I'm trying to find if there is any app schema,
to open the Snapchat app (via Intent) with a specific userID that I want to chat with?
BTW, to find the userID:

This the only thing that works for me. Unfortunately, it adds the extra step of making the user choose the browser or Snapchat app.
Intent nativeAppIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://snapchat.com/add/" + snapchatId));
startActivity(nativeAppIntent);
Oddly enough, the URL scheme snapchat://add/" + snapchatId
works on iOS but not on Android (it opens the Android app, but does not pop up the user).
EDIT: Add intent.setPackage("com.snapchat.android");
and it will open the app without the chooser. But adding this means you will need to surround everything with a try/catch to prevent a crash.
try {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://snapchat.com/add/" + snapchatId));
intent.setPackage("com.snapchat.android");
startActivity(intent);
} catch (Exception e) {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://snapchat.com/add/" + snapchatId)));
}
