Linking to Android Market apps is somewhat problematic. Because Android Market links only work from Android devices, the most common way to link to an Android app is to offer a QR code of the app link that can be scanned with an app like Barcode Scanner.<\/p>\n\n

However, when browsing from an Android device, a direct link to the Android Market is preferred. What works well for Android devices does not suit the rest and viceversa.<\/p>\n\n

WP Android Shortcode solves this problem by using the [android] shortcode to convert Android Market links to the best option based on the platform. Android devices get a direct link to the Android Market, while the rest gets the corresponding QR code. In both cases a nifty Android Market badge is used to clearly indicate that this is a link to an Android app.<\/p>\n\n

Examples:<\/p>\n\n

[android]market:\/\/search?q=pname:com.example[\/android]<\/p>\n\n

[android href=\"market:\/\/search?q=pname:com.example\"]<\/p>\n\n

[android href=\"market:\/\/search?q=pname:com.example\" title=\"Your app name\"]<\/p>\n\n\n

  1. Upload the wp-android-shortcode folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/ directory, or download through the Plugins menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
  3. Place the [android] shortcode in your post content<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    What is a shortcode?<\/dt>\n

    A shortcode is a WordPress-specific code that lets you do more by writing less. They can be used in posts and pages (by default) and are marked by square brackets like [this].<\/p>\n\n

    This plugin adds the [android] shortcode to WordPress.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I use the [android] shortcode in widgets or my template?<\/dt>\n

    Shortcodes are only enabled in posts and pages by default. However, they can be enabled for widgets and templates with a little code. See this post for more info:<\/p>\n\n
