Hi Diane,
I just wanted to confirm what you are saying, as I have read this can
be done, then fought with it not working (has this been "fixed" to not
work in newer releases of the Android SDK??), and after searching for
solutions I see lots of posts from other people trying to do this,
that is: define our own custom scheme so we can send emails and html
pages that cause the app to open....
I *suspect* I have seen (older?) Android documentation/examples that
suggests doing it, but as I don't have a solid reference handy I won't
insist on that point.
Just found this on my machine, under android API level 9 and level API
samples.... Android wicktionary sample code...
/android-sdk-mac_86/docs/resources/samples/Wiktionary/
AndroidManifest.html
<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="wiktionary"
android:host="lookup" />
</intent-filter>
> Please DO NOT use your own scheme. That is
> "yourapplication://doaction?parameters" is wrong.
We are trying to send emails to users with links that can cause the
app to be opened on Android AND iPhone, but it seems iPhone protects
the existing schemes and limits them to the built-in apps and does not
allow us to specify a url filter for the http scheme..... so there is
no way to specify a link that will work on both platforms?
Aaaarrrggg....
Andrew
