Android deep linking doesn't launch app

android, android-intent, deep-linking

Solution

As far as I'm aware, this will only work when you click a link to the site, not when you type the URL in.

On the off-chance you're reading this on the Android device your testing on, here is a link for you

Problem

I'm pulling my hair out over this; the instructions seemed so simple, yet they just don't work. Here's the manifest activity intent code: ``` <activity android:theme="@style/Theme.Buhzyellowtoplighttabs" android:name="com.blah.package" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateHidden" android:screenOrientation="portrait" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/> <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/> <data android:scheme="http" android:host="www.buhz.com" /> </intent-filter> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> ``` So you would think that when I run the app on my phone, go to my browser and go to `www.buhz.com` it should give me a option to launch the app, right?
