55.7 Modifying the MyWebView Project Manifest File

The example in the book omits the android:host and BROWSABLE declarations in the manifest file of MyWebView project. The declaration should read as follows:

<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
    <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="https" android:host="www.ebookfrenzy.com"/>
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

This declaration can also be configured to use wildcards so that it will work with all URLs. For example:

<data android:scheme="https" android:host="*"/>
