I know, I can do this with a AndroidManifest.xml file... but I do not have access to it!
Also, I could do it in Java... but I am not able to manipulate the target app.
I need something in HTML, Javascript or PHP that can accomplish what I need:
I have a website (mimmsy.com) and it contains Play buttons which launch a player on the desktop and should launch an app on a mobile device.
Things are great on everything except Android.
I am trying to launch the Netflix app (com.netflix.mediaclient)... anyone done this before? Is there even a way to do what I need? I found an example that uses an <a> link to send android intents to the phone, but it was limited in its explanation and so I was not able to customize it correctly for my situation (see HTML below)...
I can get the play.google.com store to load and perform a search for the netflix app, but I do not know how to pass the action I need in the intent URI.
Here is what I have so far:
href="intent://start/#Intent;scheme=netflix;package=com.netflix.mediaclient;action=title_activity_movie;end"> Launch Netflix Player App
Any insights or links to a beginner tutorial would be HUGELY appreciated.
UPDATE: I understand that the app needs to allow itself to be launched. I am really hoping someone else has accomplished this in the way I need to and can tell me how they did it. I am a Netflix developer, but they are not exactly forethcoming with the docs.
