How to Handle Deep Links with Dynamic Feature Modules in Android 14?
I'm maintaining legacy code that I'm having trouble with Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy..... I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm trying to implement deep links in my Android app that uses dynamic feature modules, but I'm running into issues when trying to navigate to a deep link that corresponds to a feature module that hasn't been downloaded yet. The app crashes with a `java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{...}: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class...`. I have set up the deep links in the manifest for both the base module and the dynamic feature module. Here’s a simplified version of my `AndroidManifest.xml` for the dynamic feature module: ```xml <activity android:name="com.example.feature.FeatureActivity" android:exported="true"> <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="https" android:host="www.example.com" android:path="/feature" /> </intent-filter> </activity> ``` I've also added the necessary dependencies for dynamic features in my `build.gradle` file. My app works fine when the feature module is already installed, but when I try to access the deep link before the feature module has been downloaded, it crashes. I've tried using `SplitInstallManager` to check if the module is installed before trying to launch the activity, but it seems like the question lies in how the intent is being handled. Here’s what I've tried: ```kotlin val splitInstallManager = SplitInstallManagerFactory.create(context) if (!splitInstallManager.installedModules.contains("feature")) { // Request installation val request = SplitInstallRequest.newBuilder() .addModule("feature") .build() splitInstallManager.startInstall(request) .addOnSuccessListener { /* handle success */ } .addOnFailureListener { /* handle failure */ } } else { // Launch the activity val intent = Intent(context, FeatureActivity::class.java) context.startActivity(intent) } ``` Is there a recommended way to handle deep links for dynamic feature modules? I feel like I'm missing something fundamental regarding the order of operations here, especially considering the need to ensure the module is downloaded first. Any guidance on best practices would be greatly appreciated! Am I missing something obvious? For context: I'm using Kotlin on Windows. Thanks in advance! The project is a service built with Kotlin. Any help would be greatly appreciated! The project is a REST API built with Kotlin. What am I doing wrong?
