How to open Mobile Application from Web Browser using Javascript

JavaScript

Hi!

I would like to open an Android or IOS application from the web browser using Javascript.

The condition is this: If the application does not exists, AppStore or PlayStore would open instead.

I have tried:

var loadedAt = +new Date;
	        setTimeout(
	                   function(){
	                       if (+new Date - loadedAt < 2000){
	                   window.location = 'market://details?id=someApp;
	                       }
	                   }
	                   ,25);

	        window.open('android-app://com.mycompany.myapp,"_self");

But In Android, both the app and the PlayStore always opens.

Can I have the PlayStore open only if the App is not installed?

Please help. Thanks.
