Redirecting all URLS to my app

I have a need where I have to make all the URLs from chrome or any browser to open in my application. How can I do this in android?

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />

            <data android:scheme="http" />
            <data android:scheme="https" />
            <data android:path="/.*"/>
            <data android:pathPattern="/Android" />

        </intent-filter>

Currently I am using the above code in my project. This redirects all the links from other apps to my app. But not from Chrome.

What you want is not possible. There is no requirement for a browser to necessarily pay attention to any other apps out there that might be interested in a URL. In particular, it seems that Chrome assumes that all http/https URLs are simply to be loaded as Web pages from the Internet. Other browsers may behave the same way.
