Description

After inserting code below into my tiapp.xml 
<activity android:label="@string/app_name"
       android:configChanges="keyboardHidden"
       android:name=".PinionActivity"
       android:screenOrientation="portrait" android:theme="@style/Theme.NoActionBar"
       url="app.js" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:alwaysRetainTaskState="true">
            <intent-filter>
                  <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                  <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                  <action android:name="br.com.pinion.MESSAGE"/>
                  <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                  <data android:scheme="pinion"/>
                  <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
                  <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
                  <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
            </intent-filter>
</activity>
URL schemes fail to launch app. After researching a bit, I found that Titanium is failing to insert the intent-filter into the generated AndroidManifest.xml located on build folder. After overriding the tiapp.xml (putting generated AndroidManifest on app/platform/android) and manually inserting the code above, it worked like a charm. Can anyone help me with this issue? Thanks in advance.

    Hello, Please check if the format of your customized manifest in tiapp.xml is correct. Things are working just fine in my environment in this regard. Thanks *Customized manifest in tiapp.xml :*

    Hello, If you are having a specific issue using URL scheme in Android here is a fairly easy guide for you to follow. http://fokkezb.nl/2013/08/26/url-schemes-for-ios-and-android-1/. Follow the guide for using URL Scheme in Appcelerator. We are able to build and get the activity node in AndroidManifest.xml, which we then put in tiapp.xml Regards, Sharif

    Guys, still no luck. Intent is not being placed on manifest, followed the link above in the first time already. Can't find anything wrong with my tiapp.xml. This is so strange...
