html - Sending an email that opens Android app from email client -


i receive weekly pinterest newsletter. when click on image or available on google play logo inside, built-in popup comes on phone offering me open link chrome or pinterest. key here pinterest app. on laptop brings pinterest.com link.

so working on our newsletter , decided this. did set google play link of our app in <a href /> section, opens google play instead of offering me option open app on phone.

<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.app"><img src="http://www.website.com/mylogo.png"  width="100" height="35"/></a> 

how can this?

solution

i answer question don't understand how works, me, unfortunately stackoverflow doesn't let me it.

this did:

manifest:

<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="http" android:host="yolify.net"      android:pathprefix="/"/> </intent-filter> 

link:

<a href="http://yolify.net">link</a> 

your website (just before </head> tag)

<script> if (screen.width <= 1080) {      document.location = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yolify.android";   } </script> 

what's happening here?

  1. you point link website, not google play url.
  2. in manifest set app listen links pointing website.
  3. you send mobile users google play url, happens when don't have app on phones. otherwise, browser offer open app email.

i highlight though there 5 similar questions on stackoverflow, none of them gives real explanation on background. hope others suffering question.
