[FIXED] Programmatically check if android device has Google Play?

Issue

Currently there are some devices that doesn't have Google Play (Huawei Devices), is there a way for me to check programmatically if the device doesn't have one? I wanted to use the in-app-update feature: rel="noreferrer">https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore/in-app-updates and check if the device has a Google PlayStore first.

What I have tried so far: using Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName) but you need to start the activity first to confirm it exists? I'd like to know if there are better ways to do it.

Solution

You can check if the package com.android.vending exists or not

public static boolean isPackageInstalled(String packageName, PackageManager packageManager) {
    try {
        return packageManager.getApplicationInfo(packageName, 0).enabled;
    }
    catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
        return false;
    }
}

And you can do like this in your activity

if(isPackageInstalled("com.android.vending", getPackageManager())){ 

   // play store is installed

}else{ 

   // play store is not installed

}
