However, you have no way of getting control of this URL for com.my.package.name, as Intent filters do not work on the query string. Had they gone REST-ish (market://details/com/my/package/name), then this might have worked. > I know that I can put a URL that is under my control that would > redirect to the Market...but that would require the user to select the > tag once it's been collected by the default Tags app Correct. > The Google IO Fruit Ninja demo shows something similar to what I want > to do, but there it seems that they are using foreground Ndef Push to > push the market URL and then entering P2P from there. I think this is also correct. It is possible that something new will crop up with the NFC support in Ice Cream Sandwich that will offer a better flow here, but I suspect that you are out of luck for now. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 4.0 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
