Android intent filter?

[schmich]

Hi,

I am writing a Starcraft 2 news aggregation app for Android as a
complement to sc2daily.com. I noticed that Twitch recently came out
with an Android app (congrats!), but unfortunately, there seems to be
some integration missing.

My app has links to live Twitch streams (e.g. http://twitch.tv/eg_idra),
but even with the Twitch app installed, these links are only handled
by the Android browser. I expected the Twitch app to behave more like
the official Twitter app in that links to Tweets/users are handled by
the Twitter app itself through its intent filters. I've tried using a
number of different URLs, but none of them are handled by any Twitch
intents. (see also https://dev.twitter.com/docs/intents)

In general, I'm looking to provide better integration with Twitch on
Android than just directing the user to the video popout URL in the
browser.

- Is there any plan to add support for Android intent filters a la
Twitter, YouTube?
- I noticed through logcat that Twitch does have an intent with extras
(TwitchPlayerActivity); is there any documentation for this? Can you
provide any info on this?
- Do Twitch.tv streams have RTMP URLs that could be used to stream
more natively in Android?
- Any other recommendations for providing a better native experience
on Android?

It's great to see the support for Android. Thanks for your help!

I am working on a somewhat similar app for League of Legends and would
love to be able to launch an Intent into the Twitch.tv app. And as
said before, it is really nice to see a Twitch tv app on android, such
an awesome service!

I'm also working on a similar app and having intents into the app would be awesome.

Hi, I'm taking this conversation over to the twitch mailing list - http://link.twitch.tv/devlist

I'm also going to loop in our Android dev in to get a sense of how much work this is (our android app isn't actively maintained).

We're not doing anything on this any time soon, sorry!
