Launching an App from a URL

Issue

I am attempting to get the Android application chooser to launch when a specific URL is clicked from within a registration e-mail. I have already looked at the below question and several others but I am still having no luck with this.

Launching Android Application from link or email

I have created my intent in the AndroidManifest.xml file as below (I've placed my website address where you see ".website.org"):

 <activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize">
                <intent-filter>
                    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                </intent-filter>
                <intent-filter>
                    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
                    <data android:scheme="https"
                        android:host="*.website.org"
                        android:path="/" />
                </intent-filter>
  </activity>

Is anyone able to assist me with what else I may be missing, as this is currently not launching anything and it's just loading the link directly in the default web browser?

Solution

Thanks for your replies. In the end I had to change my intent to the below and it had the desired result. When I click the URL specified in my intent the application chooser pops up allowing me to load the link in my app.

Just as info for anyone struggling as I did, you do not need to read data from incoming intents for the application chooser to launch, all you need is the below in your AndroidManifest file.

<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
                    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
                    <data   android:scheme="http" />
                    <data   android:scheme="https" />
                    <data android:host=".website.com" />
</intent-filter>

Thanks All.
