Declaring an arbitrary url scheme in the manifest, resulting in duplicate application in the full action dialog
I want to open a deep link dialog in my application, so I have defined the following in my manifest:
<activity
android:name=".ActivityA"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="@style/AppBaseTheme"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|stateVisible" >
<intent-filter>
<data android:scheme="rentaldashboard" />
<data android:scheme="https" />
<data android:scheme="http" />
<data android:host="my.site.com" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
</intent-filter>
<activity
android:name=".ActitivtyB"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="@style/AppBaseTheme"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|stateVisible" >
<intent-filter>
<data android:scheme="rentalreset" />
<data android:scheme="https" />
<data android:scheme="http" />
<data android:host="my.site.com" />
<data android:pathPattern=".*" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
ActivityA and ActivityB use a schema and when I run over the code it shows a dialog like below:
The dialog shows my application logo twice. I want only one logo to be displayed at a time for both activities. So, any idea how I can make this possible?
If you only have partial urls like /user
or /news
for ActivityA and /admin
it's just for ActivityB then you should improve your path filters. By the way, they have to start with a forward slash and that the patterns are not regexps.
If you want to support custom schema and http (s) url, then you should use several intent filters:
<activity
android:name=".ActivityA"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="@style/AppBaseTheme"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|stateVisible" >
<intent-filter>
<data android:scheme="https" />
<data android:scheme="http" />
<data android:host="dev.worldofrental.com" />
<data android:host="www.worldofrental.com" />
<data android:pathPrefix="/urlredirect/getstarted" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<data android:scheme="your.package.name"
android:host="getstarted" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".ActitivtyB"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="@style/AppBaseTheme"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|stateVisible" >
<intent-filter>
<data android:scheme="https" />
<data android:scheme="http" />
<data android:host="dev.worldofrental.com" />
<data android:host="www.worldofrental.com" />
<data android:pathPrefix="/urlredirect/resetpassword" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<data android:scheme="your.package.name"
android:host="resetpassword" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
In general, I would suggest using the package name as the schema to make sure no other application will steal your intent.
