How to handle an Action View Intent inside my own app

Question

Sorry if this should already have been asked, but Google didn't give me anything of that sort.

I would like to extend the capabilities of an in-app browser of mine to handle also links from other apps, so I guess I would need to handle Action_View intents. But after having searched it, I didn't find any ways of getting the URL of such an intent nor any other information on how to procede.

Might anyone help me here? Thank you!

@Rasi No, what I would like to do is that other apps can open which ever web site in the app, making it a web browser for all apps:) — Florent Anders, Apr 06 '17 at 18:25
you can't force any App to get open in your App, but with the help of intent filters you can make your App eligible to handle Urls. — Rahul, Apr 06 '17 at 18:26
@Rasi I don't want to force any apps. I would like to make it eligible. Could you show me how?:) — Florent Anders, Apr 06 '17 at 18:28

This combined with code of the Lightning browser in the Android manifest found my solution. Thanks!
