I would like to open my app from the browser.
example: I open a browser, type in: https://open.my.app, or app://www.example.com and have my app as an option come up.
I read about Deep Links and I am quite sure I set up my project properly, YET nothing happens when I either try to type and run: https://open.my.app, app://www.example.com
My AndroidManifest:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.somemobileapp">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>
<application
android:name=".MainApplication"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:allowBackup="false"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<!-- Change these two in the future to a proper one -->
<data android:scheme="https" android:host="www.example.com" />
<data android:scheme="app" android:host="open.my.app" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="com.facebook.react.devsupport.DevSettingsActivity" />
</application>
</manifest>
So even after this, it's not working.
I know it will sound strange but keeping the data tag on first worked for me
<intent-filter>
<!-- data on first -->
<data android:scheme="http" android:host="abc.in"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>

I'm developing an app in Android Studio it works pretty well, but after implementing deep links to my launching activity my app doesn't you the app icon in the menu, I know the app is installed cause in Setting>Applications it appears. I know the problem is in the manifest.xml, so I'll leave a copy down bellow.
I'll love to hear about your solutions, by the way if you are reading this thanks.

You should separate the intent filters, also your manifest file is not well-formatted. you should close the application tag. you can open it with an external application like google chrome, it will tell you if the XML is not in correct format.
<activity android:name=".StartActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-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="myapp" android:host="place"/>
</intent-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="https" android:host="myapp.com" android:pathPrefix="/place" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
it's important that you create separate filters when your intention is to declare unique URLs (such as a specific combination of scheme and host) because multiple <data> elements in the same intent filter are actually merged together to account for all variations of their combined attributes. if you combine them it actually supports https://place and also supports myapp://myapp.com/place.
So you should separate them.
When I add an intent filter (to enable Google to crawl my app content and allow users to enter my app from search results) then my app still runs from Android Studio on my phone but it no longer installs.
My manifest is below, I have commented out the added intent filter to make it install again, so now I get a warning that it is not indexable by Google search.
What can I do so it installs and is indexable?
This is my first app so apologies if this is obvious but I appreciate any help. Thanks.

I seem to have found the solution. There should be 2 separate intent filters ...
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-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"
android:host="www.mywebsite.com"
android:pathPrefix="/myappname" />
</intent-filter>
When I add the following code in the AndroidManifest the app is missing (disappears) from my device.
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="https"
android:host="www.example.com"
android:pathPrefix="/gizmos"/>
</intent-filter>
If I don't add this code the app is installed and appears as it should be BUT I get warning:
App is not indexable by Google Search; consider adding at least one Activity with an ACTION-VIEW intent filter.
I already did research from official documentation and also this question but still my problem is different.
EDIT:
Here is all my manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:fullBackupContent="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:theme="#style/FullScreenTheme"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="https"
android:host="www.example.com"
android:pathPrefix="/gizmos"/>
</intent-filter>
<activity android:name=".AnimationScreenActivity"
android:theme="#style/FullScreenTheme"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"/>
</activity>
</application>
You are not closing your intent filter right
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:theme="#style/FullScreenTheme"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
After #Harisali help, the solution is to separate it in two <intent-filter> like this:
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:theme="#style/FullScreenTheme"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="https"
android:host="www.example.com"
android:pathPrefix="/gizmos"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Uninstall the app and run the code, sometimes the old package might be overwritten.
I am trying to enable deep linking in my android app using this official guide.I am not able to understand where and how to add URI under data element. What would be the value of URI for my app. Is it referring to package name?Do I have to add intent filter tag for each android name activity? Any one example would be enough to make things clear. Please suggest.
My Manifest file :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.myapp.praveen.healthcareit">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

<activity android:name="com.myapp.praveen.healthcareit.GovernmentPrograms"></activity>
</application>
</manifest>
No need filter to all activity need only for the activity which you want to invoke from deep link url. in manifest
<activity
android:name="yourpackagename"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/actioncolor">
<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="schemename"
android:host="hostname" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
your URI will be schemename://hostname?hereextraparametersifyouwant
here you get the full example with steps
https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/android-deep-linking/index.html?index=..%2F..%2Findex
Add following intent filter in the activity tag which you want to launch while deep linking.
<activity android:name="com.myapp.praveen.healthcareit.MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-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:host="www.example.com"
android:pathPrefix="/appx"
android:scheme="http" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
where your url is like http://www.example.com?appx=45. So here scheme is http or https. If you want both then add two intent filters, one with http and another with https. Then pathPrefix is the url parameters you want to identify. Not pathprefix can be empty or *. And finally host is your website address to be deep linked.
I'm trying to create an Android app that needs to use OAuth to authenticate (with the Google Wave data API)
I've specified a custom scheme in my AndroidManifest.xml so that any views to a url beginning "braindump://" should go to my app:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="org.enigmagen.braindump"
android:versionName="0.1"
android:versionCode="1">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7"></uses-sdk>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
<application
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:debuggable="true">
<activity
android:name=".BrainDump"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:launchMode="singleInstance">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="braindump" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
All that happens though is that after the redirect, the browser address shows the correct URL, but the page content is
You do not have permission to open this page.
braindump://rest_of_address_here
Is there a specific permission that needs to be set to allow this sort of behaviour?
I had the exact same problem (OAuth) and this is how I fixed it.
I've separated my Main from the class that will act on the URI.
Here's how the AndroidManifest.xml should look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
[snip]
<activity android:label="#string/app_name" android:name="MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:label="#string/app_name" android:name="OAUTHActivity">
<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="myscheme" android:host="oauth" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
[/snip]
And I was able to open URIs like myscheme//oauth?oauth_verifier=xxx&oauth_token=yyy
Actually, it's possible to do it with only one activity, just creating one more intent filter. Like this:
<activity android:name=".MyActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-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="my_scheme" android:host="my_app_host.com" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
I don't think this is exactly the cause of your problem, but I got this same error "You do not have permission to open this page" and it was because I was using a scheme with a capital letter. eg "Celly" instead of "celly". This worked fine in the emulator but failed on real devices. Changing it all to lowercase fixed it.
According to the common tasks that should be:
<scheme android:name="braindump" />
