Launching Google Finance and display graph on a particular Stock, is that possible?

I would like to do two things within my Android app :

  1. Check if the Google Finance app is installed on the device. Should be pretty straighforward, isn't it ?

  2. If yes, launch an intent to Open up Google Finance, displaying a graph on a particular Stock. So I also need to pass the stock ticker to Google Finance in some way... but is this even possible ?

Any other alternative I could use to display Stock Charts (let's say a 5 days intraday chart) on any stock ?

Thanks for your help.

Solution

  • I am not aware of there being any publicly-documented packages or Intents to achieve your aim, let alone an Intent that would meet your specific open-a-graph-on-a-stock request.

    Since I am assuming you are looking for something that is free, I would look into launching the Browser (or perhaps using the WebView widget) on some existing Web-based finance site.
