Android Deep Linking ESP 2.0

Vue d'ensemble

The provided code aims to regulate the functionality of wrapped links within an email campaign, specifically addressing two types: Weblinks, intended to open a website, and links designed to open the app through a universal link or App link.

Flow description

  1. Put of your support ESP domains in a constant list. We will refer to this below
   public static final String[] ESP_DOMAINS = {
            "click.example.com",
            "email.example.com"
    };
  1. Inform the SDK to resolve the ESP domains
AppsFlyerLib appsflyer = AppsFlyerLib.getInstance();
appsflyer.setResolveDeepLinkURLs(ESP_DOMAINS);
  1. Dans la section onDeepLinking callback check if original_link appears in the returned clickEvent
@Override
public void onDeepLinking(@NonNull DeepLinkResult deepLinkResult) {
    DeepLink deepLinkObj = deepLinkResult.getDeepLink();

    if (deepLinkObj.isDeferred()) {
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, "This is a deferred deep link");
    } else {
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, "This is a direct deep link");

        // The following `try` is the entry point to the ESP resolution flow
        // The `try` checks if the DeepLink object includes an `original_link` field
        try {
                Uri espUri = Uri.parse(deepLinkObj.getClickEvent().getString("original_link"));
                Log.d(LOG_TAG, "This is a resolved ESP flow");

            // ... More code here in the next stages

        } catch (JSONException e) {
            Log.d(LOG_TAG, "original_link was NOT found in deeplink data. This is a normal flow.");
        }
    }
  1. Check if the host of the original_link matches of ESP domains you declared in ESP_DOMAINS (see step #1)
    // Extract the host
    String espHost = espUri.getHost();
    Log.d(LOG_TAG, "ESP host found: " + espHost);

    // The method `testDomainInEspDomains` checks if the host part of `original_link`
    // matches one the ESP domains assigned to `setResolveDeepLinkURLs`.
    // This means this is ESP link wraps another link
    if (testDomainInEspDomains(espHost)) {
    Log.d(LOG_TAG, "The ESP domain matches");

    // ... More code here in the next stages 
        
    } else {
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, "The ESP domain found doesn't match the domain we wish to resolve");
    }}


// Implement this method in your class
private static boolean testDomainInEspDomains(String testDomain) {
    for (String element : ESP_DOMAINS) {
        if (testDomain.equals(element)) {
            return true; // String matches an element in the array
        }
    }
    return false; // String doesn't match any element in the array
}
  1. Check if the wrapped link is a OneLink link. If it is, the deep link flow will continue as usual.
    If not, link will be open in the default browser.
    String espLink = deepLinkObj.getClickEvent().optString("link");
    // The following `if` checks if the wrapped link should continue deep link or open the link in a browser.
    // If the wrapped link ends with ".onelink.me" it is obviously a OneLink and will contine the Deep Link flow.
    // The first condition is a workaround to the unlikely case AF link resolving server are down.
    if (espUri.toString().equals(espLink) ||
        Uri.parse(espLink).getHost().endsWith(".onelink.me")) {
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, "The ESP link is a OneLink link. Deep link continues normally");
    } else {
        // The wrapped link is a link meant to be opened in the default web browser
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, "The ESP link is NOT a OneLink link. It will be opened in a browser");
        openUrlInBrowser(espLink);
        return;
    }
