Is there a way to link to all of a developer's Google Play Store apps?
Solution 1
Search for a product, including the pub:
tag, as can be found at the API page entitled Linking to your products. Note that searching via a URL requires a different method. Both are included here. Start an intent like this:
try {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://search?q=pub:Developer+Name+Here")));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Developer+Name+Here")));
}
Note that the market doesn't work on the emulator, so this code will instead pull it up in a URL. This method courtesy of this answer.
Solution 2
Just use the developer parameter. This is the shortcut for googles
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Google+Inc.
Just put a + between works if there are spaces
Solution 3
Android actually has an even better way to handle this.
You can also group all your applications by the package names, provided you had the discipline to actually think over it. For instance, if all my apps start with com.mycompanyname.androidappname, I can simply search https://play.google.com/store/search?q=com.mycompanyname.*

In my app, I want to allow users to open the Google Play store to see all of my other apps. In iOS, I just use the following (example) iTunes link to pull them all up:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/electronic-arts/id284800461?mt=8
Is there a way to get ALL of my apps to show (besides a search for my company name, which is rather generic)?

Jose_GD over 9 yearsThis works like a charm. I'm using this to link to a subset of my apps, for them I have a "subdomain", i.e. com.mycompanyname.someofmyapps

Jose Gómez over 9 yearsAre developer ids unique? How can I ensure the search results will not include apps from any other developer with the same name as myself?
