I'm considering developing a web-based resource for our sales reps to use on their tablets. Among other information, I'd like to include links that would launch other applications on the tablet. For example, a link to the Google Drive app, (maybe even to a specific folder). Or maybe a link to the Android Gallery. Is this possible?

  • what have you tested and how? – joergl Nov 12 '12 at 17:49
  • So far I have created the following test page: http://67.199.95.69/mobile/default.asp# – acrossTU Nov 14 '12 at 19:16
  • My intention is to simply save this as a shortcut on the sales teams tablets, set to launch in either Dolphin or Chrome. When the user clicks on the PDF link, for example, I would like to launch the Drive App rather than just accessing Drive via the browser. – acrossTU Nov 14 '12 at 19:19

Yes you can, you have to use an intent filter and a custom scheme for the url.

  • I saw this, but perhaps there's something I'm missing. Adding an has to be done in the AndroidManifest.xml file of the app, correct? So if I am accessing this mobile resource through the Chrome browser on my tablet, does that mean I need to access Chrome's AndroidManifest.xml file and add the there? – acrossTU Nov 14 '12 at 19:13
