authorized apps are allowed to show this dialogue.

Here's part of the decompiled code:

switch (string2.hashCode()) {
            case 714499313: {
                if (!string2.equals("com.facebook.katana")) break;
                n2 = 0;
                break;
            }
            case 419128298: {
                if (!string2.equals("com.facebook.wakizashi")) break;
                n2 = 1;
                break;
            }
            case -649684660: {
                if (!string2.equals("flipboard.app")) break;
                n2 = 2;
                break;
            }
            case 1249065348: {
                if (!string2.equals("com.kakao.talk")) break;
                n2 = 3;
                break;
            }
            case 1153658444: {
                if (!string2.equals("com.linkedin.android")) break;
                n2 = 4;
                break;
            }
            case -583737491: {
                if (!string2.equals("com.pinterest")) break;
                n2 = 5;
                break;
            }

                break;
            }
            case 1387611572: {
                if (!string2.equals("com.google.android.youtube.tv")) break;
                n2 = 16;
                break;
            }
            case 886484461: {
                if (!string2.equals("com.google.android.apps.youtube.kids")) break;
                n2 = 17;
                break;
            }
            case 1386399663: {
                if (!string2.equals("com.google.android.apps.youtube.gaming")) break;
                n2 = 18;
                break;
            }
            case 1713433253: {
                if (!string2.equals("com.google.android.apps.youtube.music")) break;
                n2 = 19;
                break;
            }
            case 1252744364: {
                if (!string2.equals("com.google.android.apps.youtube.creator")) break;
                n2 = 20;
                break;
            }
            case 304833084: {
                if (!string2.equals("com.google.android.apps.youtube.vr")) break;
                n2 = 21;
                break;
            }
            case 1712832578: {
                if (!string2.equals("com.google.android.apps.youtube.mango")) break;
                n2 = 22;
                break;
            }

When attempting to launch this activity from a test app, I get the following logs:

06-09 10:44:30.100 5180-5180/? W/Finsky: [2] com.google.android.finsky.activities.InlineAppDetailsDialog.onCreate(88): Called from untrusted package.

So it seems that at least as of writing this answer, it is not possible to do what you want. Let's hope that this feature will be open for 3rd parties in the future.
