How to publish a hyperlink in the Android Market description? I've tried to insert something like this: in the description, but it shows the exact HTML code instead of a clickable link.
I've seen it done on another Market page so it is possible, but how?
Answer: For the web site it was enough to write the HTTP address. On the device Market it seems to be impossible.
I have also not been able to insert an anchor-tag style descriptive hyperlink in the "Description" field.
That said, it looks like https://market.android.com/details?id=net.timessquareball.app achieves this by simply writing out the entire URL as text (which does work). We've used this method in our app description as well.
If you're interested, I've experimented with a bit of other markup in the "Description" field and blogged about it here.
A URL of the following form will be converted to a clickable link and will redirect to the address specified in YOUR_URL.
https://www.google.com/url?q=YOUR_URL
eg: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=domain.company.appname
I think you want to provide your android market app link:
market://details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

At the end of the day, writing just the address http://m.url.co.uk/somepage.aspx, without any tags, makes the link clickable on the Android Market Web Page.
I also had problems linking from one app description to another app in Android Market.
Linking to a site outside Market works OK - just type the http:// link without any tags.
So my solution is to link to page on my own website, which redirects to the other app in Market - like I do here : keyboard for Maxikeys
Turns out you will have to post the link without any tags around for example - https://example.com
This should work!

I'm building an app that involves generating QR codes with a certain link (eg: mywebsite.app/cLKXz).
Everything works fine on stock android, Samsung, and Apple.
But MIUI's integrated scanner simply doesn't recognize a .app domain as a link, which causes the user to have to copy the text and paste it on their browser, instead of being able to simply tap "Open Link".
Is there any way I can "force" this QR Code to be detected as a link no matter what's inside? Of course I'd like to keep my domain and avoid using another URL shortener such as Bitly, if possible.
EDIT
I already tried adding http://, https://, and www., but nothing seems to work.
Thanks a lot!
mywebsite.app/cLKXz
Prefix your URL with protocol like http:// or https://
It's a little late for the answer but it's an issue of the native QR reader.
See: https://c.mi.com/oc/thread-3359510-1-0.html
Same problem occurs when using domains ending with:
.cloud
.link
I am writing new feature to my small app, the ability to share items.
For that I want to implement custom scheme like myApp://share/PARENT/CHILD
.
I searched for it here and on the web, finding small pieces of info, but not usable stuff.
Once I am adding the intent-filter to my Manifest, the app can be opened by browser links like:
CLICK .
But, once I am sharing the link with sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND); and sharing with WhatsApp or Gmail for example, the link is not clickable.
After searching here i read about Linkify but I did understand that it probably will not help me here (because the regex is already fine).
So my questions is:
Is it possible to use non-http schemes as links on Android apps?
If (1) is false, how can I achieve this with http scheme? Can I set my app as default for scheme + host specifications?
Can I tell the app store to open in case my App is missing? [I assume this is achievable only with http schemes, right?]
Thank you.
I want to add a button to my site so that when a user clicks it, it opens a new note on the Evernote app and saves a specific message.
I've looked everywhere for this but didn't find any info about it.
Is this possible?
Edit:
I'm sorry the question isn't very specific but I'm not really sure on where to start.
So, what I was asking was is there was a way to create a link with an href that would open in the Evernote app. So:
Is it possible to add an href that will open on the Whatsapp app? (I've seen that something like evernote:// should do it, but how's the syntax of this and does this work in both iOS and Android?)
Is there code in Javascript that would do the requested? (opening the Evernote app with a text that I would choose).
Once again, thanks for the help!
I am new to this Deep Linking stuff, so I would really appreciate your help.
I have a post on Facebook and i need it to point to a page.
BUT when I open the link on mobile, I need it to send me to the page i want people to like, but in the Facebook App on each phone (mainly iOS and Android).
I already tried fb://profile/[pageID] but it doesn't link to the specific page, just newsfeed, inside the app. Also tried fb://page/[pageID].
The good part is that it opens it in the Facebook app.
I feel that I am so close, but I don't really know what I'm doing wrong.
I would really appreciate your suggestions!
Thank you!
To deep link to a specific page, use fb://page/{page_id} for Android and fb://profile/{page_id} for iOS.
Tested on Facebook iOS v57.0 and Android v80.0.0.21.65.
Find your page ID using http://findmyfbid.com
if the page ID you used is a text format (fb://page/example) it will not work (i don't know why)
but if it is a long number it will work like for example fb://page/1111111111
Hallo Developers,
is it possible to start a activity with a link from a Email like in Iphone SDK and start this aktivity with params.
Iphone example:
Appname:///?param1=value1¶m2=value2
It appears to be possible - check these other answers on stackoverflow:

Android Respond To URL in Intent
Not to my knowledge in stock Android. However they've made a link scheme that will open up the Market application to a specific page, so this is possible. I would think however that in order to set something like that up the app you are wanting to start from link would have to be listening for clicks on that specific type of link and tell the system that it can handle them. I have no idea how you'd go about implementing that though, and it would only be able to start specific apps that were designed that way.
Try content://com.user.package.ActivityClass/. I haven't tried it so I am not sure if it will work though.
