Accepted answer didn't work out fine for me, all i needed to do was check if the link was for a user's profile and not a blog post, so i can redirect to my ProfileActivity instead.
private void generateDynamicLink() {
//build link normally and add queries like a normal href link would
String permLink = getLink() + "?route=profile&name=" + getProfileName()
+ "&category=" + getUserPracticeCategory()
+ "&picture=" + getProfilePicture();
FirebaseDynamicLinks.getInstance().createDynamicLink()
.setLink(Uri.parse(permLink))
.setDynamicLinkDomain(Constants.DYNAMIC_LINK_DOMAIN)
.setAndroidParameters(new
DynamicLink.AndroidParameters.Builder().build())
.setSocialMetaTagParameters(
new DynamicLink.SocialMetaTagParameters.Builder()
.setTitle("Enter Title")
.setDescription("Enter Desc here")
.setImageUrl(Uri.parse(getProfilePicture()))
.build())
.buildShortDynamicLink()
.addOnCompleteListener(this, task -> {
if (task.isSuccessful()) {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,task.getResult().getShortLink());
intent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(intent);
} else {
Utils.snackBar(tvAddress, "Failed to Generate Profile Link, Try
Again");
}
});
}
and when a user navigates into my app using the generated link, it goes to a post detail activity, because i made that activity the only browsable activity in my manifest. i then have to use the route query to determine if the incoming link is a blog post or a shared user profile.
private void retrieveDynamicLink() {
FirebaseDynamicLinks.getInstance().getDynamicLink(getIntent())
.addOnSuccessListener(this, pendingDynamicLinkData -> {
if (pendingDynamicLinkData == null) {
retrieveLocalIntent();
} else {
Toast.makeText(context, "Resolving Link, Please Wait...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
if (pendingDynamicLinkData.getLink().getQueryParameter("route") != null) {
if (Objects.requireNonNull(pendingDynamicLinkData.getLink().getQueryParameter("route")).equalsIgnoreCase("profile")) {
try {
Uri uri = pendingDynamicLinkData.getLink();
String permLink = uri.toString().split("\\?")[0];
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ProfileActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(ProfileActivity.PROFILE_NAME, uri.getQueryParameter("name"));
intent.putExtra(ProfileActivity.PROFILE_CATEGORY, uri.getQueryParameter("category"));
intent.putExtra(ProfileActivity.PROFILE_PICTURE, uri.getQueryParameter("picture"));
intent.putExtra(Utils.POST_PERMLINK, permLink);
startActivity(intent);
this.finish();
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Unable to View User Profile", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
} else {
postHrefLink = pendingDynamicLinkData.getLink().toString();
getPostDetail.getData(postHrefLink);
}
}
})
.addOnFailureListener(this, e ->
retrieveLocalIntent()
);
}
Hope this helps.
