Deep linking Android

Deep linking is a techniques in which the user directly redirect to the specific pages of the application by click on the deeplink url.

There are two types deeplinking

  • Normal deeplinking - Direct deep linking occurs when a user already has your app installed on their device. When this is the case, the deep link will redirect the user to the screen specified in the link.

  • Deferred deeplinking - Deferred deep linking occurs when a user does not have your app installed on their device. When this is the case, the deep link will first send the user to the device app store to install the app. Once the user has installed and opened the app, the SDK will redirect them to the screen specified in the link.

Please check below the Deeplinking scenario

  • Add the intent-filter section to the activity definition.
  • Assign an android:scheme property value with your preferred scheme name. For example, you could set up an activity called MainActivity to open like this:
