Instant App Crash When Click on Try Now button

Question

When I test instant app it works properly but after uploading on Play Store when I click on "Try Now button" app crash.

Here is my code when I click on Try Now button:

package com.journaldev.androidinstantapps.feature;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class ActivitySplash extends Activity {


        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.splashfeature);


            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://quickeselling.com/splash"));
            intent.setPackage(getPackageName());
            intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    }

In manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.journaldev.androidinstantapps.feature">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />

            </intent-filter>

            <meta-data
                android:name="default-url"
                android:value="https://quickeselling.com/preview" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />

                <data
                    android:host="quickeselling.com"
                    android:pathPrefix="/preview"
                    android:scheme="http" />
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter
                android:autoVerify="true"
                android:order="1">
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />

                <data
                    android:host="quickeselling.com"
                    android:pathPrefix="/preview"
                    android:scheme="https" />
            </intent-filter>

        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

In URL mapping I have opened my main app through URL from splash. Here is the URL mapping image.

I tried a lot but din't know what's wrong. Please help me to solve this issue. Here is the crash log:

Answer 1

Clicking try now works and your ActivitySplash is launched. As you can see from the stacktrace, the crash happens from the second intent you launch yourself within onCreate. The problem is that you're specifying package on the intent

intent.setPackage(getPackageName());

Since your application isn't installed, Android won't find anything to match this intent. If the Activity you want to launch is in the same module, convert this intent to an explicit one by specifying the Activity class. Otherwise, remove setPackage, then Android will load the feature module handling that link and show it to the user (or open that URL in browser, if it can't find a matching feature module)

By the way, if you want to support both HTTP and HTTPS in intent-filters, you don't need to write the intent-filter twice. Just add

<data android:scheme="https" />

to the existing HTTP intent-filter, and both schemes will match your Activity.

Answer 2

The URL you are trying to launch from your instant app's ActivitySplash: https://quickeselling.com/splash is not supported in your instant app (at least not from the feature manifests you have shown). The feature manifest you have provided only supports /preview.

So yes, the exception is correct, no activity will be found to handle this intent/URL.

Now, you've got a screenshot that shows your com.android.application module supporting the /splash URL. However, your application module is not installed as part of the instant app, it only gets installed when the user installs the full app.

Nothing from the application module can be accessed from the instant modules during its state as an instant app, if you were thinking otherwise.

You will have to move the activity that supports /splash to one of your feature modules for this to work.

This will help you understand a bit about the structure of instant apps: What dependencies should one be putting in each module of an instant app?

note: there should have been no way for this to work when you were developing from studio, unless you were unknowingly running it as an installed app instead of an instant app (which looks to be the case, from that screenshot, showing app as the selected run build).
