How to launch the market intent in 'Give Feedback' mode on android.

Question

Hi There,

I have just written a game for the Android market and would like to remind my customers to leave feeback on the market for the application (especially the demo version.) Is there any way to launch the market intent in a mode that will take the user to the feedback / comments section of the page?

I already use this approach for linking my demo to the paid app...

Intent goToMarket = null;
goToMarket = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.paulmaidment.games.flagsoftheworld"));
startActivity(goToMarket);

Is there a best practice that any Android devs out there might know of?

Additionally, is there any way to track referalls from my demo app so that I can try to calculate some kind of a conversion rate? (i.e. how effective the demo app is at generating sales.)

Thanks, Paul

I'm not sure if its possible for an intent to take a user directly into the feedback/comments section. The developer guide does not mention that possibility.

As for tracking referrals you might want to check out this: http://code.google.com/mobile/analytics/docs/android/#android-market-tracking
