N.p. trigger the launch of the application with an instruction to open a specific product or brand in the application being launched.
Interested in both iOS and Android.

Answer 1

in iOS, this is done using the Sheme URL.
You register the protocol that the application will support (well, for example, myApp://) and then ask the system to open the url
myApp://host/path
? that support the myApp:// protocol and are trying to run this application.
Here you can see the list of public url schemes for other applications
wiki.akosma.com/IPhone_URL_Schemes
or google other lists. can be opened from a browser

Answer 2

Of course you can. This is how the market and the browser work.
Launching my application from a browser by clicking on the link
