Deep Linking Android with special characters

Question

I want my app to be opened on only one url that is in the form

http://www.myhost.com/topic#/line http://www.myhost.com/topic#/line1

But I suppose special characters are not allowed in deep link urls. I have tried encoding # have used wild characters also but no help. Please provide a solution to this.

Answer 1

The # in a URL indicates the beginning of the fragment component, which cannot be used for deep link criteria. Even though you've structured the fragment to look like a normal URL path to human eyes, the computer does not read it this way.

You'll need to reformat your URLs not to include any # character before the path.

Answer 2

If you use &(ampersand) this is also can not be readed. You should use %29 instead
