Deeplinking problem

[Silviu]

Hello,

I have a problem with the deeplinking between my website (http://www.nobelcom.com) and my app (nobelapp). When I search the app from the mobile, on Google, it sends me to the play store, even if the app is instaled.

Can someone explain what I need to do on the website, and what i need to do on the mobile app so the deeplinking will work, in an easier way the Google documentation?

I have on the homepage this rel alternate but still doesn't work.

Thanks,

Hi Florin,

It's a bit difficult to say, because this is a big topic, and there are many things you have to do in order to get the links working.

You're doing the right thing on the website – your links are correctly formatted – so you need to focus your attention on the app. There are no independent guides I can recommend you, because the specification changes quite often, so you really need to work through this page and ensure that your app has followed all of the guidelines.

Secondly, if you haven't already got Android Studio you should install it, and then test the links in there. You'll get more detailed error messages on specifically why a link might not be working. Android Studio's link testing tool is described here. Even if you still aren't entirely clear what the problem is, you'll at least have a specific error message from Android Studio. You can then post the error message to a programming Q&A site like Stack Overflow, where you're more likely to get specific advice that'll help you solve that error.
