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" />

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>

Your URL has a scheme of http. Your <intent-filter> has a scheme of .app.MyApplication. These are not the same. Change your <intent-filter> to use http, or change both to something else that the browser will accept (I suspect that .app.MyApplication is not a valid scheme).
Also, please note that browsers are not required to launch apps from links. They may, but they may not. It is up to the browser developer.
<data android:scheme="http"
android:host="example.com"
android:pathPrefix="/myPath" />
This would match everything starting with http://example.com/myPath
So wither you need to change your scheme to http, or you need to change the link in your tag to use a custom scheme like myapp://somehost/somepath
<activity
android:name=".Start"
android:configChanges="orientation"
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>
<data android:scheme="app" android:host="com.example.rose.MoveMobile"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Html code:
app://com.example.rose.MoveMobile
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.

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 developed an application with Android studio and there is a very strange behavior:
After the installation I cant see the application (not the icon nor the name) in all apps list, but I can see that in recent apps and in manage apps.
I sent the APK to myself in email and after the installation the open option was disabled.
I checked the ic_launcher icons and they are fine.
What can cause that? Any ideas?
EDIT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:targetSdkVersion="18" />

<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
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:scheme="http" android:host="my.package.name.host" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation"/>
<activity android:name=".LoginActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
android:configChanges="orientation"/>
</application>
</manifest>
For me having the following lines in the intent-filter were enough to make the ICON appear in the launcher with the other apps
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
When you open the apk, that was sent by email or transfer to your phone you will see the INSTALL option and after succesfully installed the OPEN option is there.
Put tags at two intent-filters like here
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
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.BROWSABLE"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<data android:scheme="http" android:host="qr_3d.com"/>
<data android:scheme="https" android:host="qr_3d.com"/>
<data android:scheme="app" android:host="qr_3d.com"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Make sure the filter is as
should be MAIN and not activity_main, etc.
also remove min / max SDK setting line...
This worked for me
I'm trying to register my Android app as a handler for iCal URLs. To do this I set intent filters in my Manifest for the webcal:// pseudo protocol and for HTTP URLs using the text/calendar MIME type (see below).
This works perfectly fine in the emulator, but on a real device I'm having problems. The webcal:// filter works, but the text/calendar one doesn't. Instead the Browser displays the ical file as plain text instead of passing the URL to my app.
I checked that the browser isn't configured as a default handler for ical (in Settings->Applications->Browser) and I asked a few other people if they could reproduce the problem on their mobiles. All with the same result.
What's the correct way to register for text/calendar URLs?

Update: Turns out the above works fine in the Android 1.6 emulator, but not on a 2.3.3 emulator where it shows the same behavior as on my phone. Is this a bug in Android maybe?
I opened a bug report at https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18796
Just use the DEFAULT category, the BROWSABLE category is might be causing the problem.
Add a .*.ics path pattern to capture any files that have been given the wrong mime type by the server
Put all the data matching into the same filter
