One of the activities in my app has an intent-filter
with:
- Action - VIEW
- Categories - DEFAULT
- BROWSABLE
Data - scheme is 'myapp123'. I want to start this activity from another application using the Intent but I get NoActivityFoundException
. Even if I type myapp123:// from the browser, it doesn't get called. Any help on resolving this issue will be appreciated.
AndroidManifest.xml
<activity android:name="TwitterStatus" android:label="TwitterStatus">
<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="myapp123" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
actually I have this callback address for OAuth authentication to Twitter
mTwitterCallBack = "myapp123://twittercallback" ;
after authenticating by twitter the browser itself tries to search for this URI
for the purpose of testing, I have put a test option in one of the activities as follows
Activity
Intent tstIntent = new Intent (Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(mTstURI)) ;
// value of mTstURI entered at runtime - myapp123://twittercallback
try {
startActivity(tstIntent) ;
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// always catches the exception.
