Setting up Android App Links

When you use Android App Links in your messages, users can tap a link to your website and get seamlessly redirected to your installed app without going through a browser, all while having the links tracked within Iterable. 

For the iOS equivalent feature (Universal Links), click here.

Setup

1. Enable App Links 

Setup your application to enable App Links via the instructions here.

1. Create Intent Handlers for URIs
2. Generate assetlinks.json file

2. Upload assetlinks.json

After you generate the assetlinks.json file with your app's fingerprint, the .well-known/assetlinks.json will need to be hosted by Iterable, so you can send it to us via email!

Once the assetlinks.json file is upload you can test it out via the Statement List Generator and Tester.

3. Determine which links to rewrite

Iterable re-writes links defined by your uploaded apple-app-site-association file. See steps 1-3 in the Setting up iOS Universal Links for details on how to set that file up.

4. Setup the track and get redirect call

From your application’s onCreate, call getAndTrackDeeplink along with a callback to handle the destination deep link URL.

java protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { 
	String dataUri = this.getIntent().getDataString(); 
	IterableHelper.IterableActionHandler clickCallback = new IterableHelper.IterableActionHandler() { 
    	@Override public void execute(String result) { 
			Log.d(“HandleDeeplink”, “Redirected to: “+ result); //handle deeplink here 
		} 
	};
	IterableApi.getAndTrackDeeplink(dataUri, clickCallback); 
}
