Firebase dynamic link, clear it after using once

Question

https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/android/receive

states that

Calling getDynamicLink() retrieves the link and clears that data

Answer 1

Duplicate the code written in MainActivity:onCreate method (entire Firebase Dynamic Links related code) inside MainActivity:onNewIntent method, this works irrespective of the app is running in the background or not.

Also MainActivity:onNewIntent method is not invoked if the app is not present in background hence no duplicate Firebase call happens.

Your MainActivity should look like this

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    //...

    FirebaseDynamicLinks.getInstance()
            .getDynamicLink(getIntent())
            .addOnSuccessListener(this, new OnSuccessListener() {
                @Override
                public void onSuccess(PendingDynamicLinkData pendingDynamicLinkData) {
                    // Get deep link from result (may be null if no link is found)
                    Uri deepLink = null;
                    if (pendingDynamicLinkData != null) {
                        deepLink = pendingDynamicLinkData.getLink();
                    }


                    // Handle the deep link. For example, open the linked
                    // content, or apply promotional credit to the user's
                    // account.
                    // ...


            })
            .addOnFailureListener(this, new OnFailureListener() {
                @Override
                public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
                    Log.w(TAG, "getDynamicLink:onFailure", e);
                }
            });
}

@Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
    //...

    FirebaseDynamicLinks.getInstance()
            .getDynamicLink(intent)
            .addOnSuccessListener(this, new OnSuccessListener() {
                @Override
                public void onSuccess(PendingDynamicLinkData pendingDynamicLinkData) {
                    // Get deep link from result (may be null if no link is found)
                    Uri deepLink = null;
                    if (pendingDynamicLinkData != null) {
                        deepLink = pendingDynamicLinkData.getLink();
                    }


                    // Handle the deep link. For example, open the linked
                    // content, or apply promotional credit to the user's
                    // account.
                    // ...


            })
            .addOnFailureListener(this, new OnFailureListener() {
                @Override
                public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
                    Log.w(TAG, "getDynamicLink:onFailure", e);
                }
            });
}
