I want to create a downloadable bookmark in the Android market

Question

I currently have a web app already and I would like to create a bookmark that can be downloaded from the android marketplace (and app store if possible) and it would redirect the user to my web app. I want to know if this is possible and if so how can it be done?

Note that such apps are frequently ridiculed in Android Market comments and will tend to get lower ratings. — CommonsWare, Jul 01 '11 at 20:09

You can build your own webview app shell around your website:

Or you can have your app simply launch the default browser with your specific url:

Sending an Intent to browser to open specific URL
