If a user clicks a hyperlink it should take the user to the app if installed or corresponding app in the Google play. After installation the auto fill in the login page with credentials in the hyperlink.
To do this which feature should I enable - Dynamic link or App Indexing or App Invite ?
Firebase Dynamic Links will work for your purpose.
App Invite generally serves similar purpose, but a bit less configurable. App Invite has built-in people picker.
App Indexing is different kind of library.
As a bonus the Firebase Dynamic Links will work with iOS App, if you have one.

I have a bunch of different marketing campaigns with links that change all the time. This campaigns are sent via push notifications to the users. When the link is clicked, the sistem asks the user in which app he/she would like to open the link. If the user choose the app instead of a browser, the app opens and the link is missed.
I did some search and found that, in order to open a link inside the application, I need to store this link in the app. The problem with this approach is that the campaigns and links change all the time, so I would have to launch a new app version in production every time a campaign changes its link and it is insane.
Would anybody have a suggestion for this situation?
Why don't you use a better service for it like firebase dynamic links or Branch.io.
Using these services you can always open the app and get the data from the link(the user clicked) using the SDK provided by these services. Doesn't matter if the app is opened or web on clicking the link.
yes, you could.
in our team we are using braze sdk for attaching deep link for pushes.
Here you should point out the deep link with your custom scheme (you already should have it implemented in your app)
if you don't want to use custom sdk for deep links (like firebase, appsflyer etc) - you could implement 'native' option by this article
another option to attach deep link to push (anyway you need to trigger it from some Back office or server) I don't know
I have just completed development of an Android Application that uses Instagram Api to show followers, following and who unfolllowed. The Api is in Sandbox Mode at till now and I want to submit the application to Instagram for permissions (follower_list, basic) approval. But submission page shows options just for website.
How can I submit Android Application for approval?
"website" is highlighted in the image.
According to the documentation, you must make a screencast(record your mobile app working).
I think you need put the company website url or if your app is on production environment on Google Play Store, so put the download link.

I want to use LinkedIn in my Android application. I am not sure whether it is right/doable or not but I want to integrate it without LinkedIn SDK. I meant to say, whenever user clicks on login button it should go to the web using webview and user will login there and it should come back. Then I should be able to access the minimal user information.
Just wanted to know whether it is possible or not!
Thank you
It's possible but you end up with a few issues.
If your app becomes successful you increase the chance of having expensive conversations with LinkedIn lawyers.
Essentially you'd be using a very unofficial and undocumented api which would be subject to change at any time.
If you're doing the project for yourself as research project or for your own internal business use then what you're looking for is to communicate between your native app and the webpage.

I am interested in using FB App Invites and app links functionality so users can invite their friends. I want to be able to pass referral code as well.
I don't have a web server nor do I know if I should for this purpose. I am just too confused about the process
I followed the docs and I was able to generate an app link using FB hosting tool in the form of https://fb.me/123456789
I can use that in the App invite dialog that I will integrate in my android app.
Now my question is, how can I add referral code to that so when the new user download the app, the newly installed android app will receive that referral code?
Facebook's policy does not allow awarding for (all)invites/sharing/commenting/liking any more.
You could anyway implement it like airbnb that you award the user who is downloading the app with something, when being referred. If you only want to track conversions you should utilize Facebook's insights dashboar

I'd like to create an ad on Facebook that targets mobile users in order to engage them with my app. The ad must open my app when the user clicks on it in case the app is already installed. Otherwise, it must take him to the Play Store.
I read the following tutorial that shows how to achieve what I want using a news feed story.
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/androidsdk/3.0/link-to-your-native-app
Unfortunately, it doesn't say anything about ads. I also read about app install campaigns, but they are only shown to people who don't have my app installed.
I want to offer discounts through my app to a segmented group of people on Facebook. That's why I need a campaign that handles deep linking and app installs.
Now it seems to be supported:
