Launch android application from a browser link

by

It took me 6 hours to figure out the problem. Somehow setting the exported to false caused all the problem: android:exported="false". When I set it to true, it worked like a charm.

Funny because I put it there in the first place to avoid the Exported activity does not require permission warning. Setting it back to true, brought back the warning, but it is working now.

Solution is below. Hope it will help others save time.

<activity
      android:name=".MainActivity"
      android:label="@string/title_activity_main" 
      android:exported="true">
      <intent-filter>
          <data  android:scheme="allplayer" />
          <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
          <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
          <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
      </intent-filter>
  </activity>
