Open external App from React native App ( Button Click)

Issue

I want to open New React native App by clicking on Button in which I have used

Linking Concepts in React native

React native Code : Test is the name of the Other App

Linking.openURL('Test://app');

Also following URL for adding Intent in the android.manifest.xml file Andriod Intent

Code : Android.manifestfile.xml

  <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:launchMode="singleTask"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
        <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="com.Test" />
              <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
              <data android:scheme="Test" android:host="app" />
          </intent-filter>
      </activity>

How can I resolve the issue?

Solution

Add this code in your AndroidManifest.xml file parallel to current intent filter

 <intent-filter android:label="@string/app_name">
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
        <!-- Accepts URIs that begin with "example://gizmos” -->
        <data android:scheme="app"
              android:host="testApp" />
    </intent-filter> 

and run this command React-native run-android

Add below code to your react-native file.

<Button title="Click me" onPress={ ()=>{ Linking.openURL('app://testApp')}} />

for save the time . You can to both code in same application and same application will be open on button press

i just try this code and its working for me let me know if still facing issue (Y)
