Answer 1

Your code is right just needs minor changes

Check out code modified below:

boolean androidMarketExists = false;
    try{
        ApplicationInfo info = getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo("com.android.vending", 0 );
        if(info.packageName.equals("com.android.vending"))
            androidMarketExists = true;
        else
            androidMarketExists = false;
    } catch(PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e ){
        //application doesn't exist
        androidMarketExists = false;
    }
    if(!androidMarketExists){
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, "No Android Market");
        finish();
    }
    else{
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Android Market Installed");
    }
