Greetings Marc, It works fine when I run your application and click on the link on the commons ware sample page.
The problem becomes more subtle, when you post this link to face book and users pressing that link from the mobile browser will not show you application as part of intent chooser. Think that I have posted a link on to facebook like "please click the link http://www.this-so-does-not-exist.com";. Open facebook from mobile android browser ( not from native application) and click the link in published post. The android does not show intent choser and redirects to http://www.this-so-does-not-exist.com"; and results in web page not found. why this works different, in different scenarios. please enlighten me.
