| svartoyg | Greetings. Does somebody have a hint for me how to make deep links to Android apps (Alien Dalvik) work? Concretely, i want to do an OIDC login. | 17:41 |
|---|---|---|
| attah | svartoyg: what is a deep link? | 17:57 |
| svartoyg | a link with a special scheme, which is supposed to be handled by a certain application | 17:58 |
| svartoyg | some applications require user interaction in a browser. when the required action is done, there needs to be a way to convey the result to the application. this is often done via deep links | 17:59 |
| attah | I tend to just select a Android browser for those, and then it just works | 18:00 |
| svartoyg | ah, that sounds like a promising approach | 18:00 |
| svartoyg | any recommendation for an Android browser? | 18:00 |
| attah | Firefox, possibly the Focus version | 18:01 |
| attah | supposedly these schemes should work from the outside too, but i have only ever had marginal success | 18:02 |
| attah | i once wrote aq .desktop file declaring the relevant scheme and invoking the proper Android intent via apkd-launcher | 18:03 |
| attah | i even wrote one for my desktop that would ssh over and invoke it on the phone... but i no longer have that use-case | 18:05 |
| svartoyg | attah: that does the trick!! thanks a lot | 18:12 |
| attah | no worries | 18:12 |
