Deep linking not working in chrome mobile browser

I am facing issue of deeplink. We have created a deep link for mobile application post but at google chrome mobile browser, its not opening the app screen. I saw same issues with amazon app deep links also.
At very first load it did not open app but second time it open app
Also make sure that you are tapping on the link. The chrome developers consider everything entered into the browser as user intention to open it in the browser.
So if you enter your link that you wish to deep link into your app in the chrome browser - it will open in the browser. But if you copy/paste it e.g. in notes app (social media etc.) and then tap on it - it will open your application if you have properly configured deep / app links.
I also got the same issue and I found a really good article regarding chrome browser with a deep link. (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/multidevice/android/intents/)
I first try out it with a fallback URL and the google chrome mobile browser doesn't work
Take a QR code
But when I removed that fallback URL, it was redirected to the google play store as intended

How to make external web link open in app?

I am recently trying to develop an app for my website. Suppose if I share the url of any article of my web site through Whatsapp or Facebook and if I click on it I want it to open in my app and not in the external browser.
For example: If you have the Facebook app, any link with 'www.facebook.com/.....' opens in the app only.
Thanks for your help.

How to make a link that opens a specific app in the android app market app

I am trying to promote my app on Facebook, but when I link to the application page like this, when the link is opened on an android device the page comes up in the browser, instead of opening in the Play Store app. How can I create a link that when opened in a web browser on a PC will link to the previously linked page, but when opened on a phone will open in the Play Store app?
From an Android app you can use:
market://details?id=<package_name>
From a website:
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=<package_name>

Adobe AIR for Android - Open native facebook app

So I've been trying to figure out a way to open the native android facebook app from my Adobe AIR game but couldn't find a solution yet.
Basically I am interesting in letting my users open my game's facebook page and be able to click the like button.
My current solution is to open a webview but that is not good enough because users will have to enter their facebook login details.
So I just need them to open my game's page directly in their facebook app without needing to enter login details in a webview.
Is there a solution for this?
I think you can use navigateToURL(new URLRequest("fb://profile/your_page_id"));
You can get your page id by going to your Facebook page and pressing the Edit Page button. It will be in the browser url bar. E.g. https://www.facebook.com/pages/edit/?id=261615207268847&tab=public
The id is 261615207268847 so navigateToURL(new URLRequest("fb://profile/261615207268847"));

I want to create a downloadable bookmark in the Android market

I currently have a web app already and I would like to create a bookmark that can be downloaded from the android marketplace (and app store if possible) and it would redirect the user to my web app. I want to know if this is possible and if so how can it be done?
You can build your own webview app shell around your website:
http://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/webview.html
Or you can have your app simply launch the default browser with your specific url:
Sending an Intent to browser to open specific URL
If you use PhoneGap, you can do an iphone app at the same time..
