Public Methods

public Intent getIntent ()

Retrieve the Activity Intent used to start the instant app. Returns null if an instant app does not exist for the URL or if instant apps are disabled. A non-null return value does not guarantee existence of an instant app for the URL.

The caller should add the Intent.EXTRA_REFERRER extra to the Intent, with the Uri of the referrer web page, if available, respecting its referrer policy. If the referrer value originates within or is validated by the caller then Launcher.EXTRA_IS_REFERRER_TRUSTED extra may be set true.

For clicks within the caller, the Launcher.EXTRA_TRUSTED_REFERRER_PKG should be set to the package name of the caller. In other cases, this extra should be set only if the caller can validate the package name of the originator of the launch.

Returns
  • the Intent to attempt the start of an instant app or null if an instant app can't be run for this URL.

public int getMatchResult ()

Returns the result for the match attempt of the given URL.

public String getPackageName ()

Returns the package name of the instant app if one exists for the URL. Otherwise, null.
