How to open the Google Play Store directly from my Android application

Question

I have opened the Google Play store using the following code:

Intent i = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=my packagename "));
startActivity(i);.

But it shows me a Complete Action View as to select the option

To open Google Play AND ONLY Google Play I use this method:

public static void openAppRating(Context context) {
    // you can also use BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID
    String appId = context.getPackageName();
    Intent rateIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
        Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appId));
    boolean marketFound = false;

    // find all applications able to handle our rateIntent
    final List<ResolveInfo> otherApps = context.getPackageManager()
        .queryIntentActivities(rateIntent, 0);
    for (ResolveInfo otherApp: otherApps) {
        // look for Google Play application
        if (otherApp.activityInfo.applicationInfo.packageName
                .equals("com.android.vending")) {

            ActivityInfo otherAppActivity = otherApp.activityInfo;
            ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(
                    otherAppActivity.applicationInfo.packageName,
                    otherAppActivity.name
                    );
            // make sure it does NOT open in the stack of your activity
            rateIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            // task reparenting if needed
            rateIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED);
            // if the Google Play was already open in a search result
            //  this make sure it still go to the app page you requested
            rateIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
            // this make sure only the Google Play app is allowed to
            // intercept the intent
            rateIntent.setComponent(componentName);
            context.startActivity(rateIntent);
            marketFound = true;
            break;
