Android Question Associate a url to open with my app

[Andre Souza]

My app works with a part with a specific url .

As I do so that when the user clicks the URL , my app appears on the preference list .

And as I do to treat this amount received ?

You need to add an intent filter that will intercept the relevant intent. Note that you cannot intercept a specific http url.

Once the intent is intercepted then your app will start and you can get the intent with Activity.GetStartingIntent.

For example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/reading-intent-filters-extra.43719/#content

Hello

Use code

Manifest

AddActivityText(Main,
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"></action>
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>
  <data android:host="app.receitassupreme.com" android:scheme="http"></data>
</intent-filter>)

Code:

Dim in As JavaObject = Activity.GetStartingIntent
Log(in.RunMethod("getParcelableExtra", Array("android.intent.extra.STREAM"))

The value only null.
Where is the mistake ?

Where do you expect the stream to come from?

 

[Andre Souza]

The information will come from links that can be clicked by app.

Example: Facebook , WhatApp , etc.

Your current intent filter intercepts clicks on links. I don't see any reason for a stream to be included in the intent.

How do you get the clicked link ?

I found this article, how do I convert to B4A ?

This code

    Dim Intent1 As Intent
    Intent1 = Activity.GetStartingIntent
    Log(Intent1)

Content Intent = (Intent) Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=http://app.receitassupreme.com/receita/39/compartilhado=true flg=0x3000000 cmp=gh.receitassupreme.com.br/.main (has extras) }

How get only URL?

The solution work

    Dim urlAppInt As Intent
    urlAppInt = Activity.GetStartingIntent
       
    If urlAppInt.ExtrasToString <> "no extras" Then
        Log(urlAppInt.GetData)       
    End If
