深度链接时奇怪的Android Intent-Filter pathPattern问题

Question

I want to create deeplinks for these two http urls

https://sample-app-123.appspot.com/backoffice/#/user_reset_password?email=abc@gmail.com https://sample-app-123.appspot.com/backoffice/#/user_create_password?email=abc@gmail.com

I have gone through various StackOverflow answers, none of them worked. I got to know PatternMatcher.PATTERN_SIMPLE_GLOB is used by Android for matching pattern instead of regex expressions.

My manifest looks like

<activity android:name=".CreateActivity"
    android:label="Create Password"
    >
    <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.VIEW"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>
    <data
        android:host="sample-app-123.appspot.com"
        android:scheme="https"
        android:pathPattern=".*create_password.*"
        />
    </intent-filter>

</activity>
<activity android:name=".ResetActivity"
    android:label="Reset Password"
    >
    <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.VIEW"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>
    <data
        android:host="sample-app-123.appspot.com"
        android:scheme="https"
        android:pathPattern=".*reset_password.*"
        />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

I have created several tests for checking PatternMatcher.PATTERN_SIMPLE_GLOB , All tests are PASSED, i am clueless why its not working

public void testPatternMatcher() throws Exception {
    PatternMatcher mPatternMatcher;

    mPatternMatcher = new PatternMatcher("https://sample-app-123.appspot.com/backoffice\\/#\\/user_create_password.*", PatternMatcher.PATTERN_SIMPLE_GLOB);
    assertTrue(mPatternMatcher.match("https://sample-app-123.appspot.com/backoffice/#/user_create_password?email=abc@gmail.com"));
    assertFalse(mPatternMatcher.match("https://sample-app-123.appspot.com/backoffice/#/user_reset_password?email=abc@gmail.com"));

    mPatternMatcher = new PatternMatcher(".*user_create_password.*", PatternMatcher.PATTERN_SIMPLE_GLOB);
    assertTrue(mPatternMatcher.match("https://sample-app-123.appspot.com/backoffice/#/user_create_password?email=abc@gmail.com"));
    assertFalse(mPatternMatcher.match("https://sample-app-123.appspot.com/backoffice/#/user_reset_password?email=abc@gmail.com"));

    mPatternMatcher = new PatternMatcher(".*user_reset_password.*", PatternMatcher.PATTERN_SIMPLE_GLOB);
    assertFalse(mPatternMatcher.match("/backoffice/#/user_create_password?email=abc@gmail.com"));
    assertTrue(mPatternMatcher.match("/backoffice/#/user_reset_password?email=abc@gmail.com"));
}

Answer 1

create_password or reset_password are not part of the uri path.
The uri path ends just before the # character. This is a special character that delimits the query from the hash (or anchor).

scheme: https://
host: sample-app-123.appspot.com
path: /backoffice/
fragment #/user_reset_password?email=abc@gmail.com

You should instead use url like:

https://sample-app-123.appspot.com/backoffice/user_reset_password?email=abc@gmail.com
https://sample-app-123.appspot.com/backoffice/user_create_password?email=abc@gmail.com

This will work as expected.

scheme: https://
host: sample-app-123.appspot.com
path: /backoffice/user_create_password
query: email=abc@gmail.com
