             Summary: Custom URLs not supported since Cordova 3.0
                 Key: CB-5446
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5446
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Android
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
         Environment: Any Android device! Tested on Nexus S (2.3.6), Nexus 4 (4.3), Samsung Galaxy S (2.3.3), HTC One X (4.1.2)
            Reporter: Steve


When I add a custom URL in my html page, for example:
<a href="myapp://test/testing.html">Link that opens another Android app</a>

If I click on the link, I am getting an error "Application Error" with the content:
"The protocol isn't supported. (myapp://test/testing.html)"

This issue does not exist in Cordova 2.x. You can try this by cloning the following github repo (https://github.com/Icenium/sample-custom-url-scheme) and install the app on your Android device. Then from another Android app, create a hyperlink that uses the custom URL scheme that the first app listens to e.g. "myapp://". 

Note: The sample app uses WebIntent plugin. The plugin itself works fine with Cordova 3.0 and can be downloaded from https://github.com/Initsogar/cordova-webintent.

P.S. I saw similar problem in this Jira issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3902. The fix to hardcode market:// seems to avoid fixing this GENERAL problem.
