Facebook app link is not working. link contains the following:
<html>
<head>
<meta property="al:android:url" content="myapp://12345" />
<meta property="al:android:package" content="com.my.app" />
<meta property="al:android:app_name" content="myApp" />
<meta property="al:web:should_fallback" content="false" />
</head>
</html>
Androidmanifest is like the following:
<activity
android:name="com.my.app.MyAppActivity"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
<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="myapp" />
</intent-filter>
Meta property in the html should be responsible for launching intent from the Facebook app but opening the link through facebook doesn't launch the application.
Where I am getting wrong?
This how App Link working for me to share with friends via Facebook or other sharing intent.
Share Intent Code
Intent intent=new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Lets Enjoy");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Lets Enjoy" + "http://myApp.com/id/"+12345);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share With Friends"));
Android Manifest.
<activity
android:name="com.package.youractivitytoopen"
android:theme="@style/MyMaterialTheme"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data
android:scheme="http"
android:host="myApp.com"
android:pathPrefix="/id/" ></data>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
If you sharing data then you will get data like that
Intent intentShare = getIntent();
String action = intentShare.getAction();
Uri data = intentShare.getData();
if(data!=null) {
String url = data.toString();
String[] separated = url.split("/");
id= Integer.parseInt(separated[4]);
}
Share with your friends via share intent if they have application it will show option to open with app and opened at the activity you set in manifest.
