Query: Does unity-webview support intent links?

[SH801]

Hi there,

Firstly, congrats on an excellent bit of software - has saved me a whole bunch of time!

For my Unity Android app I'm using Android intents to do deep linking within my app. I was therefore wondering whether unity-webview supports url-based Android intents at all - so clicking on a webview 'intent url' would take me back inside the same app (in a fully webview-host agnostic way)?
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/android/intents#examples

I can potentially achieve my solution using the javascript Unity.__ function but would prefer a tidier solution that just uses url-based intents.

[Apologies in advance if this is already covered in the documentation. ]

Best,

Stefan

I haven't confirmed whether the plugin works for your situation, but the plugin tries to start an activity as below:

unity-webview/plugins/Android/webview/src/main/java/net/gree/unitywebview/CWebViewPlugin.java

Lines 720 to 729 in 3aa60f0

	Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
	// PackageManager pm = a.getPackageManager();
	// List<ResolveInfo> apps = pm.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
	// if (apps.size() > 0) {
	// view.getContext().startActivity(intent);
	// }
	try {
	view.getContext().startActivity(intent);
	} catch (ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
	}

I did a search on the codebase for the URL scheme "intent://" but nothing came up - so sounds like it probably doesn't handle intents :-(

I adjusted code to treat intent:// in #1128 and updated binaries. Could you please try the latest?

Wow, that was quick! Massive thanks for jumping on it so quickly :-)

I'm starting a new job tomorrow so going to be flat out for next few days, but hopefully will have a play with it later this week.

Awesome!!!
