<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
  <intent-filter>
      <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 "myscheme://" -->
      <data android:scheme="myscheme" />
      <data android:pathPattern="/.*"></data>
  </intent-filter>
</activity>

I have added the above code in the manifest.xml and am trying to open myscheme from the emulator's browser.

What am I doing wrong?

Can you explain how did you tried it ? – Bertram Gilfoyle Apr 21 '17 at 09:39
Opened the browser from the emulator. Typed `myscheme` or `myscheme://`. Expected the app to open. – esh Apr 21 '17 at 09:50
I don't think chrome will open external apps like this even it you did it correctly. See [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42840518/open-my-app-from-url-scheme-in-android) – Bertram Gilfoyle Apr 21 '17 at 09:58
