Open my app from a link

Question

In my app the server send this link: appname://[email protected]&token=asdf-asdf-asdf-xcfghfgh but is it possible to get the values like email= [email protected] and the token = sdfdkgdkgjgfd.

So far I've only added this intent filter inside my manifest but the app is not called:

<intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>

                <data android:mimeType="text/plain" android:scheme="appname://"/>
            </intent-filter>

Note this should open my app when the link is clicked in the browser

You can get the email and token by getting the Activity's intent like this:

    <intent-filter>
                    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND"/>
                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>

                    <data android:mimeType="text/plain" android:scheme="https" 
                     android:host="api.myapp.com"
                     android:pathPrefix="/api/v2/verify"/>
       </intent-filter>

Intent intent = getIntent();
Uri data = intent.getData();
String email = data.getQueryParameter("email");
String token = data.getQueryParameter("token");
