  1. POIntent Filter to Launch My Activity when custom URI is clicked
    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to allow a URI to be registered to open up with my app. Like the <code>PatternRepository</code> on the Blackberry and the <code>CFBundleURLName</code>/<code>CFBundleURLSchemes</code> on the iPhone. How do I achieve the same results on the Android?</p> <p>The system will be sending emails with the following link: <code>myapp://myapp.mycompany.com/index/customerId/12345</code>. The idea is that the user should be able to click on the link to open up the customer activity in the application. </p> <p>I've tried numerous suggestions from other SO posts but I cannot get the OS to recognize the pattern and open my app. </p> <p>On The Gmail app it looks like this: myapp://<a href="http://myapp.mycompany.com/index/customerId/12345" rel="nofollow noreferrer">myapp.mycompany.com/index/customerId/12345</a>. It recognizes and underlines the <code>myapp.mycompany.com/index/customerId/12345</code> portion of the link and it opens it in a browser. The <code>myapp://</code> part is not <em>linkified</em>. </p> <p>The standard mail application treats the entire link as plain text.</p> <p>What am I missing here?</p> <p>PS: I've already looked at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2448213/how-to-implement-my-very-own-uri-schema-on-android">How to implement my very own URI scheme on Android</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2430045/how-to-register-some-url-namespace-myapp-app-start-for-accessing-your-progra/2430468#2430468">How to register some URL namespace (myapp://app.start/) for accessing your program by calling a URL in browser in Android OS?</a></p> <p><strong>The Manifest:</strong> </p> <pre><code>&lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:versionCode="2" android:versionName="0.0.8" package="com.mycompany.myapp.client.android"&gt; &lt;uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="7"/&gt; &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/&gt; &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/&gt; &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/&gt; &lt;application android:label="@string/app_name" android:name="myappApplication" android:icon="@drawable/ic_icon_myapp" android:debuggable="true"&gt; &lt;activity android:label="My App" android:name=".gui.activity.LoginActivity" label="@string/app_name"&gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/activity&gt; &lt;activity android:name=".gui.activity.CustomerDetailActivity" &gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" /&gt; &lt;data android:scheme="myapp"/&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/activity&gt; &lt;activity android:name=".gui.activity.CustomerDetailActivity"/&gt; &lt;activity android:name=".gui.activity.CustomerImageViewerActivity" /&gt; &lt;activity android:name=".gui.activity.CustomerListActivity" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"/&gt; &lt;activity android:name=".gui.activity.HomeActivity" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"/&gt; &lt;activity android:name=".gui.activity.AboutActivity" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"/&gt; &lt;activity android:name=".gui.activity.AccountActivity" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" /&gt; &lt;/application&gt; &lt;/manifest&gt; </code></pre>
