With the new scheme, you can pass arguments as extras to the App, but you must encode the URI as follows:

Do Whatever

This will pass an extra String called "myextra" with the value "mystring". Having a look at the Android Code we can see how the extra parameters need to be coded. The "S" at the beginning of the "myextra" parameter defines it as a String. Other types can be:

String => 'S'
Boolean =>'B'
Byte => 'b'
Character => 'c'
Double => 'd'
Float => 'f'
Integer => 'i'
Long => 'l'
Short => 's'

For example, if we want to pass two extra parameters, an Integer and a String, we can do this:

Do Whatever

Note that you'll need to url-encode all the parameters.

In your Android app, you'll need to accept those extras. In the "onCreate" event of your Activity:

Bundle parametros = getIntent().getExtras();
if (extras != null){
    String name = extras.getString("name");
    Integer age = extras.getInt("age");

    if (name!=null && age!=null)
    {
       //do whatever you have to
       //...
    }
}else{
     //no extras, get over it!!
}

And, of course, add the filter android.intent.category.BROWSABLE in your manifest as shown in this link.
