Url Scheme Interceptor

Test it

What's gonna happen?
✘ App not installed → Redirect to Play Store
✔ App installed → Start the application or the interceptor

Click here to trigger the url scheme!

Integration

In your build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    compile 'fr.smarquis.usi:usi:1.0.0'
}

In your Application class:

public class YourApplication extends Application {

    @Override public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        Usi.intercept(this);
    }

}

If you want to intercept a custom scheme, simply override the usi_scheme string resource:

<resources>
    <string name="usi_scheme">your-custom-scheme</string>
</resources>

Or more complex, add a new IntentFilter to the InterceptorActivity:

<activity android:name="fr.smarquis.usi.InterceptorActivity">
    <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="your.project.com" android:scheme="http" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

That's it! UrlSchemeInterceptor will automatically intercept the corresponding scheme.

Manual trigger

This demo application can be launched without any modification.
Use this adb command to trigger the default url scheme with some parameters:

adb shell am start \
    -a android.intent.action.VIEW \
    -d 'usi://example.com:8042/over/there/index.html?query=something#refresh' \
    --es extra-string abc \
    --ez extra-boolean true \
    --ei extra-int 123 \
    --el extra-long 123456 \
    --ef extra-float 123.456 \
    --eu extra-uri http://www.google.com \
    --esa extra-stringArray a,b,c

Chrome Intents

The default Chrome implementation is done through intents.
Simply wrap the following intent into an <a href="..."> tag.

intent://example.com:8042/over/there/index.html?query=something#refresh#Intent;scheme=usi;package=fr.smarquis.usi.sample;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;S.string=abc;B.boolean=true;i.int=123;l.long=123456;f.float=123.456;end

The package=x.y.z; is mandatory to prompt the user to install the app if it is not already on the device.
