Defect: Market links should open the android market #126

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
If I select an http link and send it to the phone, it opens the browser on the 
phone with the link.

However if this is a market link, it searches for the link rather than opening 
the android market.

Many blogs and articles for android apps usually have a market link to the app. 
It would be great if we could send this link to the phone, which would perform 
a search for that app.

Example market link -> 
market://search?q=pname:androiddevstudio.apps.games.the15puzzle

This was using chrometophone-extension-v0.5 and chrometophone-android-v1.2

This should be marked as an enhancement rather than a defect.
From my understanding of Chrome's API there is currently no ability to register 
an extension as a protocol handler, hence chrometophone can't register to send 
the market:// links to a phone.

This functionality has been discussed as part of issue 86 and hopefully will be 
soon implemented in the Firefox version of the extension, sendtophone.
