Custom Json data from Facebook Applinks

I am using below piece of code for getting target_url to my App.. every thing works fine but I want to pass json data from the target site to my app.. I have refered to Applinks.org documentation but there is no precise documentation on what i want.

    <head>
        <meta property="al:android:url" content="example://applinks" />
        <meta property="al:android:package" content="com.example" />
        <meta property="al:android:app_name" content="Example App" />
        <!-- Other headers -->
    </head>

On using below piece of code in my SplashActivity it throws NullPointer exception on bundle.getString("al_applink_data")..Am i refering to wrong bundle or my key/pair is wrong ???

        Bundle bundle=AppLinks.getAppLinkData(getIntent());
        Log.d("json i want",""+targetUrl+bundle.getString("al_applink_data"));

Please help!!!!

Solution

  • The Bundle that is returned by the AppLinks.getAppLinkData(Intent) call already contains the contents of the "al_applink_data" data.

    Hence, you don't need to fetch the data under the "al_applink_data" key by calling .getString("al_applink_data") on that bundle. Instead, you can directly fetch the information that is nested inside the "al_applink_data" section of the data.

    For a complete example, check out the AppLinks/Bolts docs page on github:

    Bundle applinkData = AppLinks.getAppLinkData(getIntent());
String id = applinkData.getString("id");
