Open Twitter URL with app, instead of browser

Question

I've got the following URL:

http://twitter.com/share?url=http://example.com"

When clicked on iOS and Android, it opens the browser window. What's the best way to open this with the app (if they have it installed)?

EDIT:

I've changed the URL to

https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=example

But it still opens in the browser (I have the app installed). Does this require JavaScript or anything else to work?

Have you done it with an Intent? – Typeset

Answer 1

You would use intents, as in How can I open a URL in Android's web browser from my application?

If the app is available the user gets to decide if the app should handle twitter URIs.

Answer 2

I copy the URL and paste it into the Twitter app search field. It works; if it doesn't, remove "mobile" from the URL (as in https://mobile.twitter.com)
