Please follow below steps for SharePoint app

 

*Identify the SharePoint URL

Determine the specific URL or content path you want to open in SharePoint.

For example

Site: https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName

Document Library: https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName/Shared Documents

Specific File: https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName/Shared Documents/filename.docx


*Use Intent in Android

SharePoint app supports opening specific URLs. You can use an Intent in your Android app to launch the SharePoint app or the browser

 

*Fallback to Browser

If the SharePoint app is not installed, you can open the URL in the device’s default web browser

*Test Deep Links:

  • Ensure that the URL works correctly when opened directly in a browser.
  • Test the behavior when the SharePoint app is installed and when it’s not installed.

*Check Microsoft Graph API (Optional)

If you need to dynamically generate URLs or access SharePoint data programmatically, use the Microsoft Graph API. You can retrieve the necessary URLs using the API and then pass them to the intent.
