title: Open android application from a web page
body: <p>I know that for opening android application from a link inside a web page we have to write the following in the <code>AndroidManifest.xml</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        &lt;intent-filter&gt;
              &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/&gt;
              &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /&gt;
              &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" /&gt;
              &lt;data android:scheme="my_scheme" android:host="my_host" /&gt;
          &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that I wrote it in the following way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        &lt;intent-filter&gt;
              &lt;action android:name="my_action"/&gt;
              &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /&gt;
              &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" /&gt;
              &lt;data android:scheme="my_scheme" android:host="my_host" /&gt;
          &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I didn't add <code>android.intent.action.VIEW</code> and instead I added my own action that i made.
  I can't change it because the version is already released.</p>
  
  <p>The question is, </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>if there's a way to make the application run from JavaScript or simple
    html page, maybe by defining the specific action in the page?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>

  <p>SOLVED:</p>
  
  <p>Thanks to David I found a solution:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="intent://my_host#Intent;scheme=my_scheme;action=my_action;end"&gt;Link to my stuff&lt;/a&gt; 
  </code></pre>
