Using [https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html | Using Intents to cross-link between the Kolibri and Kiwix apps. Useful links: | ||

# we're interested in the ACTION_VIEW intent: [https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#getScheme() ACTION VIEW], the view's URI can be resolved with a custom schema | |||
# [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: | |||
- ACTION_VIEW intents that start with `kolibri://<path>` will be handled by the Kolibiri app, | |||
- and ACTION_VIEW intents starting with `kiwix://<path>` will be handled by the Kiwix app, | |||
We could something like this in the Kolibri android app manifest need: | |||
<nowiki> | |||
<activity | |||
android:name=".activities.LinkDispatcherActivity" | |||
android:noHistory="true" | |||
android:launchMode="singleInstance" | |||
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoDisplay" > | |||
<intent-filter> | |||
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/> | |||
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/> | |||
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/> | |||
<data android:scheme="kolibri"/> | |||
<data android:host="view_channel"/> | |||
<data android:host="view_node"/> | |||
<data android:pathPattern=".*"/> | |||
</intent-filter> | |||
</activity> | |||
</nowiki> | |||
in the Kiwix android app | |||
<nowiki> | |||
<activity | |||
android:name=".activities.LinkDispatcherActivity" | |||
android:noHistory="true" | |||
android:launchMode="singleInstance" | |||
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoDisplay" > | |||

<data android:host="view_zimfile"/> | |||
<data android:host="view_page"/> | |||
<data android:pathPattern=".*"/> | |||
