[android-developers] Search Market by Publisher Name
This link describes how to search the Android Market for apps using various parameters: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/publishing.html I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to format a link for my apps published by my company using this format. For searching by developer name, the doc says to use the following format: market://search?q=pub:Developer Name It also says it returns exact matches only. My publisher name is Polyclef Software. I guess I'm wondering why Google can't make a market search feature that searches for substrings in the publisher's name, but aside from that, how am I supposed to format the link? Neither of the following work: market://search?q=pub:Polyclef Software market://search?q=pub:Polyclef+Software I've tried a number of variations now and nothing works.

If you're trying to create an actual hyperlink for a website, that won't work. The market search URI you're using only works for the mobile version of the Android Market. For example if you created an Intent for one of those links, it would search the Android Market app for you publisher name. - TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Search Market by Publisher Name
space is %20 not + so poxx%20software try it on ur browser first to get the exact string it sends then use that for market. I think they might be using standard url encoding if i am not mistaken On Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 9:27 AM, polyclefsoftware dja...@gmail.com wrote: This link describes how to search the Android Market for apps using various parameters: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/publishing.html I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to format a link for my apps published by my company using this format.
