I am trying to test android deep link urls through adb to launch my app

Question

When I type the command in adb:

./adb shell am start -W -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d \"example:gizmos\" com.myapp

I get this error:

Answer 1

You don't need to specify full path to your activity, but if you want to test whether you react properly to URI in your app just specify app package:

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "example://gizmos" com.myapp

Also there is bug in command you provided - there should be example://gizmos not example:gizmos
