Question

I’m trying to get a web URL to open / launch an activity for my application, but it isn’t working. The URL is something similar to the following:

https://zzz.yyy.com/activate?user=“123123123”&token=”absdi24″

I only need the link to be recognized up to the point of “activate”. I set my intent up as follows:

<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="https" android:host="zzz.yyy.com"
            android:path="/activate*"/>
        </intent-filter>

I have tried this code with and without the wild-card (*) at the end of the ‘path’ and nothing has worked so far. What is missing?

Answer 1

android:path is a literal complete path. Try android:pathPrefix or android:pathPattern — in this case, pathPrefix would seem to be sufficient.
