Custom URL Scheme not launching the android application

Question

I have implemented the code for the URL Scheme as shown below in manifest.xml. this code is not working for any browser.

<activity
        android:name=".Event"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|stateAlwaysVisible" >
        <intent-filter >
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
            <data android:scheme="http" android:host="xyz" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

The below code is working only for default browser.

<activity
        android:name=".Event"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|stateAlwaysVisible" >
        <intent-filter >
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
            <data android:scheme="xyz"  />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

so, please give me the solution to work custom URL Scheme with any browser or what i have to change in above code for this problem.

Are you sure it is not the other way around. the first code works, the second doesnt? Refer to my question stackoverflow.com/q/13042278/1503155 , I think we have the same problem. — Lazy Ninja

To first code: adding android:pathPattern=".*" should fix it for http scheme.

To second code: for Chrome you have to use intent: syntax. Chrome does not listen to custom schemes (any more).
