Deeplinks with dynamic feature modules - android

As I'm splitting up the app I'm working on into multiple dynamic feature modules I would like each module to be able to handle its own deeplinks.
To test this I have added intent filters to two activities in a dynamic module and one intent-filter for an activity in the "main" module.
I would like to support three deeplinks:
testing://open/a
testing://open/a/b
testing://open/c/d
When trying to open one of the links android gives me 3 different options to open the links. I would however prefer that no options are given and the correct activity is opened. How can I achieve that?
Bonus question, are manifests from the dynamic feature modules merged with the one in the main module if it's included at install or downloaded later?
Dynamic feature module manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:dist="http://schemas.android.com/apk/distribution"
package="com.testing">
<dist:module
dist:instant="false"
dist:title="#string/title">
<dist:delivery>
<dist:install-time />
</dist:delivery>
<dist:fusing dist:include="true" />
</dist:module>
<application
android:allowBackup="false"
android:largeHeap="true"
android:supportsRtl="true">
<activity
android:name=".activities.BActivity"
android:exported="true"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter
android:autoVerify="true"
android:label="B">
<data
android:scheme="testing"
android:path="/open/a/b" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".activities.DActivity"
android:exported="true"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter
android:autoVerify="true"
android:label="D">
<data
android:scheme="testing"
android:path="/open/c/d" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
And the main manifest like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:dist="http://schemas.android.com/apk/distribution"

<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

You should not pass android:scheme inside the launcher activity intent-filter. You need to either remove this or pass it in a different intent-filter. Have a look at this answer too.

How to edit manifest file to connect android application to google drive

I have been trying to connect my app to drive using this tutorial:. This tutorial redirects to this website: . I got stuck at point 4 where it asks to edit manifest and redirects here. It seems to me that instructions' aren't clear for the same. Could you please help me out on editing manifest.xml. Thanks.
My manifest.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.bignerdranch.android.drive_app" >
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity android:name=".MainActivity" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Based on the tutorial that you are following, these are the changes you should make to your Manifest file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.bignerdranch.android.drive_app" >
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity android:name=".MainActivity" >
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.apps.drive.APP_ID" android:value="id=put-yourID-here" />
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.apps.drive.DRIVE_OPEN" />
<data android:mimeType="application/vnd.google-apps.drive-sdk.1234567890" />
<data android:mimeType="image/png" />
<data android:mimeType="image/jpeg" />
<data android:mimeType="image/jpg" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
By the way, the data android:mimeType elements are optional - but perhaps you will need these for the rest of the tutorial.

Android manifest merging: removing LAUNCHER intent-filter doesn't take effect

In my android app I use a library project and I use one of it's activities. However in the library project that activity has MAIN action and LAUNCHER category intent-filter. So I added that activity to my manifest and removed the intent-filter. The manifests seem to be correctly merged into build/intermediates/manifests/full/debug/AndroidManifest.xml, and the activity looks as expected (without the intent-filter):
<activity
android:name="com.michaelrnovak.util.logger.Logger"
android:configChanges="orientation"
android:label="#string/show_log" >
</activity>
However when I start the app from AndroidStudio in the emulator, then instead of my AlertsActivity, the library's Logger activity is launched. What am I doing wrong?
This is the manifest of the library:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.michaelrnovak.util.logger"
android:versionCode="8"
android:versionName="1.5">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_LOGS" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".Logger"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:configChanges="orientation">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
</manifest>
and my app's manifest has the following relevant activity definitions:
<activity
android:name=".AlertsActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:launchMode="singleTop" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="com.michaelrnovak.util.logger.Logger"
android:label="#string/show_log"
android:configChanges="orientation"
tools:replace="android:label"
>
<intent-filter tools:node="removeAll" />
</activity>
Have you tried tools:node="remove" on the category node only? From my experience, it seems to work.
Something like this:
<activity android:name="com.michaelrnovak.util.logger.Logger"
android:label="#string/show_log"
android:configChanges="orientation"
tools:replace="android:label"
>
<intent-filter>
<category tools:node="remove" android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
I tried many ways on similar situation like you. I figured out that I must add tools:node="replace" in the Activity node to remove intent-filter's specific action and category. Try this :)
<activity
android:name="com.michaelrnovak.util.logger.Logger"
android:label="#string/show_log"
android:configChanges="orientation"
tools:replace="android:label"
tools:node="replace">
<!-- Rewrite the intent-filter you want -->
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

Merging android manifest files, conflicting filter

I'm trying to combine android manifest files from 2 plugins in Unity, but there are two activities with the same intent-filter and I can only get 1 or the other to work at the same time....
Of the 2 conflicting activities, whichever is on top in the manifest file is the one that will work. So if activity from manifest #1 is on top, plugin #1 will work but not #2, and vice versa.
The two conflicting activities are:
<activity
android:name="com.devfo.andutils.DevfoUnityPlayerActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:configChanges="fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|locale|mnc|mcc|navigation|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|uiMode|touchscreen"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
And:
<activity android:name="com.qualcomm.QCARUnityPlayer.QCARPlayerProxyActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:configChanges="fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|locale|mnc|mcc|navigation|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|uiMode|touchscreen">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
is there any way I can merge the two and get them to work from the same app? I'm using Unity 3d.
For example in the manifest where you want to use only the first activity as launcher you have to add this 2 modifications:
At the beginning of the manifest:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
And for the activity for which you want to remove the intent filter add this code:
<activity android:name="com.qualcomm.QCARUnityPlayer.QCARPlayerProxyActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:configChanges="fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|locale|mnc|mcc|navigation|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|uiMode|touchscreen">
<intent-filter tools:node="removeAll">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
The important part is to add the tools:node="removeAll" attribute in the intent-filter tag
Declare your manifest header like this:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
And then add one of the following appropriate attributes to the relevant Activity(s):
tools:merge="override"
tools:merge="remove"
Slightly different to #amarkovits answer, I've found success with:
<activity android:name="com.qualcomm.QCARUnityPlayer.QCARPlayerProxyActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:configChanges="fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|locale|mnc|mcc|navigation|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|uiMode|touchscreen"
tools:node="merge">
<intent-filter tools:node="remove"> ...
which I believe will try to merge it first, then replaces just the intent filter causing both Icons on the launcher screen
The Activity that has this intent-filter:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
is the main Activity that will start on application start up, you can't make both activities work at the same time.
what you should do is let only one Activity ( your main one have this filter) and leave the other one without it.
the second Activity will also be part of the application, but it will not be the first Activity you will see. You can start it by using the startActivity() method.
I have done this, the solution is that when you have multiple flavors, like
1. flavorA,
2. flavorB
and main application id is - com.android.vivek
and main flavorA is using com.android.vivek
and second flavorB is using com.android.vivek.flavorb
flavorA's manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="com.android.vivek">
<application xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/flavorA_ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
tools:replace="android:icon" />
<activity
android:name=".ActivitySplash"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:launchMode="singleTop"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
tools:node="replace">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
then simply flavorB's manifest mention like below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="com.android.vivek">
<application xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/flavorB_ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
tools:replace="android:icon" />
<activity
android:name=".flavorB.SecondActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:launchMode="singleTop"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
tools:node="replace">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".ActivitySplash"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:launchMode="singleTop"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter tools:node="remove">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
when you run flavorA or flavorB then it will work fine
