Two app instances are created when click on deeplink from mail - android

I'm navigating to the email app from X activity, I am getting an email from the backend.
On that email we have the link, once click on that link it is navigated to app Y activity.
In that process, two app instances are created.
navigating to email app activity and navigating from email app activity both are not the same.
<activity
android:name=".framework.deeplink.DeepLinkActivity"

<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">

<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<!-- Accepts URIs that begin with "example://gizmos” -->
<data android:scheme="allaboutcity"
android:host="allaboutcity" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

You should add intent filter in your manifest file to activity that you want to open
<activity
android:name="Your Activity"
android:label="Your Activity Title"
android:theme="Your Style">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data
android:host="your url"
android:path="/your path"
android:scheme="http" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

use this code In Your WebView Activity
Intent intent = getIntent();
String action = intent.getAction();
Uri data = intent.getData();
Webview webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview_id);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl(""+ data);
next, use this code in AndroidManifest.xml, its for all link (Https / Http):
<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="https"/>
<data android:scheme="http"
android:host="http://allaboutcity.in"
android:pathPrefix="/allaboutcity" />
<data android:host="www.host.com" android:pathPattern="/movie/0.*/" android:scheme="http"/>
</intent-filter>

Applinks intents not working on android

I have an Android app that should open links on the app which clicks from the web browser.
I have the following intent filters:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<data android:scheme="http" android:host="www.mysite.com" />
<data android:scheme="https" android:host="www.mysite.com" />
</intent-filter>
And also i checked the my signed sha256 key, package name etc from the assetjson file which is in the mysite/.well-known/assetlinks.json. Everythings looks correct. But the app still not opening when i click the links from the website.

<activity android:name=".YourActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="https" />
<data android:scheme="http" />
<data android:host="mysite.com" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

Path pattern for intent-filter

I want to launch Android application on clicking URL (may be in e-mail or SMS).
How to write different path patterns for these two URL?
http://www.hostname.com/folder1/file.ext
http://www.hostname.com/folder1/folder2/file.ext
I want to launch my activity only from the first URL, not the second one. Currently I am using this intent-filter but it's launching my app with both URL.
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data
android:host="www.hostname.com"
android:pathPattern=".*\\/folder1/*"
android:scheme="http" />
</intent-filter>

Try below code
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data
android:host="www.hostname.com"
android:pathPrefix="/folder1"
android:scheme="http" />
</intent-filter>

How to make my app show up in the list of browsers when I click on any link in Android?

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="appname"/>
</intent-filter>
I tried that but still my app won't show up in the list of browsers when I click on any link. What might be going wrong?

use this filter:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="http"/>
</intent-filter>
