Question 316604 in Html Question posted in
Some basic documentation can be found here.

Html – Can i open an android app using just the package name in a website?

I want to know if its possible to make a button that can launch any app (assuming the user has it installed) with the package name, i dont think its possible but someone out there might know how.

document.location.href = 'intent:#Intent;scheme=app_scheme;package=app_package;end;';

just goes to the google play app showing the app_package app

ive tried one or two other things but there hasnt been anything else that works

    yes by using this code

    Button launchButton = findViewById(R.id.launchButton);

    launchButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View view) {
    String packageName = "exampleapp"; // replace with the package name of the target app

        Intent launchIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName);
    if (launchIntent != null) {
        startActivity(launchIntent);
    } else {
        // Handle the case where the target app is not installed
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "App not installed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

    });

    It is done via a link, not a package but if you want this should be search inside google play i thing so you can use api for search via package.
    like this
