[FIXED] Get Url from other apps android Studio

Issue

Get Url from other sources/apps. like when you click share button on YouTube you see a bunch of apps.

How can I implement this ability in my app .

Example - open url with x app .

I have searched on internet but found nothing .

Solution

Try this, In you manifest, put this in the first activity that will be open when your app launch like your SplashActivity

 <intent-filter android:label="testing">
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
    <data android:scheme="https" android:host="www.youtube.com" />
</intent-filter>

And retrieve the data from the your by putting the below in the onCreateView() of the Activity

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
   setContentView(R.layout.splash_activity)
    
    //this is what you need here
    val action: String? = intent?.action
    val data: Uri? = intent?.data
   }
