I need to launch my WP7 application from the phone's browser and pass some arguments. For example, the following url would be a link on an html page. Clicking the link would start my application. iPhone and Android both have these capabilites by the name of 'url schemes'.
appName://my.arguments.here
How can I accomplish this on WP7?
Thanks!
Link to Windows on Android devices On such devices, you can find the Link to Windows app under the Quick Settings menu by swiping down from the top of your screen. For all other Android devices running Android 7.0 or later, download the new Link to Windows app from the Google Play Store.
With the Phone Link app, you can instantly access the Android apps installed on your mobile device right on your PC. Using a Wi-Fi connection, Apps allows you to browse, play, order, chat, and more — all while using your PC's larger screen and keyboard.
This link between your device and PC gives you instant access to everything you love. Read and reply to text messages with ease, view recent photos from your Android device, use your favorite mobile apps, make and receive calls, and manage your Android device's notifications right on your PC.
Unfortunately there is currently no support for "url schemes" or custom URL handlers that will allow you to handle these requests from within your application.
