# [https://tech.just-eat.com/2015/06/29/deep-linking-in-android-the-easy-way/ Article about ACTION_VIEWs] using a custom scheme


From my limited understanding, we can define two custom `scheme`s such that:
We can define two custom `scheme`s such that:
  - ACTION_VIEW intents that start with `kolibri://<path>` will be handled by the Kolibiri app,
* ACTION_VIEW intents that start with `kolibri://<path>` will be handled by the Kolibiri app (see below)
  - and ACTION_VIEW intents starting with `kiwix://<path>` will be handled by the Kiwix app,
* ACTION_VIEW intents starting with `kiwix://<path>` will be handled by the Kiwix app,
 
* Suppose you're in the Kiwix app and you're browsing some videos from KA zim file. The exercises don't work within the Kiwix appthough, but you can click on an perseus exercise and the Kiwix app will send you to the Kolibri app as follows  Uri exercise = Uri.parse("kolibri:/learn/#/1ceff53605.../topics/c/845ce535...");<br> Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, exercise); // do check here callIntent.startActivity()
We could something like this in the Kolibri android app manifest need:
We could something like this in the Kolibri android app manifest:

To verify there is an activity available that can respond to the intent, call <code>queryIntentActivities()</code> to get a list of activities capable of handling your <code>Intent</code>. If the returned <code>List</code> is not empty, you can safely use the intent. For example:
PackageManager packageManager = <code>getPackageManager()</code>;<br>
List = activities = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
boolean isIntentSafe = activities.size() > 0;
If <code>isIntentSafe</code> is <code>true</code>, then we know that the intent-receiving app is installed and will respond to the intent.
