Android Deeplink pathPrefix Attribute Is Being Ignored
android,uri,android-manifest,intentfilter,deep-linking
Apparently, an empty android:pathPrefix attribute in some other data tags will cause specific data tag (the last data tag in above question) to ignore its own pathPrefix even though it is well defined! So this manifest declaration fixes the last data tag to behave normally: <activity android:name="com.example.DeeplinkActivity" android:screenOrientation="portrait" android:theme="@style/MyBaseTheme.NoActionBar"> <intent-filter>...
