What is the package name of the Android Market or Google Apps

Question

I need to check if the Android Market is installed like this

    /*
     * Test for existence of Android Market
     */
    boolean androidMarketExists = fal         


        

Answer 1

It's com.android.vending (on my Galaxy S), and here's the better way to find out... by querying for who handles market:// URIs.

    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://search?q=foo"));
    PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
    List list = pm.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);

If the list has at least one entry, the Market's there.
