In this tutorial i will show a way of using MobileDeepLinking in your app.
To use App deeplinking in your app to you need to setup your manifet to do so
Lets start with it:
Edit your manifest and add
to it.
mydeep in this case is the deeplinking scheme i added for my tests...
To make use of the Activity org.mobiledeeplinking.android.MobileDeepLinking you need to use the attached B4A Library (MobileDeeplinking). See Example too
In this tutorial i will show you a way to get dynamic (not really as a file must be placed in assets. But you can update your app to get a new config file to use) deeplinking based on an json file which configures all deeplinks. You can see at the deeplinking lib as kind of a "router for your apps deeplinks".
assets/mobiledeeplinkingconfig.json
But if you use the url "mydeep://product/123/4567" this will call the main activity too but provides some kind of pairing the url to variables (kind of)
In this case the productID is set to 123 and the customerID is set to 4567. This is delegated/routed to the activity de.donmanfred.deeplinking.main
If you use the url "mydeep://order/ABCDEF" it will set the orderID to ABCDEF and call the Activity
de.donmanfred.deeplinking.orders (Activity orders in example)
For more informations on what you can do with the json please refer to the original sites documentation!
