godot-applinks

This is a simple Godot Android plugin that allows you to read the view intent URL of the main activity. Useful for e.g. opening deep links in your game.

Installation & Usage

1. Enable Android Custom Build for your project
2. Grab and extract the latest binary and plugin config from the releases tab into res://android/plugins/
3. In your Anndroid export settings, make sure the AppLinks plugin is enabled
4. Add a new Intent Filter to your res://android/build/AndroidManifest.xml, e.g.:

   <intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
       <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
       <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
       <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
   
       <data android:scheme="https"
             android:host="play.doodlepost.net"
             android:pathPattern="/.*" />
   </intent-filter>
   

Now you can get the Intent URL using the AppLinks singleton when your game starts:

if Engine.has_singleton('AppLinks'):
	var applinks = Engine.get_singleton('AppLinks')
	var app_url = applinks.getUrl()
	# Do something with app_url...

Also make sure you re-check the Intent URL when your app is resumed. Deep links will not work when the app is already running in the background otherwise.

func _notification(what):
	if what == NOTIFICATION_APP_RESUMED:
		check_app_link()

Compiling manually

3. Add the downloaded godot-lib.<version>.<target>.aar as an Android Library, see here
4. In Android Studio, click Build > Make Project
5. Once finished, you'll find the generated aar file in ./app/build/outputs/aar
