That's a "scheme", not a "schema". A schema is a description of a database layout (table structures, etc.). > It works fine if I put that schema in a webpage as a > link, but if I send an email with that link (even if an html email) > the gmail client does not linkify the url making it so the user cannot > click the link to open the application.

The user will need to agree to launch it in your app, though they can set that as the default and not have to be prompted every time. Then, the URL will work from wherever. As an extra bonus, you can use this in real Web pages -- have the URL bring up some Web page on your site that leads them to download the app, so those who have not downloaded the app will still get useful results from the link. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 3.0 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
