Deep linking #53

Open manzinello opened 4 years ago

manzinello commented 4 years ago

I really want to open the correct apps on mobile, passing the parameters and not only open a link.

On mailgo it works already for WhatsApp (wa.me), Skype (skype://) and for Telegram (t.me).

Outlook and Gmail are opened through a url and I think that could be awesome to open Outlook and Gmail apps if they are installed on the device!

I found the deep link for Outlook: ms-outlook:// (commit https://github.com/manzinello/mailgo/commit/5999d5c3cbb0face0aeff8f76ab0d8139771712f).

I haven't found yet a link to open Gmail.

Which is the best way to implement this feature? How can we check that the correct app is installed on the device to handle the url?

I mean, the 'open default' choice already pulls up a selector for email apps on mobile (at least on Android). Can it just be set to always 'open default' on mobile devices?
