I've read a tutorial on how to launch an app from a link on the browser. I've created an activity 'TestLaunch'.

 <activity android:name=".TestMe" android:label="Test"> <intent-filter> <data android:scheme="testme.com" /> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /> </intent-filter> </activity>

Then I connected my android phone and clicked 'debug' on Eclipse. The app launched as usual. I openned the browser and typed 'testme.com'. The activity was not started as expected. Is this because the app is not fully installed on the phone or because I am understanding wrongly how the intent filter works?

try this:

 <activity android:name=".TestMe" android:label="Test"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category> <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category> <data android:host="www.testme.com" android:scheme="http"></data> </intent-filter> </activity>

No, that just openned www.testme.com .
If you go to testme.com it should open up a selection dialog where you can choose which program you want to use to open the page, either Browser or your app...
It didn't work at first, but with little modifications. Also, it only did work using a <a href="mylink">click me</a> in a page - not by typing it directly to the browser.
