Linking android apps to a tile

Since you’re using Fully Kiosk Browser, here’s an approach that works well:

Open Fully Kiosk Browser, slide out the left navigation and select Settings
Under the Web Content category, switch Open URL Schemes in other apps on
Under the Universal Launcher category tap Select Items to Show
Use the Add Application button at the bottom of the screen to select the apps you want to run
Once you have the apps added in the list, tap the pencil next to each one and make note of the App component
Note: the format looks like the following:
```
com.spotify.music/com.spotify.music.MainActivity
```
In SharpTools.io create the Hyperlink using the intent format, making sure to replace <App Component> with the details from step 5 above:
```
intent:#Intent;launchFlags=0x10000000;component=<App Component>;end
```

So following the above instructions, we’d find the final URL to be:

intent:#Intent;launchFlags=0x10000000;component=com.spotify.music/com.spotify.music.MainActivity;end

Here’s a screenshot from step 5 so you can see where the App Component is coming from.
