Does Collector for ArcGIS support deeplinking? (iOS, Android, Windows)

RayMangan2 — Wed, 21 Sep 2016 19:58:50 GMT

I'd like to generate a url that when clicked launches the Collector app on a users device. I'm having trouble finding what the "scheme name" is for Collector.

Examples:

MobileDeepLinking.org

Here are a few examples of deeplinks for popular apps on iOS:

Developer	Deeplink – e.g.	Purpose
Twitter	twitter://timeline	Opens the Twitter app and links to the user’s timeline
Facebook	fb://profile	Opens the Facebook app and links to the user’s profile
Yelp	yelp://	Opens the Yelp app (note: this example does not include any routing parameters)

Hi! Please take a look at our Collector integration GitHub: GitHub - Esri/collector-integration

This is currently supported on iOS and Windows, and coming soon to Android.

Great stuff! I just made a very small filemaker solution and can open collector from it.

Deeplinking appears to no longer work in iOS 10. At least not for me

Has anyone else experienced this?

I wasn't using deeplinks before I upgraded to iOS 10 so I don't have a reference point. My links are launching the app, but I haven't been able to get them to open a specific map in collector. Curious if this is what you're experiencing?

Nothing happens, that's the thing.

When I tap the deep link in the map popup, it doesn't load the app I want (e.g., ArcGIS-survey123://).

If I paste the deeplink URL in Safari, the app opens.

could be an issue with the URL scheme & survey 123. I'm using Collector so my urls start with "arcgis-collector://". Can't find documentation for survey 123 but maybe try all lowercase?

This turned out to be a bug in iOS 10. Esri entered into the bug database, I don't know what the resolution schedule is.

@hart.rmangan3 The issue with deep-links in Collector iOS has been fixed in 10.4.2, which is now available in the iTunes store. For details on how to integrate Collector for ArcGIS with Survey123 for ArcGIS please check this: https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2016/07/30/understanding-survey123s-custom-url-scheme and this: Integrate with other apps—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS

This was helpful, Kylie. I assume that deep linking = custom URL scheme? This was removed from at least the iOS version of Collector a while back. Glad to see it is back.

Anyone got it working the other way? Launch Filemaker from Collector?

thanks
