Reading value of android:scheme programmatically

I want to know if it is possible to read the value of android:scheme from the Android-manifest-file (example below) programmatically.

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
    <data android:scheme="zxtest" />
</intent-filter>

You should be able to get this information from the PackageManager:

PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
ActivityInfo activityInfo = pm.getActivityInfo(component,
        PackageManager.GET_INTENT_FILTERS);

Unfortunately, however, you can't :-( This call SHOULD return the intent filters (according to the documentation), but it seems that the Android developers haven't gotten around to actually implementing it yet :-(

I'm assuming you mean that the intent has been called and you're trying to find the scheme from your activity's code?

In your activity's onCreate method, you can do the following:

Intent intent = getIntent();
Uri data = intent.getData();
String scheme = data.getScheme(); // "zxtest"
