How to write tests for deep links in Android?

Question

I would like to write tests for Android app with deep link cases using UI testing framework (Espresso) - launch app using only ACTION_VIEW intent and check all views on open

Answer 1

I found one option - just added deep link opening parameters for existed intent and use standard activity launch:

@Rule
public ActivityTestRule activityRule = new ActivityTestRule(AppLauncherActivity.class){
    @Override protected Intent getActivityIntent() {
        Intent intent = super.getActivityIntent();
        intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        intent.setData(Uri.parse("myapp://search/777"));
        return intent;
    }
};
