I'm pulling my hair out over this; the instructions seemed so simple, yet they just don't work.
Here's the manifest activity intent code:
<activity
android:theme="#style/Theme.Buhzyellowtoplighttabs"
android:name="com.blah.package"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateHidden"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
<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.buhz.com" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
So you would think that when I run the app on my phone, go to my browser and go to www.buhz.com it should give me a option to launch the app, right?
As far as I'm aware, this will only work when you click a link to the site, not when you type the URL in.
On the off-chance you're reading this on the Android device your testing on, here is a link for you
Here is the approach that worked for me
The androidmanifest file content is as follows:
<activity
android:name=".SecondActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_second">
<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="/roses"
android:scheme="http" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
The command entered in terminal is as follows :
./adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "http://www.example.com/roses" com.example.irfan.helloworld
Note:
If your operating system is Windows you can remove the first "./" in the above command.
Result:
It opened the "Second Activity" of my app automatically.
Hope it helps :)
For me:
adb shell am start -W -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "example://gizmos" com.example
didn't work.
Adding category solved it:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -c android.intent.category.BROWSABLE -d "http://www.example.com/gizmos"

I need to open a deep link in my Android app, like uniqueName://post/detail/1 in the router but it always removes the first part of the link: (post) and delegates only the rest: /detail/1 instead of /post/detail/1
AndroidManifest.xml:
<intent-filter android:priority="1">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:scheme="uniqueName"/>
</intent-filter>
onGenerateRoute:
Route? onGenerateRoute(RouteSettings settings) {
print('Change main route to: ${settings.name}');// prints /detail/1
}
Test:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW
-c android.intent.category.BROWSABLE
-d "uniqueName://post/detail/1"
In my application i am using deep links to navigate to Particular activity. I want to navigate to different activities with same basePrefix with different context path at end.
<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="www.mycompany.com"
android:pathPrefix="/profile/friendslist"/>
</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="www.mycompany.com"
android:pathPrefix="/profile/friendslist/details"/>
</intent-filter>
./adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -c android.intent.category.BROWSABLE -d "https://www.mycompany.com//profile/friendslist" com.mycompany.sample : It launches FriendsListFragment
./adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -c android.intent.category.BROWSABLE -d "https://www.mycompany.com//profile/friendslist/details" com.mycompany.sample : It also launches FriendsListFragment instead of FriendsListDetailsFragment
What i want to do is
/profile/friendslist/: should open FriendsList
/profile/friendslist/details?id=1234 should navigate to FriendDetails
Anyone suggest how we make use of android:pathPrefix to navigate to different screens based on context path?
You may opt for a pathPattern in the first 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="www.mycompany.com"
android:pathPattern="/profile/friendslist$"/>
</intent-filter>
The $ indicates end of string, which would drop the "/profile/friendslist/details" case
OR Rather, go for android:path="/profile/friendslist" which looks for an exact match.
I'm trying to enable deep linking so that certain links launch my app.
I read this turotial https://developer.android.com/training/app-indexing/deep-linking.html and following it pretty close but when I try to test it by using adb to send the VIEW intent to the app I just get the error
Error: Activity not started, unable to resolve Intent { act=android.intent.actio
n.VIEW dat=example://gizmos flg=0x10000000 pkg=com.myapp.DeepLinkActivity }
DeepLinkActivity.java
public class DeepLinkActivity extends Activity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if (getIntent().getAction() == Intent.ACTION_VIEW) {
Uri uri = getIntent().getData();
}
}
}
Android Manifest declaring deeplink activity
<activity android:name="com.myapp.DeepLinkActivity" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data
android:host="gizmos"
android:scheme="example" />
<!-- Accepts URIs that begin with "http://www.example.com/gizmos” -->
<data
android:host="www.example.com"
android:pathPrefix="gizmos"
android:scheme="http" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
ADB command to send the view intent
adb shell am start -W -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "example://gizmos" com.myapp.DeepLinkActivity
But I don't think I even need the full path to the activity
adb shell am start -W -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "example://gizmos" com.myapp
Try skipping package param entirely. I had exactly same problem and it works.
adb shell am start -W -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "example://gizmos"
Comment out the second data part from your Android Manifest. As per google documentation of deep link :
"Intent filters may only contain a single data element for a URI pattern. Create separate intent filters to capture additional URI patterns."
In your manifest you defined your scheme as "http" but in your intent constructor you are using "example."
The problem is you have one intent filter for 2 types of deep links:
<activity
android:name="app.myActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<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:host="gizmos"
android:scheme="example" />
</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="/gizmos"
android:scheme="http" />
<!-- note that the leading "/" is required for pathPrefix-->
</intent-filter>
</activity>
And you will be able to use both on the ADB shell. Please see my full answer here
Simply try as follows
Command:
adb shell am start -d your-deep-link
Example:
adb shell am start -d rmagazine://opensetting/v1
I'm trying to make my android app react to a specific deep link format. I want the app to be able to handle links in the following format:
href="android-app://website.org/http/a_path"
I have the following in my manifest file:
<intent-filter android:label="App" >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<data
android:host="website.org"
android:scheme="http" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
</intent-filter>
When I test it from the console, the app reacts to the following deeplink:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "http://website.org/http/a_path" website.org
But it does not react to the format that I need, which is:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "android-app://website.org/http/a_path" website.org
In this second case, I get the following error:
Activity not started, unable to resolve Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=http://org.website/http/a_path flg=0x10000000 pkg=website.org }
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
You need to correctly set your scheme.
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"></action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>
<data android:scheme="android-app"></data>
</intent-filter>
I do not see you having filter for android-app scheme:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"></action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>
<data
android:host="website.org"
android:scheme="android-app" />
</intent-filter>
But anyway, do not use custom schemes. See this discussion involving android framework developer: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-developers/-hkq8-S5-Gs
I am new to android app development. I created an app using Eclipse
and successfully installed on my device. Even it got installed on
the emulator.But, I can't see it!
I have tried everything like adding :
In manifest.xml
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
Re-installing
Tried directly sending and installing .apk to the device
(not only by running on eclipse)
Restarting my eclipse
and so on.
Let me know if any other information is required.
Its not going to be on the main page. Go to downloaded applications on your device and check if its there. Also make sure USB debugging in turned on in the developers options on your phone. Also read this.
What about checking the list of installed packages?
$ adb shell pm list packages | grep your.package.name
Or just look up the directory.
$ adb shell ls /data/app
If it's really installed but not be shown in the launcher, then it would be a manifest code issue, I think.
I got this problem few month ago, then i got that i am using more category and action tag in activity.
like this:
<activity
android:name="com.test.login.UserLogin"
android:label="#string/app_name"
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.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data
android:host="t4jsample"
android:scheme="oauth" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
but my problem solved using this:
<activity
android:name="com.test.login.UserLogin"
android:label="#string/app_name"
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.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data
android:host="t4jsample"
android:scheme="oauth" />
</intent-filter>
So i want to say that please check your code and let me know that you are getting some this case in your code.
