I want an activity to launch when a user touches a special URL embedded

  • 0

I want an activity to launch when a user touches a special URL embedded in an SMS message. I have an activity with an intent filter that matches my unique scheme, host, and pathPrefix. Of course the first time the user touches a link to my trigger url they are presented with the “Complete action using” selection that includes my application and any web browser the user has installed.

Is there a way I can programmatically set the “use by default” setting so my activity is the default action?

(I know this smells like I’d be taking away control from the user so I doubt it is possible, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask).

    No, sorry.

    You have an exquisite olfactory sense… 🙂
