I have learnt how to open an android app from a webpage by making the HTML elements href like:

" Take a QR code "

But I have used webpages that not only opens up the app, but also passes some value to a specific field in the apps activity. Eg: a web page that has a button, such that when clicked, opens up the compose mail activity in the Gmail app and fills the "to" input field with a specific email address. Can this be implemented? How can I go about this .Thanks in advance. Pardon me if I haven't asked this question properly.

Does this mean I need to have access to the apps program files to append this changes – Marvin Jude Jan 26 '17 at 14:04
It means that you can pass parameters to your apps. It's up to you to treat these parameters in your own app source code. – Raffael Bechara Rameh Jan 26 '17 at 15:49
