# How to configure deep links in Android app and Short.io
Copy for LLM[View as Markdown](/articles/integrations-and-extensions/mobile-deep-links/how-to-configure-deep-links-in-android-app-and-short.io.md)
**Short.io** provides mobile deep linking for **Android** and **[IOS](/articles/integrations-and-extensions/mobile-deep-links/how-to-set-up-deep-links-for-ios.md)** apps. *For example*, when users click a short link that is correctly configured in your Android app, they will be redirected to the app, if it is installed. If the application is not installed, the URL will be opened in their browser.
Note
Deep linking is available starting from the **Team Plan**.
## **Requirements for using Android application links**[](#requirements-for-using-android-application-links "Direct link to requirements-for-using-android-application-links")
* Active short domain
* Android 6.0 or later

### Android Manifest settings[](#android-manifest-settings "Direct link to Android Manifest settings")
1. Open the **AndroidManifest.xml** file of your application:
2. Inform the Android system that the link must be opened in the application, not on the website by adding intent filters to the manifest between `<**activity**\>`:
```
`
android:pathPrefix="/myapplication"/>
`
```
### Android MainActivity commands[](#android-mainactivity-commands "Direct link to Android MainActivity commands")
To process deep links in the application, add these lines to the **MainActivity.kt/.java** or any other **Activity** file.
Note
Ensure that you include ***import android.net.Uri*** if it has not been added previously.
### Kotlin[](#kotlin "Direct link to Kotlin")
```
`val data: Uri? = this.intent.data
if (data != null && data.isHierarchical()) \{
val uri = this.intent.dataString
Log.i("MyApp", "Deep link clicked $uri")
}`
```
### Java[](#java "Direct link to Java")
```
`Uri data = this.getIntent().getData();if (data != null && data.isHierarchical()) \{ String uri = this.getIntent().getDataString(); Log.i("MyApp", "Deep link clicked " + uri);}`
```
## Configure deep links on Short.io[](#configure-deep-links-on-shortio "Direct link to Configure deep links on Short.io")
1. Sign in to your [Short.io](https://short.io/) account.
2. Navigate to **Domain Settings** > **Deep links**:
3. In the **Configuration for Android** panel fill in the following details and click on **Save** to confirm:
* **Android App Package Name**
* **Android SHA256 Certificate Fingerprint**
You can find information on how to locate the **App** **Package Name** and the **Certificate Fingerprint** in this [article](/articles/integrations-and-extensions/mobile-deep-links/where-to-find-android-app-package-name-and-sha256-fingerprint-certificate.md).
**Note**: The **debug** (in-dev) android application SHA-256 can sometimes be different from the **release** version. To make in-dev app automatically pick up URLs, you need to get its SHA-256 using the "*gradle signingReport"* command
as demonstrated below:
From Android Studio click on the **Gradle** icon  and then on **Execute Gradle Task** icon  to display the **Run Anything** dialog:
Then type ***gradle signingReport*** and select it from the list. Your signing results for **Debug** and **Release** versions will be generated:
## Run your app[](#run-your-app "Direct link to Run your app")
Run the Android Studio emulator and follow the link you have specified in the **AndroidManifest:**
```
``
```
In the above case the link is:
If the link does not exist, you will get an error message. Send a link via email and browse it from an emulator. You will have the option to open the short link using either a web browser or your application:
