Extracting QueryParameters from a Deep Link URL in Kotlin

In the world of app development, deep links play a crucial role in enhancing user experience by linking users directly to specific content or functionality within an app. However, one common challenge developers face is extracting query parameters from deep links. This guide will guide you through the steps required to extract parameters from a deep link URL using Kotlin, particularly focusing on Firebase Dynamic Links.

The Problem

Suppose you have generated a deep link URL that looks something like this:

Your goal is to extract roomCode and roomToken from this URL. In the query string above, roomCode is myroomtest and roomToken is OiJIUzI1NiJ.

The Challenge

How can you effectively extract these parameters in your Kotlin code when handling Firebase Dynamic Links? Let's go through a solution step-by-step.

The Solution

To handle the extraction of query parameters from a deep link in Kotlin, you can use Firebase's dynamic links capabilities along with Uri for URL parsing. Here’s how you can achieve this:

Step 1: Retrieve the Deep Link

First, you need to fetch the dynamic link using .getDynamicLink(intent), which provides you access to the deep link data.

Step 2: Extract Parameters Using Uri

Once you have the deep link, you can use the Uri class to extract the necessary query parameters. Here’s how the process unfolds in code:

Step 3: Joining the Meeting

With the extracted roomCode and roomToken, you can proceed to join the meeting using your specific method:

Conclusion

By following the above steps, you can efficiently extract roomCode and roomToken from Firebase Dynamic Links in Kotlin. This method will help you streamline the process of joining meetings or navigating to specific content within your application. If you encounter issues while implementing this solution, ensure that the deep link format is correctly structured, and all dependencies are correctly integrated. Happy coding!
