Dear all,
I would like to send a link in an email to trigger the launch of an
Activity.
As for now, with the following link and intent-filter, it works very
well within the default Browser but not in the default Email
application.
HTML link
<a
href="intent:#Intent;action=com.mycompany.project.MY_ACTION;package=com.mycompany.project;end">click
here to launch</a>
intent-filter
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.mycompany.project.MY_ACTION" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
</intent-filter>
I suspect the code in packages/apps/Email/src/com/android/email/
activity/MessageView.java around line 547 to be the cause of the
issue :
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String
url) {
// Handle most uri's via intent launch
boolean result = false;
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse(url));
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
intent.putExtra(Browser.EXTRA_APPLICATION_ID,
getPackageName());
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
try {
startActivity(intent);
.....
}
Instead of using Intent.parseUri(url, Intent.URI_INTENT_SCHEME); like
in BrowserActivity.java (around line 2654) which permits to use
custom action, the Intent action is forced to be Intent.ACTION_VIEW
and the custom action can not be resolved.
Is this a known issue or am I missing something about custom action
and Intents?
Does any workaround exist to get this behavior within the Email client
without using a custom scheme?
Thanks
