Receive Deep Links on Android

To receive deep link in your Android App first you need to do the needful

Prerequisite

Follow these steps to configure one or more mobile apps:

1. If you haven't already, add your Android project.

2. When you register your app, specify your project name, package name and sub domain.

If registered, Add an intent filter for deep links:

As with plain deep links, you must add a new intent filter to the activity that handles deep links for your app. The intent filter should catch deep links of your domain, since the Deep Link will redirect to your domain if your app is installed. This is required for your app to receive the Deep Link data after it is installed/updated from the Play Store and one taps on Continue button. In AndroidManifest.xml:

Code:

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
    <data
        android:host="example.alnk.in"
        android:scheme="https"/>
</intent-filter>

When users open a Deep Link with a dynamic link to the scheme and host you specify, your app will start the activity with this intent filter to handle the link.
