如何在Android上通过网络打开应用

Question

I create 'iframe' element, use the http scheme to open an app on Android Device, it works fine if the app is installed.

When the app is not installed, I use setTimeout function setting window.location = marketurl , it will open market, and it works fine on Android Browser , but it doesn't work on chrome 25+ .

I only see an error message in my browser. What should I do?

I believe there are some new changes to the functionality in Chrome for Android v. 25 and later. You may need to implement Intent. This is created to prevent unsafe app open from the browser.

Here is one example from Google Chrome for developers that will open the Zxing barcode scanner app.

<a href="intent://scan/#Intent;scheme=zxing;package=com.google.zxing.client.android;end"> Take a QR code </a>

Reference: https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/intents

It is no longer possible to launch an Android app by setting an iframe's src attribute. For example, navigating an iframe to a URI with a custom scheme such as paulsawesomeapp:// will not work even if the user has the appropriate app installed. Instead, you should implement a user gesture to launch the app via a custom scheme, or use the “intent:” syntax described in this article.
