I played with application links with a test case, but it does not work in my case.
I created two html files source.html and some_html_file.html in the resource directory. I upload the source.html file to the webview and and I go to some_html_file.html using this button. Look at the source that you will find out what I'm doing here.
source.html
<html>
<form name = "type_1" action="some_html_file.html">
<input type="submit" value="Example 1 - open some html file"/>
</form>
<form name = "type_2" action="example2://node/news/23">
<input type="submit" value="Example 2 - go to news 23"/>
</form>
</html>
some_html_file.html
<html>
<head>
<meta property="al:android:url" content="example://node/news/23" />
<meta property="al:android:package" content="com.example.uritest" />
<meta property="al:android:app_name" content="UriTest" />
</head>
<h3>This is uri test page.</h3>
</html>
Problem
Thus, by pressing the first button, I expect android os to read the tags of the <meta>target html file and show my activity, which has logic for processing intent.
AndroidManifest.xml
<activity android:name=".HandleUriActivity">
<intent-filter>
<data
android:scheme="example"
/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<data
android:scheme="example2"
/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
From the logarithm, I see that -
D/WebViewCallback: shouldOverrideUrlLoading = file:///android_asset/some_html_file.html? W/WebViewCallback: :///android_asset/some_html_file.html?
:
. . _2 source.html. 2 - 23 , HandleUriActivity.
host = node
authority = node
path = /news/23
, i.e. android os , (some_html_file.html), .
