How to compose a deeplink with parameters programmatically ?

[OleksandrKucherenko]

Hi,

will be great to introduce API that allows to compose deeplink with parameters programmatically...

1. compose deeplink (pseudo code):

        return Uri.parse(MainActivity.DEEPLINK_SHOW_ON_MAP)
                .buildUpon()
                .clearQuery()
                .appendQueryParameter("lat", String.valueOf(latLng.latitude))
                .appendQueryParameter("lon", String.valueOf(latLng.longitude))
                .build();

2. trigger deeplink:

    /** Trigger deeplink resolving over the deep link handler activity. */
    @MainThread
    public static boolean trigger(@NonNull final Context context, @NonNull final Uri deeplink) {
        final Intent intentLink = new Intent(context, DeepLinkingActivity.class)
                .setData(deeplink);

        context.startActivity(intentLink);

        return true;
    }

+1 Is necessary for my project too, we have deeplink internally when you click some button

Deep links are just regular Intents with the right Uri data. You can build them yourself, not sure it's worth implementing an API for this.
Just so I understand, do you want to have a builder that will correctly generate the "http://foo.bar/{var1}/{var2}" interpolations so you dont have to do it yourself?

in short: YES. needed builder that recognize parameters in path and query. Maybe even recognize optional and required parameters.
