Open android-app scheme with Chrome on Android
You have to add <data../>
describing URI in intent-filter
for your component, like so,
<intent-filter> ... <data android:scheme="android-app"/></intent-filter>
and on your site part define intent like this
intent:#Intent;scheme=android-app;package=your_package;end
UPDATE.Didn't realize that scheme was a reserved one, although my solution works for any scheme you define.I looked up the sources of the Intent class it seems you have to define your URI like this
android-app://your_package
OR
android-app://your_package/ #Intent;action=com.example.MY_ACTION;end
First line of the parseUri
method in the Androids Intent class
final boolean androidApp = uri.startsWith("android-app:");
Worth to mention: This scheme was added on API 22.
I've tested it works with a
tag, and as @tynn mentioned in the comments also for window.open()
and location.href
and not working from the address bar in Chrome.
