Open specific app based on URL

Question

I will like to open an app if the url

for example if the person opens : http://www.example.com/id=100, i would like to parse example.com and show options to open it with my app.

The same functionality is used by youtube, if you click on youtube link it will either ask if you would like to open it using youtube or directly play youtube video

Answer 1

You can add a data specification to your intent filter with the http schema and the domain you want to open with your app.

<intent-filter ... >
    <data android:scheme="http" android:host="example.com" />
    ...
</intent-filter>

Answer 2

Intent LaunchIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.package.address");
startActivity(LaunchIntent);
