Android Instant App: Showinstallprompt's Postinstallintent Does Nothing?

The app in the play store currently is configured to handle https://www.example.com/hello/in an intent filter to launch an activity and showInstallPrompt(...) is supposed to launch

Solution 1:

Please have a look at: https://github.com/googlesamples/android-instant-apps/tree/master/install-api and https://github.com/googlesamples/android-instant-apps/blob/master/install-api/features/install/src/main/java/com/instantappsamples/feature/install/InstallApiActivity.kt

• This sample app demonstrates how to use the Install API. The API triggers the Intent to install the app on device.
• The call also accepts the Intent, which is triggered after the installation is complete.
• The sample also shows the correct structure to implement showInstallPrompt method along with postInstallIntent.

Refer the sample code snippet:

privateval postInstallIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
        Uri.parse("https://install-api.instantappsample.com/")).
        addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE).
        putExtras(Bundle().apply {
            putString("The key to", "sending data via intent")
        })

overridefunonCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_install)

    val isInstantApp = InstantApps.isInstantApp(this)

    findViewById<Button>(R.id.start_installation).apply {
        isEnabled = isInstantApp
        // Show the installation prompt only for an instant app.if (isInstantApp) {
            setOnClickListener {
                InstantApps.showInstallPrompt(this@InstallApiActivity,
                        postInstallIntent,
                        REQUEST_CODE,
                        REFERRER)
            } }
    } }
