what would a typical URL look like when going straight through to a marketplace app such as google maps etc?
i want to mess around with some QR's but have no idea how to link them straight through to an app.
cheers for any help.

What do you guys use to scan barcodes to open marketplace links? Google Goggles can read them but I don't see an option to open the marketplace

I wonder why Google didn't just add this into Goggles
How would you read those barcodes...if you're looking at them on the phone?
I was reading something on my phone, and they posted a barcode but I was left without a way to use the link. lol
Mirrors, and lots of them.

Hi all,
I had a few apps on the Play Store some months ago, which got removed after Google decided to ban me from the Play Store for who knows what reason. Apparently the cause was the "sexy" nature of the apps, which still doesn't explain why my app got kicked out and so many apps that are much worse than mine still live there.
Well, anyway, I've decided to put them all back online on a website for users to download, so if you're interested in them feel free to download them and give me some feedback! All the apps have a brief descriptions and screenshots:
drfeelgoodsw . appspot . com (sorry, being a newbie no link allowed...)
They're all apps to quickly access galleries of well known sexy and gossip websites (Front Magazine, The Sun Page 3, Egotastic and so on), and they all allow you to mark those galleries as favourites, save them on your SD card, etc. Nothing fancy but I hope you'll enjoy them nevertheless! If you have any suggestion on how to improve them, or just know some other website you'd like a similar app to be made for, I'd love to hear it from you
They must have been deleted again because nothing comes up in a search for them

Sorry, I should have been clearer... by "back online" I actually meant they were available again on the web page I created for the purpose, not on the Play Store. I tried publishing them on Android PIT after they were removed from the Play Store, but that only lasted a few weeks, as apparently Android PIT only hosts apps that are also on the Play Store (quite silly of them, considering they're supposed to be an alternative market, but anyway...). I'm looking for other markets to publish the apps on, but until then the apps are available for download on the page I linked in my previous post. Those apps automatically look for updates using a JSON string on the same page, so updates should be easy to keep track of even without a Market in place.
No feedback? Either the apps are perfect the way they are, or they really suck!!

Also, I suspect that people are getting a bit wary of sideloading apks when they could be malware. That's unfortunately a level of trust you lost when you were banned from the play store.

Oh, I hadn't thought about that...
Well, if that can help, I can post a screenshot of the mail from Google describing their exact reason why I got banned, which had nothing to do with malicious behaviour in my app. That said, anyone can just monitor the traffic my app generates, and see that, apart from an update check at the beginning (a GET to retrieve a JSON file), the only connections are towards the website each app is wrapping. I would be quite dumb to post malicious apps on an expert den of Androiders like XDA Developers anyway ehehe
Anyway, if that can help I ca post the complete source code of one of the apps to let people check that everything's fine. The core of the apps is mostly the same (activities, sqlite database, image cache, httpclient+jsoup), apart from differences related to their structure (e.g., Page3 has much more activities and choices than GQ), so that should help understand I'm not hijacking anything. Of course, you could object there is no guarantee the code I'm posting is exactly the one used to generate the APKs, as we'd be back to the trust issue at the beginning...
Well, if there's any way I convince those in doubt that I'm in good faith just let me know. About the Play Store, unfortunately there's no way I can get back there. In the mail I received, I was told I was banned and that I could not open a new account to publish the apps again, so that's out of the question. Android PIT only accepts apps that already are on the store, so no go either. I tried other markets like Androlib and SlideMe, but both failed to send me the confirmation mails I needed to confirm the account, so I'm wondering if they're even a viable solution for developers right now. I've already discarded the Amazon App Store option, as there's an annual fee the likes of which only Apple could conceive. Anyone knows more alternatives to publish apps?
Hey, i found app promotion application in google store, and now im wondering is there more same kind of apps? Main point in this app is donwload exchange and its also free
you can try it if you want, theres already thousands of users.
but yes, anyone knows is there more alternatives?
Search in store for: com.app.promotion.free
Cant post links yet
I've an oddly specific question: if you search for a location, say a 7-eleven, using the Bing app or Bing in the browser, and you hit the directions button - what navigation app opens, Here WeGo?
Ive just tested it out, So it gives you a web based version of google maps, However you can always do the search in here we go for the 7 eleven, Or you can use google maps but the functions dont all work, Im actually loving here we go, Its clean and super easy to use!

Thanks for testing that out for me. I figured it'd open a web version of Google Maps because that's what happens on other Androids.
I like HERE WeGo too. I'm looking into using Tasker to open Google Maps links in HERE WeGo. But Tasker is kinda complicated for newbies.

^ this app opens Google Map links in HERE. Not the nicest implementation, but it works.

ive never heard of it, so it redirects from the google link process's it and re deploys it into here we go?

Yep, it does. But you've got to build the task. And Tasker is hard for newbies.
Send to Navigation pretty much does the same thing.
