How to implement my very own URI scheme on Android

Question

Say I want to define that an URI such as:

myapp://path/to/what/i/want?d=This%20is%20a%20test

must be handled by my own application, or serv

Another alternate approach to Diego's is to use a library:

You can easily declare the URIs you'd like to handle and the parameters you'd like to extract through annotations on the Activity, like:

@DeepLink("path/to/what/i/want")
public class SomeActivity extends Activity {
  ...
}

As a plus, the query parameters will also be passed along to the Activity as well.
