Launch Android application from browser

Question

I have a little problem.

I have an Android Activity, and I want to run it from one link on the browser.

This is what how I have declared my Activity on the Manifest file:

<activity android:name=".Wul4"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
        android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
        android:launchMode="singleInstance"
        android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
            <data android:scheme="wul4" android:host="com.wul4.wul4"/>
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

On the webApp, the link to launch the application is the following one:

wul4://com.wul4.wul4?codOperacion="+respuestaActual.idOperacion

The point is that It is working from the following browsers: "Opera" and "Google Chrome", but it is not working for the rest..........(for instance, it is not working on the default browser of the phone).

Anyone knows why???

Thanks a lot!

Try this one, using HTTP instead of your own schema:

<intent-filter>
  <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />

  <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />

  <data
    android:host="com.wul4.wul4"
    android:scheme="http:" />
</intent-filter>

When a link with this domain is clicked in an Android device, the user is presented with a dialog to choose between your App (if installed) or the Browser.
