example of how to deep link into a flutter app?

[Seth Ladd]

Hi,

Does anyone have an example of how to "deep link" into a Flutter app, into a specific screen/view?

For example, a customer is asking "We need a URL that will 1) take the user to a specific part in our app (a chat, for example) if they have the app installed or 2) take a user to the device specific app store and then do 1) after they install the app."

If you have thoughts on how to do this, or better yet: example code, any pointers would be really appreciated.

Thank you!

Seth

I'd love to see this in action too, so that my Firebase Cloud Messages can go directly to a specific route.

I don't know if there is a way to do this directly in Flutter these days but it was very straightforward to

setup using platform messages (just receive messages using the native code (Intents in java IIRC)

and setup a method channel that tells Flutter to navigate to some route).

You should relay the url path into the Flutter framework using FlutterView.setInitialRoute, not by using custom platform messages (the latter are communicated asynchronously, and you need the initial route at hand to your Dart code before it renders its first frame).

On the Dart side, the String you give to setInitialRoute is made available as Window.defaultRouteName, which most apps shouldn't need to access directly, as it is already being used by MaterialApp and Navigator.

There is an older Android example here. The Dart part of it uses an older version of the MaterialApp/Navigator API. We're working on updating it to the latest version.

When you say "older" you mean "doesn't work anymore" or "still works but there is a better way" ?

It most likely doesn't work anymore. The Navigation API changed quite a lot with #10894.

I believe Michael is looking at updating the example, and turning it into a real doc asset.
