Hyperlink in Android Market description

A URL of the following form will be converted to a clickable link and will redirect to the address specified in YOUR_URL.

https://www.google.com/url?q=YOUR_URL

eg: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=domain.company.appname


I have also not been able to insert an anchor-tag style descriptive hyperlink in the "Description" field.

That said, it looks like https://market.android.com/details?id=net.timessquareball.app achieves this by simply writing out the entire URL as text (which does work). We've used this method in our app description as well.

If you're interested, I've experimented with a bit of other markup in the "Description" field and blogged about it here.


I think you want to provide your android market app link:

  1. market://details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
  2. http://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

At the end of the day, writing just the address http://m.url.co.uk/somepage.aspx, without any tags, makes the link clickable on the Android Market Web Page.
