Is it possible to open my app through inbox SMS?

android, mobile

Solution

You can open your app from a link contained in the SMS.

Create an intent-filter for your domain like this :

<activity
    android:name="ActivityFromSMS" >
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <data
            android:host="mydomain.com"
            android:scheme="http" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

Then, clicking on a link to `http://mydomain.com/...` (that can be in an SMS) will prompt the user to open it with your app.

Problem
