Question Share to my app

Hi I want to be able to share a URL into my unity app so I can save it to the user profile. I don't know what I should be searching for to find tutorials on this! So when I hit share from YouTube, my app appears in list of options where it can then be saved. Hope that makes sense! Thanks

 

Not sure what this means exactly, but perhaps you're looking for native sharing? There's quite a few such assets on the asset store, here's one:

thanks but i think that is going the other way. I want someone to be able to go to Youtube on their phone, hit share and then get my app to appear to appear in the list of apps that the user can share to. So in the same way that I can share a url to GetPocket, or send to email I want to be able to save the URL from YouTube into my app.

 

Like this:

 

I believe that is done by implementing an "URL Scheme." That should give you some googling. It will be fairly platform dependent but there may be third party libraries that can abstract it.

 

ok thanks - so this will allow me to share a url from youtube to my app? I can't find anything in asset store but will keep looking
