[auth] Add search-by-intent via ente-auth://search?query= deep link by bekoeppel · Pull Request #9501 · ente-io/ente

bekoeppel · 2026-03-04T19:47:49Z

Description

Support launching Ente Auth with a pre-filled search query via deep link, e.g. ente-auth://search?query=gmail
Useful for automation tools (Tasker, shortcuts) to jump directly to a specific OTP code
Fix deep link stream listener not being retained, so deep links now work when the app is already open

Tests

Build and install the app
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "ente-auth://search?query=gmail" with app closed: should open with search filtered
Same command with app already open: should update the search
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "ente-auth://abcd?query=gmail": should be ignored (only /search path is accepted)
Verify existing otpauth:// deep links still work

@bekoeppel Thanks for the contribution but could you also add a video recording or a screenshot too.

bekoeppel · 2026-03-05T10:13:18Z

Hi @AmanRajSinghMourya! Sure, happy to. Here's a quick video how I intend to use this new intent (pun intended).

Hi @AmanRajSinghMourya, hope you're doing well! Were you able to take a look at the video I uploaded? Do you have any feedback for my pull request? Thank you! Benedikt

+        _logger.warning("Malformed ente-auth deep link: $link", e);

+      if (DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch - lastScanTime < 1000) {


It would be better to extract this above the if-else ladder, so it applies to both enteauth and otpauth

Thanks for your feedback!

I skipped the throttling only for ente-auth://search links on purpose, because it's OK to repeat a search query (it's idempotent, as it just filters the list).

However, the throttle already existed for OTP code additions (with otpauth:// links), I assume this is because otputh:// links add elements to the list, so we wanted to debounce that logic.

If I moved the throttle above the if-else, it adds an unnecessary delay to search deep links.

-    lastScanTime = DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch;
-    if (mounted && link.toLowerCase().startsWith("otpauth://")) {
+    final lowerLink = link.toLowerCase();
+    if (mounted && (lowerLink.startsWith("ente-auth://") || lowerLink.startsWith("enteauth://"))) {


I am not sure about ente-auth:// pattern, any reason you included it here?

I saw ente-auth:// pattern (with a -) is registered in AndroidManifest.xml:

ente/mobile/apps/auth/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Lines 19 to 24 in 164efcf

<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="ente-auth"/>

</intent-filter>

along with the enteauth:// pattern (without a -):

ente/mobile/apps/auth/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Lines 33 to 38 in 164efcf

<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="enteauth" />

</intent-filter>

Let me know if I should remove the one with the -.
