Android App not opening using AppLinks

Question

I am working on adding meta properties to my page as introduce in applinks.org, however my app is not responding to the web url, here is the html source:

<html>
<head>
    <meta property="al:android:url" content="applink://url" />
    <meta property="al:android:package" content="com.applink.sample" />
    <meta property="al:android:app_name" content="Sample" />
</head>
<body>
Hello!!
</body>
</html>

And this is the intent filter I'm having:

<activity
            android:name=".play.StartAppLinkActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="ANDROID.INTENT.CATEGORY.BROWSABLE"/>

                <data android:scheme="applink"
                    android:host="url"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

where are you clicking the url from? – Ming Li Aug 14 '15 at 04:52 — Ming Li, Aug 14 '15 at 04:52

<category android:name="ANDROID.INTENT.CATEGORY.BROWSABLE"/> should be changed to <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>. Manifest is case sensitive.
