I've built a app that directs users to other apps on the play store. Im looking to be able to see which users I directed to this other app. Im using android studio
If you just want to know which or how many users went from your app to the play store, you can achieve this by event tracking for example via (Firebase Analytics). But as soon as your users have left your app, there is no way of tracking what they once left. For example, if there is a list of apps in your app, each linking to their corresponding play store entry, you can track clicks on the different links inside of your app. But as soon as the user clicked on that link and went to the play store, you can't track what he is doing there or if he is downloading the app (as long as you are not the developer of the app the user then downloads)

Is it possible to track registered users of my android app and get information about what music is playing in their music player? If it can be tracked then is it legal to display the music listening information (just track ID, artist name, listening time) in their profile? The user's permission will be given ofcourse.
Basically, I am trying to build an app where registered users can see what other users are playing on their device music player.
If your app can play music, then you can definitely get the details you want, and so long as you have asked for permission from the user i.e in the 'Terms Of Use', you can legally publish that data. If your app is not playing the music, android security policy does not allow one app to view the data of another. In this case your app has no way of knowing which app is currently playing the music, and thus no way of getting the data you require. If on the other hand, you intend for the app to be run on rooted devices, then you can pretty much do anything you want...
I have an idea for an app and after doing some research I couldn't find anything that would answer my question, what I want is for when a user touches their android phone off a tag, it auto downloads an app for them, kind of like a QR Code, but specifically nfc.
All help appreciated.
No app can be installed without user interaction. This is required because the user is in charge of the device and he has to manually allow an app to be installed, otherwise you have a great recipe for allowing malicious apps to find their way to your device undetected.
Best you can do is direct them to the play store page with your app, but it is up to the user to decide whether to install it or not.
I've come across many apps that provide a "More Apps" option that shows a list of apps made by the same developer and if you clicked one of them it takes you to the app on PlayStore, what is the best way to do this ?
PS:I don't have a Website
Link to a Product List in a web view within your app
You can trigger an intent in your app with
http://play.google.com/store/search?q=pub:publisher_name
to open up in the browser and replace publisher_name with yours.
Or
market://search?q=pub:<publisher_name>
to open play store app
The product list lets users see all of the apps from a specific publisher, with ratings, editorial badges, and an Install button for each.

I want to have an InApp store implemented in my app, but after a lot of research I haven't found how I can code it or how it will work overall. My guess is, that I hide some areas of my App and only will reveal them after someone paid in my store? I am glad for every piece of information abut how to code an InApp store.
You are in the right way. You can create a login screen and if user login and pay you can show him the download button (to download some app). You can upload every app (*.apk) in your server and the user will be able to download it.
I have an app for a customer (refer to it as "their" app). When "their" app is open they do not want users of the device to use any other apps.
The only way they want to get round this, is if i create a login page within the app, and from there you can go to the android settings page. If the android settings are accessed, then the user should be able to go anywhere they want, until "their" app is in the foreground again, then the device should be locked into using just that app.
If this makes any difference, "their" app is a cordova app. I dont think it will, but thought i would mention it anyway. Needs to work in android 5.0
Is this possible at all? What would i need to implement for this? A service and timer?
UPDATE
It is a tablet, so it will never ring.
If the user presses the Home button, nothing should happen as the app should stay in the foreground
