Link error when using PayPal app about donations HOT 6 CLOSED

I just tested this. You are right, If I choose Paypal and then the Browser, a 404 page is shown. I am using the official links from PayPal's developer documentation, so not sure how to fix this. If anyone has an idea I am open for pull requests!

        String paypalLink = "";
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(paypalLink));
        intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
        // get default browser
        Intent browser = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://"));
        ResolveInfo resolveInfo = getPackageManager().resolveActivity(browser, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
        if (resolveInfo != null) {
            // set package to browser
            intent.setPackage(resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName);
        }
        startActivity(intent);

I used to have a paypal option in my apps, reading the google support information they say that web cannot open a Paypal link a WebBrowser requesting for donations because can be used for tricking user to donate an amount they don't agree with. So, after some days trying I figured a way around.

Easy instead of launching Paypal Fragment to manage Paypal just command your app to open the phone default WebBrowser in your paypal.me link. I'll leave an example below.

Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://paypal.me/juanjshb"));
startActivity(browserIntent);

Hope it help. It works for me

Yes that's exactly how I'm doing:
String url = getActivity().getString(R.string.paypal_me_link);
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(i);

Thanks :)
