So I'm clicking on this link:
<a href="intent://www.google.com#Intent;scheme=http;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;end">Google</a> (I know its a silly example, since it could just be http://www.google.com, but its illustrative of the problem)
I determined this URI from
Log.v(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).setData(Uri.parse("http://www.google.com")).toUri( Intent.URI_INTENT_SCHEME)); I see the following in logcat:
08-02 08:32:34.708 I/ActivityManager( 71): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW cat=[android.intent.category.BROWSABLE] dat=http://www.google.com cmp=com.android.browser/.BrowserActivity } 08-02 08:32:34.748 E/Tab ( 4188): onReceivedError -10 intent://www.google.com#Intent;scheme=http;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;end The protocol is not supported Rather than redirecting to www.google.com I get the "Web page not available" page.
If I launch the identical intent using the am binary, it succeeds.
adb -e shell am start -d http://www.google.com -a android.intent.action.VIEW I see this in logcat
08-02 08:47:42.488 I/ActivityManager( 71): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=http://www.google.com flg=0x10000000 cmp=com.android.browser/.BrowserActivity } The ultimate goal is to have a URL that launches a specific activity in an app (and theres no way for someone to get to this page without having the app installed). I know I can also define a custom scheme, but since its a global namespace I'd rather not do that. I also know I can use http:// for this purpose, but I don't want the user to be prompted whether they want to open the URL in the browser or my app.
Any ideas?
