963099 - Launch apps directly from a web page via an Android Intent

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 851693

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[guigui]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/32.0.1700.76 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

google changed last year the way an android app should ne launched by clicking a web link. we changed the code of our mobile landpage according to:

https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/intents?hl=ja

after it was implemented on tricount, the code seems to works on main browsers except unfortunately firefox (it was repported by users a few days ago).

please try with demo tricount

Actual results:

toast saying no app is installed that can manage the action (translated from french)


Expected results:

if tricount was installed, the demo tricount (related to the link) should be uploaded in the tricount android app.

Would be good to have this bit of platform integration. 

Depending on how your app is designed we have a UI for helper apps as described in bug 899376.
