React-Native: How to open google play store from react native app?
You can use deeplinking to redirect your user from your app using this: https://developer.android.com/distribute/tools/promote/linking.html
and the Linking
API from react-native:
http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/linking.html
For future users, you could go on to read the docs from the accepted answer for more info. But if you want a faster result, here it is.
Using Linking
from react-native
as
import { Linking } from 'react-native'
Linking.openURL("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=<package_name>")
If you're using expo, then the below code is for you.
Install the expo-linking
package via expo install expo-linking
import * as Linking from "expo-linking";
Linking.openURL("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=<package_name>")
NOTE: <package_name>
is your app's package name defined in the manifest file or app.json
if you're using expo
If people are too lazy to read through the annoyingly SPA dev docs of android:
market://details?id=<package_name>
In react-native land:
Linking.openURL("market://details?id=<package_name>");
Example:
Linking.openURL("market://details?id=googoo.android.btgps");
Edit:
Make sure to import Linking
in order to use it
import { View, Text, StyleSheet, Linking } from 'react-native';
