Open the MEGA app when a website link is clicked on the webview

Question

I am developing an app for my site and I want that when a certain user clicks on the download link, which in this case is in the mega, open the mega APP automatically, as well as is done in Chrome browsers and all others. Remember that it has to be functional for any MEGA link, because there are several and they change. So it has to be equivalent to all. I’m starting programming, and I’ve done a lot of research, only I can’t find what I really wanted. Here follows my main activity:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.res.Configuration;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.widget.AdapterView;

Answer 1

You can use a simple method onclick when clicking on the link, run a service intent that opens the acvitivy MEGA app standard just informing the object intent the name of the mega package!

link_text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.link);
link_text.setOnClickListener(new View.OnclickListiner() {
     @override
     public void onClick(View arg0) {
          Intent startMega = context.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("nz.mega.android");
          context.startActivity(startMega);
     }
});

However, you can use a code that checks if the user has the MEGA app installed, if not, a dialog appears with two options: "Download in Google play", and cancel". If installed, the dialog does not appear and the intent is executed. To check if the app you installed see this. How to see if a particular app is installed
