How to start up an Android app via browser link?
<p>I read this 2 year old <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3469908/make-a-link-in-the-android-browser-start-up-my-app">question</a> about how to start an app via a browser link. I follow the instruction from <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/users/236398/hackbod">hackbod</a> to do not use a custom scheme.</p>

<p>I prepare a html-site with the following link:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;a href="intent:#Intent;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;category=android.intent.category.DEFAULT;category=android.intent.category.BROWSABLE;package=com.jamic.secapp;end"&gt;Sec App&lt;/a&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>The intent-filter part of my manifest.xml looks like this:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          package="com.jamic.secapp"
...
&lt;intent-filter&gt;
            &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/&gt;
            &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/&gt;
            &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/&gt;
            &lt;data android:scheme="intent"/&gt;
&lt;/intent-filter&gt;
...
</code></pre>

<p>When I open the html site in a browser (I tried the standard android browser and dolphin browser) and click on the link, the browser redirected me to the Play-Store and I get the message:</p>

<pre><code>No result found for "pname:com.jamic.secapp"
</code></pre>

<p>But when I open the html-site with the standard HTML-Viewer from android, the link works fine.</p>

<p>So whats wrong? I don't want to be a bad boy and use custom schemes :P</p>

<p>Thanks for your answers :)</p>
