How to make html to android app launch hyperlink?

Question

I'm new in Android development. I don't know how to create android app launch hyperlink and embed it into HTML page. My scenario is when anyone click on this link android app will automatically launch, (app will be pre installed into the device.)

Here is the manifest code:

You'll need to add some codes inside the Manifest. Since those above codes is the decompiled manifest, I think you'll have to get access to the project of that application then recompile it with new manifest. Also, Check this; http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3469908/make-a-link-in-the-android-browser-start-up-my-app — ʍѳђઽ૯ท, Jan 04 '17 at 14:42

Or another option is;

After you found the application packagename, If the application is in the Store you can link it to the application link to Store then if it is already installed, User can hit on the 'Open' button.

So link it to:

market://search?q=pname:<package_name>

Or:

http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:<package_name>
