title: How to implement my very own URI scheme on Android
body: <p>Say I want to define that an URI such as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>myapp://path/to/what/i/want?d=This%20is%20a%20test
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>must be handled by my own application, or service. Notice that the scheme is <code>"myapp"</code> and not <code>"http"</code>, or <code>"ftp"</code>. That is precisely what I intend: to define my own URI schema globally for the Android OS. Is this possible?</p>
  
  <p>This is somewhat analogous to what some programs already do on, e.g., Windows systems, such as Skype (<code>skype://</code>) or any torrent downloader program (<code>torrent://</code>).</p>
