Moodle App custom url

Moodle App custom url

Hello everyone!

I am trying to create my own custom Moodle app following the steps from: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Setting_up_your_development_environment_for_Moodle_Mobile_2#Install_a_browser_for_development

I have already cloned the app from https://github.com/moodlehq/moodleapp and I could make it work on the browser.

The only problem I have is that  the Moodle App doesn't open my url automatically. Moodle App asks me to insert the url:



I edited the /package.json and /config.xml files and specified there my custom URL_SCHEME following this format: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Open_the_Moodle_app_from_another_app

This is what I added in the config.xml:   

<variable name="URL_SCHEME" value="moodlemobile://https://workplace.factoriadigitalpremium.es" />
package.json:
  "cordova-plugin-customurlscheme": {
        "URL_SCHEME": "moodlemobile://https://workplace.factoriadigitalpremium.es"
      },

Web services for mobile devices are enabled in my site.

I tried adding the URL_SCHEME in my site too, but there is an error saying the value is not valid:


I'm not sure if the format is correct of if there is any step I'm missing.
I've been looking in the forum and Moodle Documents but I couldn't find any further information or solution.

Thanks in advance.

Magalí

HI Magalí,

Probably you are running into similar issue that I faced. Problem and a probable solution is mentioned here - https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=397279

For initial testing you may leave URL scheme blank on server side.

These intent-filters should be added under application/activity tag as shown below-

    <application . . .>
        <activity . . .>
            <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="URL_SCHEME" />
            </intent-filter>
            <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:host=" " android:pathPrefix="/" android:scheme=" " />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
See if you are adding intent-filters at right place.

Vinod

I don't have the AndroidManifest.xml file, so I created one adding the code.
Does this file require more code than just the one you posted above?
Thank you very much for your help.

If you are using ionic/cordova to build the app then AndroidManifest.xml can be found under "platforms/android/app/src/main/" folder.

Hello Vinod,
That worked!! Thank you very much for your help!
In my case I had the code in AndroidManifest.xml, but I had to change the url scheme in
   <data android:scheme="URL_SCHEME" />
Once again, thank you very much!

No.

It's not working.

Should I add both the <intent-filter>s or only one of them?

getting a blank screen while loading the app.
