off-topic a little bit - Mobile app deep linking

Marek

Hi all
Has anyone tried https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_deep_linking with Qt app ?
For instancje on Android URI like:
myapp://showItem/33138223345
On Android should I add Java class to extend QtActivity, to get this intent in onCreate ?
Is there some way to make it work on iOS ?

Best Regards

Hi,

If memory serves well, you should implement a custom intent for Androïd and a custom URL scheme on iOS.

Hi
On Android developer pages https://developer.android.com/training/app-links/deep-linking#java they say about Intent catched early on in onCreate. So maybe I should extend QtActivity ?

public class MyActivity extends QtActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    Intent intent = getIntent();
    String action = intent.getAction();
    Uri data = intent.getData();
}
}

And update AndroidManifest about main activity as MyActivity ?
If so, then I could pass somehow this "Uri data" to my application

But how about iOS, I mean there is an explanation for Custom URL scheme here for example
https://coderwall.com/p/mtjaeq/ios-custom-url-scheme
But how to catch on Qt side these parameters passed to app in custom URL like this:
myapp://?foo=1&bar=2
How could I read them in Qt app ?

If I remember correctly, you need to create a custom URL handler and set it through QDesktopService.

For Androïd, yes, you have to extend QtActivity.

@SGaist Thanks, I will try
