Public Methods
public Bitmap
getApplicationIcon
()
Returns the application icon for the instant app.
Returns
- the application icon for the instant app if one exists for the URL. Otherwise,
null
.
public String
getApplicationLabel
()
Returns the label for the instant app.
Returns
- the label for the instant app if one exists for the URL. Otherwise,
null
.
public Intent
getIntent
()
Returns the Intent
to
launch the instant app.
The caller should add the Intent.EXTRA_REFERRER
extra to the returned instant app Intent, with the Uri
of the referrer
web page, if available, respecting its referrer policy. If the referrer value
originates within or is validated by the caller then Launcher.EXTRA_IS_REFERRER_TRUSTED
extra may be set true.
For clicks within the caller, the Launcher.EXTRA_TRUSTED_REFERRER_PKG
should be set to the package name of the
caller. In other cases, this extra should be set only if the caller can validate the
package name of the originator of the launch.
Extras to be set in the returned intent, as appropriate, by the caller are Intent.EXTRA_REFERRER
, Launcher.EXTRA_TRUSTED_REFERRER_PKG
, Launcher.EXTRA_IS_REFERRER_TRUSTED
, Launcher.EXTRA_IS_USER_CONFIRMED_LAUNCH
, Browser.EXTRA_APPLICATION_ID
, android.nfc.NfcAdapter#EXTRA_NDEF_MESSAGES
, android.nfc.NfcAdapter#EXTRA_TAG
, and android.nfc.NfcAdapter#EXTRA_ID
.
Returns
- the
Intent
to
launch the instant app if one exists for the URL. Otherwise, null
.
public String
getPackageName
()
Returns the package name of the instant app.
Returns
