Hie.
I’m not sure if it’s a Corona issue or is it something else.
I’m trying to get my app to open using a custom url scheme. On iOS it works well and on older android devices it works as well.
My build settings is -
intentFilters = { { label = "Fashion Eye", actions = { "android.intent.action.VIEW" }, categories = { "android.intent.category.DEFAULT", "android.intent.category.BROWSABLE", }, data = { scheme = "FashionEye" }, }, -- You can add more intent filters here. },
My issue is with older devices that are using the new Chrome browser as the standard one. they don’t respond to the old url scheme but require using intents instead.
this is google’s documentation on the subject -
https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/intents
I’ve tried using their example and there was an improvement but I can’t seem to open the app itself. I managed to open the page of my app on the market place (play) so users can download or click open.
I’ve also tried several tutorials but without success. this is the best one I could find but it still doesn’t work.
This didn’t work for me -
\<a href="intent://scan/#Intent;scheme=zxing;package=com.google.zxing.client.android;end"\> Take a QR code \</a\>
I’m thinking that it might be related to how corona is declaring the intents. maybe Android expects a different action such as open?
Thanks in advance,
