By default, when a user taps on any hyperlink available in the UsercentricsUI banner, the given URL will be opened in a browser.
If you wish to customize this behavior, and capture these hyperlinks, you may leverage the already existing deep link mechanism from iOS and Android, to capture hyperlinks.
Define deep links
Define a deep link scheme for the links you will be catching, and provide the URL/s in the Usercentrics Admin Interface - Content page - First layer and Links sections.
Capture deep links
Configure Info.plist to listen a specific URL scheme
To capture deep links being clicked on your app, the first step is to configure Info.plist.
Catch deep links and provide custom implementation
Add a listener to AppDelegate.swift, and add the necessary logic for your custom implementation.
// On AppDelegate
func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool {
return handleUrl(url)
}
func handleUrl(_ url: URL) -> Bool {
if (url.scheme == "example" && url.host == "privacyPolicy") {
// Custom Implementation for Link
return true
}
return false
}Configure AndroidManifest.xml to listen a specific URL scheme
In order to capture deep links being triggered in your app, we should create an Activity on AndroidManifest.xml that will be responsible for receiving callbacks.
<activity android:name=".DeepLinkActivity">
<intent-filter android:label="deep link example">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data
android:host="privacyPolicy"
android:scheme="example" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>Catch deep links and provide custom implementation
On create, add the necessary logic for your custom implementation.
class DeepLinkActivity: AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
val data = intent?.data ?: return
if (data.scheme == "example" && data.host == "privacyPolicy") {
// Custom Implementation for Link
finish()
}
}
}
