Receive URL in Ionic/Cordova

Question

I\'m trying to set up a way to receive a url from another app. Like, you are in browser, click share, and send the link to another app (my app). I found this cordova plugin, and

Answer 1

I've been working on something similar. I was able to get the url by using this plugin by Initsogar

The plugin can be found here https://github.com/Initsogar/cordova-webintent

You can get the incoming url as follows:

var incomingURL
window.plugins.webintent.getExtra(window.plugins.webintent.EXTRA_TEXT,
      function(url) {
        incomingURL = url
        console.log(incomingURL);
      }, function() {
        incomingURL = false;
      }
  );

Hope this helps, and good luck on the app! Ionic is awesome :)
