Deeplink to open Kodi (at startup or from other applications)



In Android version, we cannot open the application from a deeplink : deeplinks are used to open a given application from a predefined link format, which can be useful if we want to open the application at startup or from another application.
By adding this code in the manifest, one could open Kodi by using URL starting with “kodi://”.
This deeplink could then be extended to open Kodi directly in different sections (videos, music…)

xml:
<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/> <data androidConfusedcheme="kodi"/> </intent-filter>

A concrete use case in my situation : using Kodi from Android TV, I have one button assigned on my connected remote (like Logitech Harmony) for each application (Netflix, Prime…) and Kodi is missing.

Thanks
