Events fired in Android only locally

[lcaprini]

Hi, I've installed the plugin on my app and I'm using Google Firebase's Deeplink feature, and on iOS all works perfectly, but on Android platform I've a strange behaviour.

First of all, my config.xml plugin section is:

<universal-links>
    <host name="r123u.app.goo.gl" scheme="https">
        <path event="ul_eventcode" url="/eventcode" />
        <path event="ul_agenda" url="/agenda" />
    </host>
</universal-links>

I've installed the app on my real device using

cordova run android

and after that I've used the

adb shell am start -W -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "https://r123u.app.goo.gl/eventcode?code=1234" it.test.myapp.

All works fine: the device launches the app and the ul_eventcode event is fired (I'm showing an alert with "Event Code 1234" to test it).

So I copied the url and I pasted it in websites field in my contact inside the Contacts app. Now if I tap on the link, the app will be opened, but no events are fired.

Can you help me?

Thanks, --Luca

Hi again, I'm debugging the native plugin's code and I found the line where the plugin stops to work.

UniversalLinksPlugin.java:183

// if app was not launched by the url - ignore
if (!Intent.ACTION_VIEW.equals(action) || launchUri == null) {
return;
}

When I open link from Contacts app the value of action is "android.intent.action.MAIN", so the condition will be verified and plugin returns nothing.

I checked the AndroidManifest.xml file but seems to be correct:

...
<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
    <data android:host="r123u.app.goo.gl" android:scheme="https" android:path="/eventcode"/>
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
    <data android:host="r123u.app.goo.gl" android:scheme="https" android:path="/agenda"/>
</intent-filter>
...

How can I "set" the action to "android.intent.action.VIEW" as local tests?

Thanks, --Luca
