Well, here's an example of the functional deeplink. I created an HTML page to be loaded into the app with the link (), calling the app. The sample video I took at link .
AndroidManifest.xml
It's in the manifest that I'm going to do the deep link setup. The deep link is nothing more than a path into the app, where I'll open an activity and process the value of what came from the deep link. VideoActivity no manifest has been configured to accept a link with the format deeplinkvideo: // video
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.grupoestudos.deeplinkwebview">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"

</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
styles.xml

index.html
This file was created to simulate, it has only one link, calling the format that was created in the app. Note that I pass the name of the video file as querystring, and I will read that value later.
<html>
<body>
<a href="deeplinkvideo://video?video=VfE_html5.mp4">Link para o video</a>
</body>
</html>
MainActivity.java
Here I will only load the webview reading from the assets
package com.grupoestudos.deeplinkwebview;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private WebView mWebView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mWebView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);
mWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/index.html");
}
}
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<WebView
android:id="@+id/webView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
Now in this activity is the "cat leap". In it I'll get the querystring passed by the deeplink, and load the file into the Android VideoView.
VideoActivity.java
package com.grupoestudos.deeplinkwebview;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.widget.VideoView;
public class VideoActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_video);
//Este parametro vai ser importante, pois ele vai ter o id do video para carregarmos
Uri data = getIntent().getData();
String uri = "http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/" + data.getQueryParameter("video");
VideoView mVideoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoView);
if (mVideoView != null) {
mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(uri));
mVideoView.requestFocus();
mVideoView.start();
}
}
}
activity_video.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<VideoView
android:id="@+id/videoView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
Only with respect to videoview controls that do not know how to handle beauty well?
I hope I have helped.
