Where's my app? Android disappears (but is still installed) after setting intent.

Jul 30, 2012 9:27 AM

Hi,

I've compiled an app for iOS and Android using a custom url scheme.

The scheme works a dream, but...

 

Since adding in my intent filter for Android, I've found the app doesn't show in "Applications" view, so I can't drag it onto the desktop / page (whatever the correct terminology is). I know my app is both installed and working as I can launch it from a browser using my custom url scheme, it is just utterly impossible to find / launch / uninstall as it doesn't appear anywhere...

 

I've pasted my intent XML below, please can anyone who understands these things take a look and let me know if I've done something stupid, such as block out the default behaviour or something?

 

Many thanks,

 

Gaius

 



<application android:enabled="true">



<activity android:excludeFromRecents="false">





<intent-filter>







<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />



<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />






<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>



<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>


 <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>


 <data android:scheme="acustomurlschemevalue"/>


</intent-filter>


</activity>


</application>

    Sorted.

    I needed to list intents separately:

     

    <application android:enabled="true">

                        <activity android:excludeFromRecents="false">

                            <intent-filter>

                               

                                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

                             </intent-filter>

                            <intent-filter>

                                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>

                                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>

                                 <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>

                                <data android:scheme="tiddlypompomppom"/>

                            </intent-filter>

                        </activity>

                    </application>
